Steps
- Remove the rear door panel
Release the panel push pins and bottom screws, then remove the trim covers and exposed fasteners. Lift the panel clear of the lock, disconnect the latch rod and window-switch harness, and set the panel aside.
- Expose and loosen the window guide
Peel the water shield back carefully so it can be resealed. Release the inner window trim clips and loosen the guide fasteners enough to slide them out of the channel without dropping hardware inside the door.
- Install and adjust the replacement guide
Position the new guide in the original channel and reinstall its fasteners loosely. Move the glass through its travel to check alignment, then tighten the guide fasteners to specification and confirm the window moves without binding.
- Restore the water shield and door trim
Reinstall the inner window trim and press each clip into place. Reseal the water shield continuously, reconnect the latch and switch wiring, then hang the door panel and reinstall its screws and push pins.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
