    2017 Discovery TDV6 HSE Lux Loire Blue

    Remove rear door card from Discovery 5 HSE Lux (03/2017)

    Both of my reary windows have stopped working, at the same time. They are jammed, with the driver's side doing some movements. So not a fuse. Sad

    I have disconnected battery to see if that helps. Nope.

    I have taken the trim away, along with the two T30 screws, the one behind the door catch panel, the one one at the botom of the door, and the one facing backwards at the top of the door.

    Do I just pull now, or is there another set of fixings hiding soemwhere?

    6 months ago, I had to replace the front window cable mechanisim, the original had rusted away, the weather strip had failed a few years ago I reckon.

    Answer with pics for rear door card removal

    It turns out, it is exactly the same as the front doors. In every detail apart from 1.
    When you get enough courage to simply get your fingers underneath the bottom part, start at the back of the door. if you pull the bottom front corner, you will break the bonding for the door bin. So start at the bottom back part.
    I used a glazing paddle to start it off.
    This is the 3rd of 4 window motors I have had to replace just this year. I have the nearsdie front door ready as well. In each case, water has rusted the wire, so it fails.

    Another one bites the dust (All Four Now)

    The nearside (keft) front door mechanism failed last week. So that makes it a clean sweep, all 4 have rusted and broken. All within 6 months of each other. The last replacement came from China, it took 4 weeks to get here. It wasnt correct, the two sliders were not at teh same pount, so teh window did not close properly, one slider hit the end stop early. Found a UK supplied one, arrived next day, far better quality motor assy as well.
    So after 2000, did JLR change the design but decided not offer a recall? Probably, I won't waste time asking them either. Just not interested in client and vehicle quality nowadays it seems.
