Window Lift Motor

Post by MarineGunny »

I just found this website today while searching for help. Great forum! Wish I'd found it years ago!

I am attempting to replace the window lift motor on my driver side door. I got the old one out and cannot for the life of me get the new one in. I cannot get the rollers to slide in to the rails.

I am at my wits end with this one! Can anyone please give me some advice on how to fix this one???

Do not attempt to service the regulator motor without releasing the counterbalance spring tension. The regulator lift arm is under tension from the counterbalance spring and can cause personal injury if the motor is removed from the regulator.

1. Remove the window regulator.
2. Drill a hole through the window regulator and the sector gear.
3. Install a bolt and a nut through the hole in order to lock the sector gear in position.
4. Drill out the rivets that secure the power window motor to the window regulator.
5. Remove the power window motor from the window regulator.

Installation Procedure

1. Install the power window motor to the window regulator.

Important
Remove the nut and the bolt that were used in order to secure the sector gear in position.
