replace window regulator

[ralphro]

Help!!! I'm trying to replace the right passenger door regulator. Removed doorpanel, rivets, steel panel, rivets at the bottom side of the regulator, the connection between the window and the regulator (glass window taped so it won't fall down) but am unable to get the regulator out!? Somehow it seems it is fixed at the metal bar?

Could somebody help me? I'm really desperate! Can't find any tutorial anywhere....

 

Thanks!

Looks like the window frame is still in the door.  The window frame/door subframe and door are actually two pieces and you have to remove the window frame out of the door. Once you have the subframe, out unscrew the window.  You'll need to drill out the 4 rivets holding the regulator.  See if you can access a heavy duty rivet gun like this one from Harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/hand-riveters/heavy-duty-17-1-2-half-inch-hand-riveter-with-collection-bottle-66422.html

Good advice above. You can also use self tapping metal screws if you don't want rivets.

Hi can I replace the cable without removing out of the door ?

[911nick]

Which cable are you referring to?

Hi I have a replacement regulator cable and need to know how it connects in the inside of the door without removing the door frame I took the old one out some months back

Is there a DIY tutorial on window regulator R&R?  Haven't been able to find a video or text.
