Disco 2 Window regulator / motor

Morning all, drivers side window made a loud bang yesterday and jammed ..I've taken it all apart today, and the regulator is shot. Problem was that I couldn't wind it down to release window etc, so had to dismantle with the window up. When I get the part, will the motor "know" it's in the up position, therefore requiring me to run it down before I reinstall.. Or does the motor just run until it meets resistance, so I don't need to worry?.. Also does anyone know what the retaining strip on the bottom of the glass is called?.. Mine is rotted through, but I can't seem to find a replacement online? Cheers

Regarding the first part of your question, the motor will wind up or down until it meets resistance and stop. There are no "calibration" points.

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply..

Yup pain in the arse getting it out when jammed in the up position but a doddle to get the new one in from the down position. The bottom retaining strip is known as a lift channel. Think they were bonded to the glass on the D2 although D1 (Part no. ALR8022) might be available separately with the rubber.

Thanks for that, I'll take a look.. Could probably just pour some epoxy over the existing one if all else fails. Was a challenge to get out, disconnected the motor and regulator , then the a-frame with the window and just managed to lift high enough to undo the bolts holding the channel to the regulator through the top of the door.. Hence making a bit of a mess of the lift channel! Good advice from this forum as always though. .thanks!
