Thanks for the video, was very helpful. I have a 96 Lincoln town car. Drivers side window was in bad order. I purchased a motor and window regulator both for less then $150.00 When I removed the motor & regulator I found the regulator cable in bad order.I replaced both units.system works beautiful. I would suggest that if the motor is in bad order, inspect the cable on the regulator, if it shows signs of wear "replace it" Also expect to lose a little blood. Marvin Muenchow Boerne, Texas

I had three fail when the plastic anchor on the regulators broke. When that happens the cable detaches so it can't pull the window up or down. It's a horrible design prone to repeat failures. UNLESS!!!!...you do what I did. When you get the new regulator, fill the entire plastic anchor assemble (it not that big) with JB weld. Don't use the quick...use the normal stuff. Make sure it surrounds the cable ends. Use paper between the plastic assembly and the metal track to prevent the JB weld from seeping through the small holes. This method transfers the pull load over a wider area including the opposing cable. It will never fail in that manner again and you can actually use your windows without worry.

Kudos you sir. Your video helped a lot. Fixed my window operation. THANK YOU. Mechanic quoted me $394 to do this so I ordered on e bay and paid about $56. Did it in about 1 hour because someone had already been through and done the job of drilling out this and that... Had all the bolts there etc. Thanks again.

Thank you.. each time my window motor craps out on me, I watch this video.. Hopefully you don't mind, but I wanted to tell your viewers that I have bought window regulators from ebay and advance auto parts..the ones on ebay don't come with hardware or threaded holes to bolt on the hardware.. the ones in advance auto parts have hardware and threaded holes to screw them Into.. They cost 95 bucks for 1x window motor and regulator.. It made the job alot faster.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I don't think I could have done the job without it. Mine was a 97 Lincoln Town Car. There were a few small differences, but your instructions were great.

Thank you for gifting us with this video. I did my window on a 93 town car yesterday following this video and the job went smoothly. Done! Thanks Puzzleman.

Thanks to your very helpful video, I fixed my window in less than 1 hour. The part was $14 on Ebay. Now my window works great!

I know you don't use this channel anymore, but thanks for the video. Got to do my 1993 Town car soon.

This would be my sixth car but I own a 94 and I absolutely love it but I just want to say thank you for making videos like this

I've watched too many videos like this that are total crap. You set the standard for front yard car window repair videos. Also, not enough credit in these comments has gone to whoever the lady holding the camera was. That's true dedication.

Someone give this man a cookie! 🍪 This was an absolute awesome video

Thanks for a great video. Just finished replacing my regulator assembly in my 1997 Towncar, and it went smooth thanks to you!

the motor IS good (singing strong) - all you need is a window reg gear kit or the 3 plugs that always go bad. just pull cover off gear -clean-lube ,also lube tracks w/ silicone spray

Doing the same job this weekend. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks still helps people till this day I just did mines recently

"these can be on here pretty good....so I brought a friend" I'm either way too high or that shit was fuckin hilarious

Thanks for the video. Great step by step process of checking the removing and reinstalling of the regulator and motor, as well as the repair of the motor.

Thanks for the great video no extra bullshit straight to the point and video was stable. Thanks much I have a 1993 Lincoln Town Car so you can imaging my issues. Thanks again.

Mine is having an issue that appears to be with the brand new reg, where when it goes up the back goes first and the front droops, so it misaligns. Everything is tight, there's just a lot of slop in the regulator.

Nice job. Thanks for the walk-through.

man thank you for this vid

--- Give this idea a try. Remove the panel,roll the window down, loosen the two nuts on the top of the window regulator, roll the window up and tighten the two nuts. This is how I did it,and it works great. Good luck---

Thanks man, this was an extremely helpful video, easy to follow, and It helped me through from start to finish. Now help me fix my Moonroof and Heated seats! Haha

Thanks for the step by step, really helped me out on all 4 of my windows!

