The boot is greased and now goes up and down,
But the motor that lifts the roof up so the boot mechanism can take it has ground to a halt. The previous owner tried to use it with a foot of snow on the roof and I think that might have been too much for it.

A lot of these motors use plastic gears.
As with everything plastic, they perish and snap. Typical case of economy versus quality, there.

There's something up with my electric window. I discovered that if you wind it all the way down, it won't go back up again. Unless, of course, you stop by the side of the road and do the quickest door card removal in the world.

I was pretty keen to have the window closed.

Have you thought about fixing it?

I have, I have indeed.
When I get the time and parts to take out half the dash, I will.

I've found that most cars are unreliable pieces of shit.
