Thanks for making this. HOWEVER, you can replace the motor with out removing the regulator. just take the bottom bolt out and loosening the two top bolts, INSTALLING A SAFETY BOLT THROUGH THE REGULATOR IN THE 1/2 WAY DOWN POSITION. then you can safely take the motor out and back in. NO MESSING WITH THE WINDOW.

Thank you.... I would not have tried this without this video. That’s not to say I am done though. Of course AFTER I took everything apart I saw the piece on bolting the spring down but no harm. Just a scare. The regulator was actually much easier to get out than I thought it would be. Found a NOS regulator on line ( the regulator gear was all worn down) and working up nerve and the proper time to put it back together. Thanks again for a great video. Oh, BTW.... please get a chick to do all the crouching down in the next video . Because you just can’t unsee a Norge man butt crack! LOL

Great job, I am starting mine tomorrow. Do the wheels that go in the vertical rails need to be started from the top of the rail tracks or bottom, or can they be put in anywhere along track??? Also there is a hole in the regulator gear mechanism for putting a bolt and nut through that locks mechanism in place to keep you from guillotining your fingers off if the sprung mechanism decides to let go during motor replacement on bench! Hope it helps! THANKS AGAIN , GREAT JOB!!!

when replacing the motor on the bench, do you pull the arm with the fan gear as far as it will go to match up with the gears on the motor? (looks like the gears connect at the very bottom of the fan gear) If you know what I mean. Thanks.

Great video. My both windows' motors work. The windows go up, then stop in the middle, kind of "slip" (grinding sound) for a few seconds and after struggling continue to go up almost all the way. The same when lowering the windows. Feels as if the teeth go off the wheel for a few seconds and then re-connect. Or perhaps there might be some teeth missing?? The motor "sounds" strong. Do you know what this could be? Thanks

A struggling motor is usually a dirty regulator. You need to go through the same process, but instead of swapping motors clean out the old grease and regrease the track. Your window will fly after that. Seriously - they move really fast when they're in good shape.
