So does anyone know if it has been confirmed that JF00A and JF00B are the only mechanisms that have failed? Has any "C" or "D" versions failed?
Until nissan officially announces I don't know for sure but from the GTR forums they were using RevC to fix the issue. I'm scratching my head why there are 2 versions within RevC and why my RevB looks like RevC. There might be 2 manufacturers...but I'm ready to replace mine in the field if necessary.

Haha, np. Yah just tap the thing from underneath I guess with a small hammer. Lol

And since I tried the "disconnect the battery" to try and reset it the calibration on my windows is hosed so now every time I open the door my window goes down another inch and won't go back up...

Not good as we're expecting rain...

Anyone know how to put the window back up when you get no power from the ignition?
Sucks. Hope you get your part soon. As mentioned above try even tapping the unit if you have access to a hammer and flashlight. Worst case cover the car..
