Steps
Remove the door panel
Pry off the pull trim and remove its two 7 mm bolts. Release the panel clips, lift the panel away, disconnect the switch, and carefully peel back the water shield.
Free the glass and regulator
Lower the glass to reach its clamp nuts, unplug the motor, and release the glass from the clamps. Unclip the regulator cables, remove its retaining bolts, and guide it out through the door.
Install the new regulator
Hang the replacement regulator on its upper fastener and loosely fit the lower bolts. Clip the cables into their retainers, reconnect the motor, and lower the glass squarely into the clamps before tightening them.
Test and reassemble the door
Reconnect the switch temporarily and cycle the window to check smooth travel. Turn the ignition off, restore the water shield, route the harness through the panel, and reinstall the clips, bolts, and trim.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
