Thank You! I would have never attempted the repair without this video and it probably saved me over $500 at a shop. It took me over 4 hours, but I had never done it before. My window went down fast and then stayed down. This part will break without notice and at the worst possible time, like during a summer rainstorm! The motor still made sounds, but it was crunchy and broken sounding. When I took the door apart like in the video, I saw the cable had broke, unwound and created a bird's nest inside the door. If it happens again (It's a Dodge, LOL!) it will be much faster. Note: Be prepared to buy some replacement body retainer parts. They break easy. I only needed the window regulator, not the motor. The parts stores sell them with or without the motor.

If your window drops to the bottom don’t fret, just remove the four big screws hold that on and take the back panel off without the regulator. This also makes it easier to remove the regulator from the window.

I watched 3 or 4 other videos along with yours and I consider yours to be the golden standard. I used yours (and only yours) as a reference while completing the project. I ran into a couple of snags along the way (my issues) but I figured them out and pulled it off. Could I have done the replacement without your video? Yes as others had covered it previously but not as well. To those reading this, skip the others and just use this video. TRQ will be my first stop next time--but I sure hope there isn't a next time! Thanks for your video!

After seeing the problems many were having on hooking up the lock I opted to not take the inner door totally off and it worked getting the regulator in. You saved this 64 year old woman on disability a small fortune to get my window back up and working again!

Video helped me get the window regulator replaced with only a few cuts and curse words. ;-) All worked well except for the express up feature was no longer working. Resetting the switch by holding down the power window button until the window was all the way down and holding it for five more seconds, then holding it up until the window was all the way up and holding it for five more seconds more did the trick.

If the regulator being replaced is broken, then it's not possible to use the switch to position the window vertically to get to the white plastic glass retainer things. They should probably explain the best way to do it without the aid of the motor.

The first rod is there Take a picture of the wire harness after you remove the panel. This helped me a lot when it was time to close everything up. power tools and bits are a plus.

@leelepkowski193 Жыл бұрын

This video is incredible thank you! The only thing that could improve is how to get the window back onto the clips. It is much easier to power the regulator up high enough to get your fingers on the back side of the clip and pull it open from the back, then the window drops easily down on the clip without struggling or screwdrivers. Similarly when taking the window off the old clips it’s probably easiest to pull the back of the clip with your gloved fingers - I didn’t realize this until after disassembly.
