Thanks to Mike Goodyear for helping me fix my window regulator last winter....and Jon Seary for letting us use his sweet super-manly garage!
Sharing our experiences with all those who choose to take matters into their own hands ....before the machines take over.

I had a lot of trouble pulling window out of front clip. Clip was released by pressing and pulling up on window, but had to pull super hard to get window out of clip. I also had a single white electrical connector that did not have a receiving component on door panel. Not sure what upgrade my 2015 P90D was missing. I also marked each harness with matching colored electrical tape. Each harness had different release technique- PIA. Had trouble adjusting new regulator height to attach window back. Had to keep reattaching driver door panel and carefully closing door with panel loose to be able to activate window control. If window was up, I couldn’t reach outside door handle to re-open door since interior handle still disconnected. Then had to crawl out passenger side - PIA. Would be nice to be able to disconnect window controls, but they seem to be glued in place. Got it done, but struggled. Thanks for video.

Thank you!!!!! Replaced mine today and ran into that same issue that it didn't work after I plugged the new motor in. It makes sense it will only work with the door closed until it is calibrated and knows how far up it can go, but I sure wished they would have mentioned this in the service manual. Was stuck on this until I stumbled on this video. Got it all back together and it works great.

Thank you for this video, it helped me replace a failed regulator motor on my rear door. I will add that depending on which door you’re working on it can be quite hard to locate and press the plastic pin to release the window. You guys got a little lucky because on the front drivers side it lines up with one of the holes. Rear drivers side was a huge pain.

Thank you for this guide! Had quite the similar experience as described earlier. In th end, my window regulartor motor assembly wasn't attached to the door, and during winter the steel wire jumped off one of the wheel in the corner. After a few hours fighting with the assembly (getting the steel wire trough the right places again), I managed to get it back together. All assambled back together and added 3 screws to fit the motor to the door. Fingers crossed and hope this works. If not, well know i've disassambled this once, so I can do it again :)

Very nice vid gentlemen, thank you very much for it. The last part was a bit short. I would love to see the adjustment with the to bolts in the underside done. But now I have gained new info and can search for it on KZfaq. 👍🏻

I'd also add that it is very important to re-tape all those holes again, because if you don't, the side airbags won't deploy. There is a sensor in the door cavity which detects a change in pressure from a side impact, but if those holes are left uncovered, the air will escape and the airbags will fail to trigger.

You make that prying of the panel look so easy. I just gave up before I scratched up my paint. Too difficult to do this. Just like everything else in the Tesla cars to take apart to fix inside.

Mr. Patrick, I have a 2013 Tesla S P85 The passenger's rear window is not working properly, it's goes up a few inches and returns itself. Do you still in contact with Mr. Goodyear to find out what would be the cause? Thank you in advance and looking forward to resolved the problem.

Can you please let me know how to manually roll down the window at 4:25 to get to the pressure switch/pin shown in 3:25? My motor is broken and so the window needs to be lowered to access the pin. Thanks!

Good question! I was worried about that as well but luckily my cable was broken so I could move the window by grabbing it enough to get to the rear bolt and front clip. If your cable is good but the motor is dead I think I would try cutting the cable. You can't buy just a new motor, the motor and regulator comes as an assembly so you don't lose anything by cutting it.

I just got one today from the Tesla service center. It was $240 + tax. Or you can take your chances on ebay, they run about half of that but who knows how long they will last? I also saw that the ones on ebay were revision E or G and the new one from Tesla is rev L, so it might be a better part.

Don’t own these cars if you live in remote areas and cold areas. Tech is not ready yet for that.
