#3 of 4 Window Regulator by fasstln Jun 15, 2009 (6:27 am)
Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 02, 2008 10:17 am) My window regulator (passenger rear) died a few weeks ago. I priced a new one (and they all came with the regulator and the motor) from the local autopart stores and they were all around $125. I removed the door panel (10 plastic tab things and 3-4 screws) which wasn't too bad. Then you have to remove the water sealing plastic from the metal door (just pull). After that you start removing about 3 screws on the motor, 4 screws on the metal track, and 2 screws that hold the glass window to the regulator. Pull all of that stuff out and then put the new one in. Loosely bolt the new regulator in and once everything seems lined-up, tighten the bolts down. Now try the window to ensure it works. My was catching on some of the loose wiring so I had to reposition the wire lumes so they wouldn't interfere with the window's movement. I bought new plastic tab things for the door panel and reinstalled everything. Seems to work like a champ. I was very happy with how easy everything was. The only hiccup that some people might have is with removing the door panel. If you don't have a torx bit set, then you won't be able to remove some of the screws. Otherwise the installation only need a very basic ratchet set. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Jun 17, 2009 9:29 am)
