Steps
Remove the door panel
Pry off the handle trim and remove the handle and lower panel screws. Lift the panel away, disconnect the latch cable and switch harness, then peel back the water shield.
Secure the glass and remove the regulator
Unplug the motor and remove four regulator bolts, leaving one loose to support the assembly. Lower the glass by hand, loosen its two mounting bolts, separate it from the regulator, then raise and tape it securely.
Install the new regulator
Feed the replacement into the door and loosely hang it on its mounting bolts. Tighten the fasteners, reconnect the motor, remove the tape, lower the glass into the track, and secure its bolts.
Test the window and reassemble
Reconnect the switch temporarily and cycle the window to confirm smooth travel. Restore the water shield, reconnect the latch cable and switch, then refit the door panel screws, clips, and trim.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
