Difficulty: Intermediate · About 80 min · Dodge Durango

Replace a power window regulator on a 2004–2006 Dodge Durango and secure the glass before removing the regulator from the door.

Steps

1. Remove the door panel and speaker

   Lift the switch panel and unplug its connectors, remove the handle and lower panel screws, and lift the panel clear. Release the lock rod, remove the speaker screws, unplug its lead, and peel the water shield back carefully.

2. Hold the glass and remove the regulator

   Loosen the glass fasteners, raise the window by hand, and secure it to the frame with painter's tape. Remove the regulator and track fasteners, disconnect the motor as needed, and maneuver the regulator out through the access opening.

3. Install and connect the new regulator

   Feed the replacement regulator into the door, start its mounting bolts, and reconnect the motor. Lower the glass onto the regulator mounts, reinstall the glass fasteners, and tighten all hardware to the vehicle specification.

4. Reassemble and test the window

   Remove the tape only after the glass is secured, then test window movement before installing the panel. Restore the water shield and speaker, reconnect the lock rod and door wiring, and reinstall the panel, screws, and switch trim.

Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
