http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2685? This is a paper on how to take them out. From my limited understanding of what happens is that they will lock the system up if they are put under too much stress, such as lifting a heavy arm. This is added to them as a saftey feature so that children or adults do not break their fingers in a jamed car window I think. We had trouble at first with them last year as we used 4 windowmotor gearboxes for our climber. If you arm is lifiting and then all of a sudden stops then I would look into taking them out. It is legal to do still by R30 in the rules. If you are still having problems you can machine out another motors output shaft and attach it to the window motor gearbox leagly per Q&A 243.
