1990 XJS door window problem
Passenger side window stops about half way before meeting the soft top with a "clank". If helped by hand it gets to the top. No problem when it slides down. Motor with arm tested separately run fine up and down. The window alone manually slides easily up and down. Any experience or suggestion?

I’ve just had mine apart, which was doing the same thing.
What I found was when the motor was disconnected the glass moved in the frame easily and the motor and mechanism worked as it should, but if I clamped the motor and mechanism in a vice and ran it applying some resistance it would stop. I then removed the cover on the motor that coves the worm and ring gear, and found that the worm gear was worn , and with a little resistancewould climb the ring gear and the unit would stop. If you pushed or pulled thearm (or window) back in the direction it just came from it would continue tooperate for another couple inches.
I replaced the motor with a junkyard find and all is goodnow.
Just my experience.
