Thanks for the video. You're a more patient man than me. I think I'll get my mechanic to sort this issue out for me!

Just completed this task with your guidance on my 2005. Mine was temperature sensitive, no-op when cold. So 40ish today window stuck at top. My solution: heat the motor a bit with propane torch! Wound right down to where I could access glass nuts. Like yours the glass wedged at top. Thank you for sharing your skills.

I watched your video, but I don't dare try to do it myself, I get anxious and surely wouldn't get it back together, lol! Great step by step video though, thanks!

Thanks for making this video. Hot tip for others to make sure the window isn’t in front of the track on the left side when you reasssemble!

I'll give it a go now that I watched your excellent video. 🙂 Not being able to drop the glass and remove the motor assembly was putting me off. I've only ever done window winder assemblies.

Your really good video helped me out a ton the only thing I did different if you see the Phillips head screw and take that out it allows you to remove the the trim on the outside of the window which makes it a lot easier to remove the whole window you can see the screw really well at 3 minutes and 45 but you must get the window to this point in order to get to the screw

If the window motor is stuck up, unbolt the regulator and youll be able to slide the glass down enough to get to the two nuts on the left. To get to the nut on the right, use a step bit to drill a hole the size of a 10mm socket, it wont hurt the structure of the door. However my big problem was the mounts in the glass were spinning so i had to reach behind and hold them with needle nose vise grips.

Bro, my window is stuck in the up and you edited out the special sauce to remove the unit from the door. I don't understand :( but thank you for the rest of the video.

Did you ever have to go back and lower the glass a little? Seems like it was a little rough closing the door. Mine is doing the same now and I'm trying to figure out how to adjust the height.

What window regulator would you recommend? I'm on rockauto

@scrapdaddysgarage5027 Жыл бұрын

I buy the part that has the lowest cost and the cheapest shipping. Alot of the parts out there are made in the same place, just boxed and branded differently. I try to save money. Thanks for watching!

You need to adjust the window regulator, loosen the hardware and move the pivot points around till you find the spot where it works properly

@scrapdaddysgarage5027 the pivot points of where the motor sits or do you mean something else because I'm having the same issue on my 2003 forester

@@inoriyuzuriha7543 when I replace my window regulator I didn’t put in the inside the rails that’s why it was pushing the window out. I fix that now it’s all good!

@mackue8913 I did at first and fixed it and it was still a little out but rocked the window a bit and it sorted itself some how
