![]() Just put the driver's side regulator back in the car and thought I'd share my experience to add to what others have said. I would say that the speed is on par with new vehicles. My windows have been reliable and quick for the last few months. Switches, wires, connectors, breaker and relays with the exception of the motors and regulators. Reproductions of this part go for $12- 30 per window. I had to whittle them down a bit with a utility knife, cost about $1.50 for all six. I replaced mine with 3 rubber stoppers that I bought at the local hardware store. I broke a couple of coffee cups and sent several other items off the edge of my bench.Īlmost forgot, when you open the motors look for the 3 rubber balls that sit between the motor and window gear. Make sure you clear off your bench when operating the motor and regulator. If someone know's a better way I'd be happy to hear it. Also, you'll need 12 volts to run the motors to seperate them from the regulator. Do your best to not make this a 2 week project or, like me, you'll forget how to put things back together. I believe, but am not certain, that one of my springs was put in backwards causing a slow window. They are intended to assist the motor in upward travel and will be under tension with the window in the down position. Take note of the position of the motor and regulator as you seperate them and also the position of the large assist spring. The manuals only provide general info for this kind of stuff. I can't stress enough how helpful a smart phone or digi camera will be with this procedure, also take notes or use a sharpie to mark position of things. Once you have the motor/regulator assembly out take pics as you are dismantling them. Once removed the reg and motor will come out of the largest hole. Then there's 3 bolts holding the motor/regulator. I can't remember for certain but I think you'll need to apply 12 volts to compress the regulator for removal. It's hard to explain but there's a large metal clip that needs to be spread out as you pull the rollers off, it's rather easy if you're doing it right. IIRC, first remove rollers that attach the window to the reg's. Us a piece of wood to hold the windows up, they will not stay up with the reg's removed and are heavy. ![]() Any help would be helpful at this point.The motor and window regulator come out as a unit. not sure if that would mess up anything on the regulator arms that attach to the bottom of the window frame or not. All felt in the channels has been updated and replaced, I assume that those are not to be lubed as they are felt? I have seen others suggest lithium grease in those channels? hopefully I can figure this out but I believe that the roller in the small track that is attached to the door was free and not engaged into the roller when I removed the old window. ![]() I have given up using the metal rollers as they bind ind the groves of the tracks even with lubricating they are not smooth sliding so went back to nylon rollers. ![]() Replaced window and having issues with adjustments, window goes half way and binds, have worked on pillar adjustments and regulator only issue I can see is the arm that aches to the small door glide seems like it may be causing some of the binding issue, can’t determine what that function is I assume it’s for the top left to right leveling at the top of the window, left side roller and regulator arm seem a little difficult to engage the pin of the regulator arm into the roller.
