Your door has hit the seatbelt almost as many times as mine! Thank you for this video!

And remember if the video was 15 mins then the job is 15 mins

Great video. Followed you step by step. Cleaned everything, including the motor (which was a pain in the ass to assemble again, so much tension on the cables). Going from a window that didn't move anymore to a opening time of 2.44 and a closing time of 3.17. Thank you very much. Had a great weekend doing this 😀

When the window is stuck up, you can reach all bolts with a small 10mm wrench. You have to unscew most other bolts first of the whole window assembly (including the guides and motor) to remove the last upper right screw holding the window. This screw will come into contact with the doorframe while unscrewing so it takes a lot of effort to get out. After removing all bolts, I used a plier while pushing on the window to get the last bolt out because my wrench didnt fit anymore.

did mine today, did the first one with the video and it took me a bit because i like to tripple check stuff but the second one took me about 20 minutes. thnx for the tutorial

If you are having trouble getting the motor to go past the front bar that holds the stationary window in place, there is a bolt at the bottom of that post that faces in, not towards the bottom of the door. I could not get the motor back in place without loosening that bolt on my 1990 Miata. And thank you! This is the best video out there on how to fix this issue :)

Excellent! Thank you for the tutorial. I needed a few tips since I’m completely rebuilding the drivers side door on an NB2. I found the speaker removal unnecessary but understand it could help push from behind on the window motor assembly. Thanks!

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Sorted mine today and this really helped

Outstanding video and commentary - even the calming music is solid. It’s crazy - I have no issue diving into motor and Trans work but windows are one of the few things that I’ve steered clear of for years. Your video was spot on and I knocked out both windows in short order. I did order the ShinEtsu - worked great. Thanks for the video!!!

I just also wanted to say thank you for this video. I just finished my driver’s side today on my 10AE. I had only a few things that were different but easy to figure out. I did not have a metal plate next to the speaker and I had an extra screw in the door handle. My speaker also did not easily come out but I left it in and everything still worked.

Outstanding video and commentary thank you so much !!!

I would love 4 seconds for rollup and down since my driver side gets stuck. Haha. Doing it this weekend. Wish me luck.

Another very helpful straightforward video. Thanks!

Thanks, great video, windows are working as new.

very detailed instructions. Thanks!

Thanks so much , very helpful!!

Awesome video, video editing is on point

Thanks for putting this together; been putting off repairs on a jammed window and this covered just about everything I wanted to know before diving into the project!

Excellent video! I liked the music too :)

If you're window is stuck at an awkward height, then there is an option of cutting/bustting the cables that raise/lower the wndow - but only if you're replacing the whole regulator. I had to do this, mine went about 30mins before dark with the window only 1/2 way up, door card loosened but not off, foottered about in the holes and could tell the cable was frayed and near to breaking, couple of tugs by hand it it snapped, I could then pull/push the window up/down by hand. Stayed like that for about 6-8weeks - cold and wet hear and I've no garage - also caught covid and was in hospital for a week with it (still not 100%) so had to wait till it was warmer and dry to do this job at the kerbside.

Well done

Just a quick warning, Don't use Windex or any other ammonia based cleaner for tinted windows, unless you want them to turn purple. Speedy Garage showed using some, but applied it only to the opposite side of the glass from the tinting.

Saviour! Thank you!

Thank you thank you!

Great job

With the window fully up, is it necessary to remove the window, guide rails, and window retainer clips, if you just want to change the regulator and motor?

What are the wires you disconnected for? Trying to swap my regulator and motor for a new one and it seems me or my dad misplaced the cables somewhere and the new one didn’t come with any lol

I'm looking at a miata and the window goes up then falls back down is this the problem?

Has anyone had this problem? Replacing a combination Motor/Regulator. But the window stops before reaching the top! you have to open the door, hold the button up and pull the window to close it! History: I guess a cable cracked (I heard it) and ordered a replacement for the Miata's Drivers side power window. Unfortunately the glass cracked and I had to wait for replacement glass. So today they seemed to be taking a long time and I asked what the problem was. The mechanic said it was stopping (first slowing down) as it approached the top. I saw someplace else online about it having to "relearn" and holding it to open for an extra 2 to 5 seconds and then closing it and holding the button for an extra 2 to 5 seconds. It actually made it worse?? Any advice?

Great video! Would it be safe to assume the passenger side is the same? That's the one I'm about to do. Thanks!

nice

Hi, this video is definitely gonna help. But first I'm afraid I have to ask for free advice. 3 years ago my driver's side window on my 2002 NB started getting stuck about 3-4 inches down. I brought it to a crappy garage who said I needed a new window motor. So I replaced that and it worked for maybe a day until it started sticking again. (btw, I had the old motor tested and it wasn't broken at all). Long story short, I found when I added pressure pushing down as I opened the window and got it past that point it would finish opening. Someone in a Firestone said it was probably the regulator. I've been dealing with this for three years and am now forcing myself to confront the issue. Do you have any insight on what to expect to see when I pull the door panel off? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

The razor blade was probably dropped by someone who was tinting the windows

Can anyone highlight the differences between the process of doing this for an NB vs an NA? I have a 1995 NA8. I believe this video if working on an NB, and a few things just look slightly different (like removing the door card). Any insight will be helpful as I plan to do this myself next week! :)

How do you undo the bolts of the window doesn’t go down?

Covers everything except changing the window motor. Great video

In real time, how long did this take to do from start to finish? The regulators need to be replaced in both doors of my NB.
