I know this is old but this helped me tremendously. Resurrecting an 87 my dad gave up on and let sit for 30 years, whose demised started because the rear glass wouldn’t go up after having the motor replaced. Huge thanks.

Glad I found your video. I’ve been debating on doing this with my 76 Suburban. I can’t find a motor for it and I was actually considering converting it to barn doors using the parts from a 78 I have. But seeing how easy this is I’ll just do this. Thanks for the video. Great job.

Helped me out quite a bit, thanks for this awesome video & thanks for supporting Homes For Our Troops.. I see you’ve been to a volunteer day. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

I'm so glad I found this video! I've got a '73 and the window gets stuck and you can feel it slipping in there when trying to crank it up. I think it's just the regulator that needs replaced and I thought it'd be much more complicated than this.

I just bought an 88 K5 in February 2021. This video is GOLD! I hate the power window and how loud and slow it is and I will be making this conversion. Thank you!

Damn good piece of info fella thanx, I have a 91 K5 and this is certainly gonna help!

Great video! Thank you for posting it. Future project for my 77 K5

Super helpful video. Converted my electric to manual with ease. Thx again.

I just wanted to thank you for making this video! It helped me out a lot this week!!

About to tackle this project. Thanks for the vid. 87 Blazer.

Absolutely awesome video! Thanks so much for this!

Another great video my friend! You'll find those same types of clips on the window weatherstripping on the doors as you did on the tailgate.

And great videos by the way really appreciate them

Hey man, seems like your channel is kinda dead these days, but I'm really glad I found this. It's exactly what I needed to figure out how to convert my tailgate. Thanks for being concise and detailed! Hope you keep making videos!

Did mine today thanks for posting that, not the easiest thing to do.

Incredibly helpful. Thank you sir.

The piece that holds the glass is called the "sash" if you are going to all this trouble, you might as well replace that (they are often rusty, and will break in the middle). Thanks for the video !

Awesome thanks for sharing... Very helpful

Very helpful I converted mine today and thank you!

Great video. Really. Good job

Good video.. clear!... on the other hand I have an issue when I've installed the window sash... This bar hits the mechanism!... did you have the same issue?

This is perfectly explained. Great clip thanks bro!!!

I maybe doing this today or tomorrow. Thanks for the drill idea.

Thank you phils garage you helped me so much on how to convert my k5 blazer tailgate, keep making great videos like this

This was extremely helpful. Thanks

Great video! I'm having a little trouble with my electric window. Key switch to lower and lift window doesn't work anymore. My window motor works, just needs some work on new rollers, needs new window rubber. If all else fails I will go to manually. Thanks!

Thanks for the great info!

Man very much for this great job I really enjoyed this video I'm gonna convert it easily

3:30 THANKS BUD!!

great video helped me out alot

Could I get a full list of the parts needed? Or time stamps of the different pages in the order?

Very helpful Thank you.

Great video and thank you! It would be great if you could list the LMC part numbers you used, what year tailgate that is, and rough parts cost. Otherwise very informative. Keep up the great work.

Hi! Been wanting to do this to my K5 Blazer, did you ever get a list of parts you used? Part numbers or at least part descriptions would be a big help, I need to swap to manual as well as replace my half broke handle (yours seems to be the same) Thank you!

Where can I get the rear folding blazer window crank?

I am trying to repair my existing power tailgate window and I can’t seem to find the mounting bracket for the motor. Any ideas where I could find one? Thanks!

Where did you purchase the window regulator? I have the roll up window latch. Need a new regular.

thanjs

Is there a nut on the screw or what make it connect

thank you so much I was looking forever for a video like this to restore my manual window tailgate hahah 😀

Great video thanks

hey brother desperately need to know what parts I should order to do this..thank u

Does the window use the ignition key, or door key?

What is the chances that you still have the unused cable and motor? I really need the cable and transmission from the electric regulator..

