My trip to Orlando to Downtown MINI was somewhat succesful. The service technicians disassembled everything and realized that the window motors are different for 2005, so a new one had to be ordered. The 2004 one that they had in stock used a smaller gear reduction shaft and had different mounting screw spacing.
While they were figuring that out, I tapped the old motor against their lift with a good metallic “rap.” This got it going so that I could drive the car home with the windows up (good thing, as it’s the rainy season here in Florida.) Downtown MINI has ordered a new window motor for us and we’ll be making the 50 minute trip back to Orlando to get it installed.
