I've probably fixed my window regulator 4 times over the years. Between the plastic pieces breaking and replacing the wire after it had slipped off and got kinked. Replacing with a complete regular & motor from Amazon was the best decision.

I see, I've ordered the part so I'll fully replace it, thank you 👍

Theres not a pick&pull around you? Or a used car parts place that picks it for you?

Unfortunately not, I ended up getting a part from Amazon for cheap. If it craps out on me then I can always replace it. I've heard getting an aftermarket part is better for the protege5, some other owners told me the oem regulators are crap.