Lmc parts list says the manual window regulator will fit 73’ to 89’ - will this swap work on a 1990 tail gate ? Going from electric to manual

Can i change my 1990 electric tailgate window to manual ?

Great vid.. I have a 78 jimmy that id like to do the opposite, manual to powered as my next project....

Anyone know who sells both sides of the glass channel for the tailgate window for the Burb? LMC carries the right side only! LOL

I need a set of the bottom torsion bar brackets can anyone help me out

Where did you bought the whole kit?

Pudo conseguir las piesas o el repuesto??

Are them LMC parts good or are they just junk???

thanks

Phil..at the 18:48 mark, you guys are making a final adjustment to the locking mechanism..what were you doing? BTW..excellent explanation of how to assemble that beast..hahaha!!

What year blazer did you order the parts for and do you have a list of all the part numbers? Thanks for the great video! A+

I need that parts list. Can you help me out?

the cable that make the window go up and down it's hooked up to the drive motor and came off the gear motor

Where do you purchase the regulator?

Will you still be able to use the electric switch in the cab with the new regulator or is 100 percent manual now?

I might be dumb, did anyone ask why you preferred to convert to manual vs the electric? I just picked up a functional electric version I might retro fit on a 76….

Gig-em

So all that is needed are the parts in that box on page 30 as well as a regulator? Just making sure I get everything I need.

I would like this do this to my K5 but i cannot get the back window down because the cable that powers the window regulator unwound itself, Any suggestions?

hey phil got my parts from lmc just wondered you havent show the part number 7 frm lock mecanizm. where that par goes ? if you have time please tell me

Will the same parts you used work on my 91 K10 blazer ?

I have a 90 suburban would that be the same type of project if I was going to do that

Phil My cable snapped at the regulator not motor so I cant use the drill trick to get window up. How can I get to the window up to work on it? Do I have to break window and buy new one? In other words motor is dead and cable is broke behind glass(Window is down) Help!

Great video! Btw you should be careful sharing your shipping info and personal info, all of it was on that parts list

Oooo how simple cars were made,,

hi I am trying to do this conversion on my 91 k5 and I have ordered all parts needed but my key cylinder will not stay in the slot, it is all the way in and turns the c mechanism but then the cylinder just falls out, also my clutch will not spin freely when it is locked, any ideas of what I could be doing wrong , what hold the cylinder in place from falling out.

what's the best way to hook up the cable

Your window crank is upside down, just letting you know . great video .

Instead of converting why don’t you trade for my manual tailgate? I want a power window.

instead of making a new video for parts used in video. I'd say add the links in the description.

you have no idea how bad i hate this motor windows now i know what to do ,,,,how about converting passinger and driver windows to manual ?? i love to convert mine,,,,thanks

You want to get a new tail gate with power regulator so you can lower and raise the glass while driving They make new motors in china for 70s American cars for $50 per motor my clam shell Chevy wagon I was able to buy new motors

here is the link: www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/csb/t.aspx?Page=30

Good job on the conversion, you and your Helper Ninja made a good video. As for the body shops and their reluctance to get involved in your project, with well over 40 years experience, I'll do my best to explain. First off, that is at minimum, a 30 year old ride, and will be covered in dents. Small ones that you may not see until it has shiny paint highlighting each and every one, but they are there. It is just normal wear and tear, and would take a guy an hour at least to point them all out. Next, the fit and finish is crap compared to today's rides, the good old days were not that good. Now, for the "I'll do all of the prep work and you can just paint it" crowd, who are you going to say painted it? And if your prep work is no bueno, and looks like crap, are you going to put a sign on it explaining? Big can o worms there. The bottom line on a really nice paint job, especially if you want it sanded and buffed so it looks like today's new vehicles, will be an easy 10-15k. If you are getting prices like Maaco, good luck.

The cable broke with window down how do i get the window out now?

Pretty sure you don’t know what you’re doing.
