How do I change the window moulding on the passenger side door?

motor may be bad or it may be stuck try to help it down an it may be a fuse I have change the motor on mine an it was the drivers side it was pretty easy

• If water is getting in from the driver's or passenger's window near the soft top weather-strip, shut the door after closing the window. When putting up the hood, lower the windows while you secure the hood latches & then raise the windows. These actions force the window to contact the weather-strip a bit differently than when the window is closed while the door is closed.
• There are two common places an MX5 will leak water into the interior - where the top meets the windshield frame- and around the windows where they contact the mouldings. Leaks at the windshield frame are usually caused by dirty or damaged mouldings or the latches not being tight enough. Usually you will notice the top will squeak and rattle if it isn't latched down tight.
• Wetness in the trunk/boot can be caused by a range of factors. 1. Dried out weather-stripping around the trunk. 2. A cracked rain rail on the convertible top. 3. Dried out weather-stripping around the tail lights.
• There are three mouldings that fit around the window, and water can leak either between them and the window, or between them and the top. Each of these mouldings is attached to a metal 'track' that is secured to the top frame with two screws. The window moulding that is closest to the windshield header is held on by two screws, the others have nothing holding them.
• Water can collect in the weather-strips due to small crack or splits along the edge of the hood where it folds after a years of regular top-up top-down use. The only real solution is a new hood.

you will have to 1st remove your inside door handle and window crank handle, if manual, if it is electric, then you will have to remove door panel, and disconnect the wires that go to the window, and etc. on top of the area where the top of door panel is a rubber moulding, in some instances , moulding would have to be removed, if more room for window removal is necessary. "once you are inside the door, you will most likely see a paper or some type of insulation pad, some call them dust covers, you might need to remove it , if necessary, then locate the fasteners that hold the window into the window regulator, some will have to be removed in order to get the window out of regulator, once window is free, and pulled out, installation is the reverse.

Sounds like the blend door actuator. It separates the driver and passenger side from getting air on the AZC system. Here are some instructions on replacing it:
The passenger side blend door actuator is used on all models equipped with Automatic Zone Control (AZC). This actuator is located on the front of the HVAC housing to the right of the floor panel transmission tunnel and cannot be removed from the passenger compartment without instrument panel or HVAC housing removal.

NOTE: This procedure is for AZC Systems (Passenger side only).

1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the glove box door. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim
3. Remove the lower I/P glove box door surround panel.
4. Remove the dash assembly. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim\Dashboard / Instrument Panel\Service and Repair\Instrument Panel Assembly
5. Remove the HVAC assembly. See: Housing Assembly HVAC\Service and Repair
6. Unplug the wire harness connector from the blend door actuator.
7. Remove the 2 screws that secure the blend door actuator to the HVAC housing.
8. Remove the blend door actuator from the HVAC housing.

INSTALLATION - AZC (Passenger side only)

1. In stall the blend door actuator on the HVAC housing and tighten the two mounting screws to 2.2 Nm (20 in. lbs.).
2. Plug in the wire harness connector to the blend door actuator.
3. In stall the HVAC unit into the vehicle. See: Housing Assembly HVAC\Service and Repair
4. Install the instrument panel assembly into the vehicle. See: Body and Frame\Interior Moulding / Trim\Dashboard / Instrument Panel\Service and Repair\Instrument Panel Assembly
5. Evacuate the HVAC system.
6. Recharge the HVAC system.
7. Connect and the battery negative cable.

Hope it helps! If you need more, just send me an email at familyguy77351 at yah I wil be glad to finish helping you with more detail.

Sounds like ur window regulator is having difficulty to go up!

Check the window regulator, by opening ur door interior finisher, look at how the windows moves, and NOTiCE the cables that runs across the regulator. check also the sides of the window, where the glass were guided by rubber moulding, see to it that the glass window passes in the middle of the moulding!


That might wind ur probs down!

The door panel must be removed to get to the wiring. On a 04 250 you need to: pop off the moulding covering the mirror mounting nuts. Pry the window switch plate forward then up to disconnect it, then unplug it . Rmove the screw behind the switch plate and behind the reflector. Push up on the door panel to remove it.

ya any windscreen shop would do

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

sound like there is debris in the belt mouldings (the rubber strip on both sides of the window) usually caused by the outside moulding take a rag and clean it off see if that helps

First are you talking about the weather stripping that goes around were the door close into? If this is it, just pull off the old one clean the area good, brake clean works very well. then put the new one in place I recommend some contact cerment here and there to keep it in place so its not flopping all over you. If this is not the black strip please let me know which piece it is.