It isn't necessary to pull the whole regulator to replace the motor. However there are three nylon bushings in the motor gear assembly. These usually go bad, you can replace them with a kit from the dealer for less than $5.00, cheaper than a motor.

That is kool thanks ime fixing up my old town car for my aunt and you are a great help Thank You

It happens to me too. It's an adjustment thing. You should notice that when rolling your window up the window may tilt forward. You will need to work on your adjustments until it rolls up smooth.

I push the window up and duct tape it in place in the up position... .

My window regulator cable snapped so thanks for show how to do it.

Alright, I'll try that. Spent all day on just one window. No wonder people would rather pay a bodyshop to do it. So annoying

Thanks so much from Wenatchee!

I have done it for years. I know exactly what you mean. They never work out the same way twice.

Also the parts that I ordered both the tracks that the windows roll up and down on are both a little longer than the original tracks the car came with

7:45 in the video I give a list of everything.

this guys a riot ...you can hear that motor w/o taking anything apart. That sound is caused by the buttons in the gear found in the "HELP" section of your parts store.Lube gear, regulator w/ grease.Lube window runs w/ dry silicone.oh yea rivits at the bottom.

Did you check to see if the 3 nylon things in the motor have crumbled .? If that is the case you can put new ones in the motor

I had to replace the front passenger door window regulator , and it was a pain as it was riverited on.

On my '96 Mercury Marquis you can easily access the 3 star screws holding the motor. I didn't have to touch any of the rivets. Remove the speaker as well to get both hands in there. It's a Whole Lot Easier and you don't risk getting the track out of alignment or have to remove the window (helps if the window is at least halfway up). 99% of the time it's going to be the motor anyway. Easy Peasy!

Thank you this was very helpful.

Thanks man, this video really helped me out!

What size bolts did you replace the rivots with

plugs are HELP! 74410 $8

Ohh thank good for your vid, you are a tru life savor!

Why is my window rolling down fast but up very slow and slowing to a crawl at the very top. I just installed a brand new motor and regulator set for both front windows....this is the most frustrating job I've ever tried.

Looking at a Grand Marquis and crown vic to salvage parts from, would they be compatible for this fix? Kudos for insights!

good job!

I'm going to try and just remove the motor. I'll let you know how it goes.

Please help, replaced regulator but window won’t go all the way to the top, there’s like half to an inch gap

My mom has a 1994 grand Marquis and it makes a laboring sound when you hit the switch going up or down. The window does not move at all. Brand new switches. Does this sound like a motor or regulator or both? Great video 👍👌. consider me a subscriber.

Ya' know. I have never tried it that way, so I couldn't honestly say for sure.

how do you remove window if it only goes down 1 1/2 inches, can't remove the 2 screws. Help!!!!

Thanks bro 👊

Nice job, thanks.

Hello, I have a question, I did everything but when I install the window back and I was testing 2 times the bracket that holds the window broke, so I dont know what its happenning, cause its second elevator I brocke and it does it when it goes half way up and the front part tips towards the front, I will really apreciate your help, thank you

about how much would this cost to take it to an auto shop to do this?

Quick question so my drivers window does not go down neither do both of my back windows the only window that goes down is front passenger one. Do i have to also change the motor or alternator individually for eaxh window that does not go down?

Hello i have a1996 Lincoln do you know how to make the back window go all the way down??? Please help thx

the rear is a total different story

Not a clue. Sorry, but if you call any shop local to you they would be able to give you an accurate price.

Your lucky the glass was replaced. The rivet on the left is a mother to get at. Had to us one of those long right angle 3" cutoff wheel to shear the end of the rivet off by reaching thru the speaker hole. Lucky me Parts Geek sent the wrong motor. Lucky me Napa had a rebuilt. Beggars can't be choosers.

Okay so you totally skipped some really important steps on how to line this f****** window back up because I've had mine in and out four times and I can't get it to go up straight

Showing me how to do it

Ha I said eat the metal out!

It's illegal to tint the front Windows
