one, two, three, four!
Rev up your engines!
It's time for the Scotty Kilmer Channel
it's happened to all of us, are electric windows just fell
down or won't go up anymore, and when we
pulling a switch, you just get a bunch of
funky noises, well that usually means
that your window regulator assembly has gone bad, so I'm going to show you how to
fix it,
so first we have to take the inner door
panel off, all the clips and screws, this
piece just snaps off, the little door
edge here, there's a screw, you unscrew it,
then the whole assembly just pops out of
the way, then you unplug all the
electrical connections and get it out of
the way, then unscrew the handle plastic
assembly here, now these can be real stickers
but once you pull them in the wedge them,
they come out of the way, and there's a
clip here you take off to get the whole
handle off, you snap it off then the
handle comes off, then you just grab the
side of the door and it unsnaps, then you
just put it out of the way, and you got
the whole door here, then when you pull
this plastic liner off, the bolts that
hold the regulator assembly are all here
now since we can hear that disassembly
broken, it's a good idea to have the
replacement one in hand, then you can see where all the bolts are that hold it in
place, and you'll know which bolts to take
off, in this case we'll start with the
motor bolts that are right here, and in
this case there isn't much room so we're
going to take the speaker out of the way,
then we can reach inside and get to the
bolt to hold the glass in place, because
once you get those two bolts out on the
inside, you can slide the glass out of
the way and remove the assembly, just
slide the glass out the top and put it to
the side, then you take the bolts that
hold the regulator assembly off, there's four of them, then you can slide the whole
assembly out, you have to wiggle the heck out of it, but it will come out, and as you can see the
ends are made out of plastic, they
just snap and you throw them away and
replace the whole thing, then you slide
your assembly in,
and line up the holes and tighten them up, and slide the motor in place and bolt it on,
then plug the motor electrical
connection in, then we get the glass and
slide it in so we can bolt this onto
the assembly, then we get the glass and
slide it back in on the run, it will sit
right on the bottom where the bolts hold
it on, this is always the fun part, but you
can see if you wiggle your fingers, you
can get the bolt on here and tighten it
up, to hold the glass in place, here's a
trick I learned years ago, just plug in
the switch, turn the key on and make sure
it works before you put it all back
together again, well it's working good we
got lucky, then of course you push the
plastic sheet on, it's got glue on it,
put the door panel back on, just slides
in place, then the snaps snap back in and you
put a couple of screws back on, put the
door handle clip back on, snap it in
place and stick that on, and screw it in
place, then snap the electronics on the
switch assembly, and put it in place and
screw it in here, and then you're done,
so the next time here power windows
break, why not fix them yourself, and remember, if you have
any car question just visit the Scotty
Kilmer channel and I'll answer them as
soon as I'm done ringing this Bell!
