Power Window Regulator - How To Change Options

[Stu37363]

This is assuming you have taken off your door skin...

Tools: screwdrivers, socket wrench, 10mm and 12mm deep socket


The bolts holding on the regulator and motor are circled


First you want to line up these holes by moving your window up and down
take these bolts (10mm) off and your window will slide out the top, you have to tilt the side connected to the car down to get the window stopper out.


Unbolt the top bolts (10mm) and slide these out


Unbolt the bottom bolts (10mm) slide this off, then remove the nut (12mm) underneath it.


Disconnect the motors wires, you have to unclip it from the car shown with the arrow, and disconnect if from the other clip. After that remove the three bolts holding the motor in.


Now the entire assembly will tilt and slide out the main hole in the door panel.


Replacement part


Remove these two bolts and the metal bracket they hold on.


With the cover removed you can use a flat screwdriver to pry the old pully off the motor

Installation is reverse of removal


Once you have the motor and regulator back in, connect your window switch up and move the regulator up or down till these holes line up. Reinstall the window. Dont Tighten these bolts up all the way yet, leave enough for the window to move around.


Roll the window up and tighten them all the way using these service holes and the window should be lined up correctly. Just dont break your window tightening the bolts too much.

Install the door skin and your done

Very detailed how-to
How often do these regulator stop working?
and how much are they to replace?
I vote sticky as well!
