I would like to thank you, kind sir, for making this awesome video! I got a Tye brand window regulator from RockAuto for my 2001 Chevy Prizm (rebranded Toyota Corolla) and using your video, I was successfully able to replace the old window regulator with the new one. My window would only go down no more than a half inch and would only go up a little bit at a time. Thanks again!

I bought the Dorman brand from Parts Geek for about $53 plus tax. It fits her car just right and now the window works great. Now she doesn't have to drive around with the window closed in the heat of summer! Thank you!

Sparky. I did my testing with my cold cluster placed inside the refrigerator. Result: I could see same mileage from beginning of the year 114.376 plus 1 mile.... 114.377. i was able to take the picture I wanted before it disappeared but, it is useless because ... I was really expecting to see today's mileage to show to car technicians that were asking me what was the mileage of my car. In my second try, i took a pic of the mileage found in the first trip and also the second , leaving the first one in zero.... to test it tomorrow again and .... entertain myself with the cluster later when i finish with another situation. I just want to find the culprit resistor or else. Many thanks for being here, helping us and sharing with us. Take care of yourself.

It would save me $360 bucks but I don't want to cause additional problems and have it cost me more to repair what I tried to repair. 😂🤣😂

You just saved me over $500 on my 98 corolla on this repair with such a clear, detailed step-by-step and crisp instructions. One of the best instructional videos that I have seen in KZfaq! Kudos to you :) I did everything like you have shown in the video, however after successful replacement of my corolla's window regulator and putting the door panel back on, I noticed the wiring harness keeps pushing out the window control unit out of the slot. I think the tabs that keep the window control might be broken, so the window control keeps popping up and never stays put. Any ideas how to secure it in place? BTW, I used zip ties on the wiring harness bundle inside the window control to try and push the wiring harness down, so it won't keep pushing the window control out, however it is just not working out. Now, I am just thinking of using a duct tape and secure the window control to the door panel, but it will look ugly..:) Thanks in advance!!

Sparky. Thank you for your contact. I really have no knowledge to use my voltmeter except ... the 12 volts I expect to see from my battery! I laugh at myself for wanting to do things without first reading instructions. Regarding finding cracked soldering connections i guess it is easier.... because it is a visual thing that you can detect.... I am an elderly here that wishes to come back more intelligent in the next life.... i will see if I find some electrician that can check the cluster odometer /speedometer for power although at night all its lights are on, but during the day .... i do not remember now if some lights come on? The temperature does show up. the needle of the fuel still works. The stop pin of the speedometer at zero m/h I already broke it! :-) I have to glue it back on!

Well, bless you! I know it can be tough to keep the Corola running but it sounds like you have a really good attitude! Another idea would be to check a junk yard for the new parts that you need. They might even agree to install the part for a fee.

My 2000 Corolla drivers side window regulator needs to be replaced. My mechanic said it will cost $400. This video makes it look so simple to do myself and the part from Amazon is only $39.98. I've read all the comments from men who have successfully replaced it, but I'm a female and curious if any females have successfully accomplished this task. I just changed my inside door handle, but that was really simple.

Great in depth guide. I bought a motor to replace my rear passenger side regulator motor 3 or so years back, but got lazy and never installed it. My drivers side front window was acting up(when in the all the way down position didn't want to go back up once and a while), so I may install the rear one for practice since the right and left side motors are not interchangeable. Would also be a good test to see if the motor alone will fix it or if I should get the entire assembly next time. I've just been avoiding using the rear passenger side window, but if the front drivers side went out I'd fix immediately.

@@SparkyChannel I couldn't seem to find where to unattach the window; I even felt around with my hands and couldn't figure it out. Rear seems to be different than the front. The window still goes up and down, it just gets lazy towards the top and needs a several minute break to go up a bit more(repeat a few times) and then it's up all the way again. Oh well, guess I'll look into it another time.

Thank you very much for your video. I completed this job recently, with the help of your video, and the window regulator now works great. I recently ran into an issue where the window moves freely up and down, but seems to grab onto and folds down the wiper type seal on the interior bottom side of the window. Are there any adjustments that can be made to align the window centered in the path to prevent this? I'm afraid it's going to destroy the seal over time.

So jokes on me. I got the motor replaced and got the regulator back in, but in the process I discovered one of the two plastic pieces that hold the window in had long ago broken and now I only have one of the two to reattach. It's also labor day; so the local pick a part is closed so I can't go over with my tools and grab another window that has both plastic attachments unbroken. Oh well, guess I'll have to finish it tomorrow, for now I have the window attached on the one side and I'll just keep it in the closed position. Thanks for the video guide. I guess it'll work alright with only one mount attached, but I need a few things from the pick a part anyways. A door panel would be nice since my drivers side one is falling apart, and a couple of other things. My rear passenger side has had the same issue for years, I just use it less so didn't care as much. But looking at the window I'm not sure how to get it out to then take the regulator out. It's just held in pretty securely by a rubber channel. Now my rear window is stuck down because I figured it would be simple and I'd fix it while I was at it........
