Thank You for walking me through this! Managed to do this all on a Sunday morning. Purchased plastic trim tool kit at Harbor Freight on Saturday and here it is noon on Sunday and I have a new motor in my 2009 350z. Took it slow and would pause video and complete that step and then come back in and watch the next process. Went exactly as you showed. Only thing I did was "snap" one of the 12mm bolts that hold the panel on the door. It was metal on metal but I got too aggressive on it. Left it in though. The plastic inserts I was gentle on, so no problem. Cellophane tape on socket helped with the bolt behind door handle for sure. If I rattle later on I'll know that it is the snapped 12mm bolt but I think it'll stay just fine. Door control did snap off piece of plastic, but it snapped back on and held just fine when re-assembled, so I'm assuming this is common and there are plenty of "snaps" to hold it. Took a couple times of resetting motor to get it to work correctly but just repeated till it was correct. It's done and I have a functioning window once again. Hat's off to a great video. Had your voice in my head walking me through it. Thumbs up!

This is quite possibly one of the best ‘how-to’ videos I’ve ever seen. I have an 05 350z touring coupe and the window motors work perfectly. I’m was watching just in case the day comes that I have to replace it. Thankyou so much for making this video. Even though I have no experience with working on cars I now feel like I can replace the motor with ease after just watching this video once. Quick question: do you know how long the motors actually last? And what are early signs that I need to look out for?
@GarageAntics
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! Prior to doing this myself, the videos I watched all left a few things out, so I wanted to make one that covered everything that I encountered. Unfortunately, it's one of those things that will eventually fail. It's a little daunting at first, but actually a pretty easy job, even for someone not used to working on cars. The lifespan of the motors can vary, especially with usage. I've owned my '03 Z since brand new, and this was the second replacement on the driver side motor, and the passenger side has been replaced once. So, I'd say with regular usage, they last roughly 5-6 years. Early signs are usually when the window doesn't open or close the first time you press the button. It could possibly mean that the window control switch has failed, but if it starts working again after you hit the interior door panel or open and close the door, it's a sure sign that it's the window motor and not the switch.

Pro tip: like he said, these go out ALL the time. I bought 2 online and replaced them myself, they last a few months, if lucky close to a year each but then you have to buy another one. So just spend the extra cash at your local autozone/o Reilly’s and get the warranty, you won’t have to pay for another one again just get it replaced through the warranty.

@@andreirvin6057 hey thanks! Sorry, I didn’t get to reply back until now, but it should be doable with the window down, . Having said that, if both of your windows stopped working at the same time, maybe check the door control panel first, could be a bad window switch. It would be extremely unlikely for both to go out first. Does the switch on the passenger door work? If so, then I’d say it’s your driver’s side control panel. You can just replace the entire panel.

You could probably get away with rolling the window down, but it's possible that the window may fall further into the door as you loosen the regulator and make adjustments. It's not too big of a deal, you can just raise it up by hand since the access panel is off.. I prefer to leave it up and apply tape since I know that as long as the tape stays in place and attached to the glass, everything will remain as I left it when the new motor has been installed.

I don’t really recommend trying to force it, you could risk damaging the glass or possibly messing up the regulator. Have you tried hitting the door panel like I did at the beginning of the video? That usually works a few times at the first sign of failure, as it breaks free some of the built up carbon that’s inside the motor. Or you can try hitting it after taking the interior panel off for better contact.
