Part description

This used rear right window pull mechanism is for Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand cars. It also includes an electric motor, so it is a practical solution for replacing the complete unit without having to find individual parts separately.

The part is suitable for repairing a malfunctioning or stuttering electric window control on the passenger side. It is the pull-down mechanism that is often the cause of problems when the window does not move smoothly, remains hanging in one position or does not respond correctly to controls. When looking for the right part, the designation 9224C5 is also important, by which many mechanics and home repairers search for it.

Installation recommendations

For this part, the exact replacement procedure may vary depending on the specific design of the car. In general, however, the following recommendations apply to the electric window mechanism with an electric motor:

1) Before assembly

• Check that the new used part matches the old part in shape, fit, connector and orientation for the right rear.
• Compare the position of the mounting points and mechanism guides.
• Check the condition of the electric motor connector, damage to cables, guide parts and fixing points.
• Before starting work, it is advisable to disconnect the battery, especially if you will be disconnecting the electrical connectors in the doors.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• regular set of screwdrivers and sockets
• plastic levers for panel removal
• ratchet and common bits
• detergent for removing dirt
• cloth or towels
• protective gloves

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and prepare a work area.
2. Disconnect the battery if the nature of the work requires it.
3. Remove the inner trim of the respective rear doors.
4. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors and remove parts that prevent access to the mechanism.
5. Secure the glass so that it does not fall or be damaged when disassembling the mechanism.
6. Release the original window retract mechanism and disconnect its electric motor if required by design.
7. Remove the old part and compare it with the replacement part to see if all important points match.
8. Place the new mechanism in place and seat it into the correct position without force.
9. Attach the mechanism to the attachment points and connect the electric motor connector.
10. Carefully connect the mechanism to the glass and check that everything moves freely without crossing or straining.
11. Before assembling the door, perform a test run of the window in several cycles.
12. If it runs smoothly, refit the cover elements and door trim.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify smooth opening and closing of the window over the entire range.
  • Check the mechanism for unusual noises.
  • Check the correct fit of the glass and the function of the controls.
  • After reassembling the door, retest the window function to make sure nothing is obstructing movement.

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Reversing the part side – always compare that it is the right back side.
  • Door panel damage – use plastic levers and remove with sensitivity.
  • Incorrect seating of the glass – check its position and free movement before final tightening.
  • Overlooking a damaged connector – always check the condition of the electrical connection before assembly.
  • Assembly without continuous test – check the function before fitting the complete door paneling.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • wear of the mechanism during long-term use
  • increased stress when frequently pulling in and out of the window
  • intrusion of moisture and dirt into the door
  • damage to the cables or guide parts of the mechanism
  • increased resistance to glass movement due to clogging or improper routing
  • fault of the electric motor or its electrical connection
