Nissan Maxima: 92 Maxima Window problem

My son has a 92 Maxiima SE. Lately the windows won't go all the way up
and he has to push them up by hand to get them closed. While driving
they will fall down as well or they will just fall down without
driving. What is the problem and how to fix without spending a fortune?

A classic 3rd Gen Max problem. Sounds like you have bad Window Regulator
Units. It's the track/guide assembly that the window rides on. There's a
plastic pulley on it that fails, and the cable gets fouled and won't operate
the window properly.

They are easy to replace yourself. There are several aftermarket options
available, but my suggestion is to get them from www.CourtesyParts.com .
They have a version that uses metal instead of plastic on some of the parts
that usually break. They're about $60 a piece, but well worth it. There
are options out there for about $35, but the quality is suspect.

Here's a site that shows you how to do the work:

Go to the "How To" link, and select the one on Window Regulator Units.

Good luck, and let me know if you need any help. I've done 3 of mine, and
the 4th will be fixed in the next month or so.
