Reversed electric window.

I could do with a picture Turning the plastic plug over would change the position of the brushes and the polarity. Would it fit that way?

No - its not possible to turn it over. The wires through the rubber grommet won't allow it as there is only about 2 -3mm of wire before they are soldered to the tags to the brushes and the grommet can only exit the motor housing in one and only one position.

I'm imagining the housing is like a tin of beans with the top cut off. In the side wall at the top is a cut out to accept the grommet. So what stops you moving the housing 180 degrees on the spindle so the cut out is on the other side, then flipping the brushes? You are going to say ' the length of the wires' arent you?

Nope. Sorry but the cutout for the rubber grommet is in the plastic gear section that the metal housing meets with - ie: The metal housing has a completely even edge right around it.

And besides that, I put it back the way it came apart except perhaps for the metal housing being possibly 180 degrees out.
ie: The motor wires exit the same spot and travel the same route with the other wires in the door up to its plug.

I cannot believe it, but I rotated the metal body and the direction is now correct.
I'll have to go back to college again and start over.

I appreciated all the suggestions.
I still have a small problem with the window which I've started a new thread on - perhaps some wise man will assist me.

best regards,
