Rear window regulator replacement
Rear power window regulator
To start first remove the door handle Bezel with a flat screwdriver.
Next guide the inside door handle through the opening in the door handle bezel.
Now its time for the door trim, use a fork type tool to pry out the trim retainers.
Becarful not to pry against the trim as it will punture. There are seven retainers.
Pull on the armrest hard to unlock the pull cup retainers. Rock the door trim panel (1) upwards, starting at the rear, while lifting upwards to remove. Disconnect the door trim panel wiring harness.
Now is a good time to remove the armrest pull cup retainers from the inside of the door trim panel.
Use needle nose pliers to compress the 360 clip. Pull the 360 clip out of the nylon nut on the door trim panel.
Install the 360 clip to the nylon nuts on the inner door panel by sliding the 360 clip down into the grooves in the nylon nuts.
You can now remove the Door control
Remove the door control module fasteners. Remove the door control module.
Now you can remove the water deflector, much the same as the door trim.
Remove the push in retainers at the upper corners of the water deflector. Push the wiring harness through the slit in the water deflector. Carefully peel the water deflector away from the door, being careful not to damage the sealing strip.
Here is the window regulator, by now youve got about 25 minutes in this already.
To remove loosen the window retainer to window clamp fasteners 4 revolutions. Lower the window regulator about half way down. Disconnect the electrical connector from the power window motor. Remove the window regulator to inner door panel fasteners (1, 2, 3). Tilt the motor end of the window regulator to the forward end of the door. Tilt the top of the regulator toward the lower rear corner of the door. Remove the regulator through the front access hole in the door panel.
To install just run this prodedure in reverse and dont forget to tighten the glass back up.
