This video documents steps I've taken to replace the front right passenger side window because it is not going up all the way, although it goes down all the way. The replacement part was less than $25, and it took 1.5 hours to complete the repair.
You can also use this video to replace the front speaker and front right passenger window.

You… my friend are a blessing! I just finished my broken window motor and everything you showed was 100% right on! My total cost was $ 20.00 and under two hours of my time. I can’t thank you enough for your time to film and edit this video. I am incredibly grateful for you!

PERFECT VIDEO- my 18yr old daughter and I did this project ON HER '04 Highlander the day before she left for college- (she supervised and operated the video). It took us a little over an hour, but we spent a while cleaning the metal regulator of all the grime and scaleing. Awsome video. I downloaded it, and will use it for her rear window motors replacement either this winter or next summer. Thank you for the great close ups- it helped ALOT!

Great to hear that you were able to do it.

@DIYLifeSkills you are a blessing! I watched this video about 3 weeks ago, ordered the same exact part from Amazon, watched the video a couple more times, and today I finally had the time to do it. Your detailed instructions made it so easy for me to get the job done. A #1 and #2 JIS crosspoint screwdriver is a perfect fit for the screws (learned it from replacing a steering switch for my 2005 Honda Odyssey). My 2002 Toyota Highlander front passenger window is working like new again. Thank you so much for the step by step video instructions that you put together. You are a very good teacher

Great to hear and thanks for screw driver #s.

Amazing.. I have the exact model and the same problem on the same window. Thank you for taking the time to make this very detailed video!

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

It’s pretty straightforward but be carful with the window.

@bobp4036 Год назад

Thanks for posting this, I just did the same thing at 14:46 and put the notch edge on the wrong side.

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

Great. I also did it wrong the first time and I had to look at my uninstallation video clips to figure it out.

@wyomikey65 11 месяцев назад

Wow....excellent video. Extremely detailed. Will be doing this job soon..

Hello, very helpful information, I am about to do mine sooner, and I will let you know how I did.

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

Yes hope it goes well.

Probably never gonna do this myself cause it's a little too complex for me, but I enjoy your videos a lot. I have to replace my front passenger door handle on my GS cause it doesn't recognize the touch and unlock automatically. If you have anything related to changing door handle, I'd love to try it out myself before going to a mechanic.

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

Let me have a look at that.

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

I forgot to reply back earlier. For GS350/350, once the battery is disconnected, one touch open and close setting is lost and you have to reset it. Here is a video on how to do that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mqLHEGA9uP0.html

If you were to do this again and purchase your own parts would you have done the whole assembly or just the motor?

@DIYLifeSkills Месяц назад

@@kakusei3672I’m not sure they sell just the motor. This replacement part was pretty cheap like under $30. I would replace the whole actuator like I did

@kakusei3672 Месяц назад

@@DIYLifeSkills In the video, you just swapped motors. You had mentioned someone gave you just the motor haha. The price of the motor is similar to the whole regulator with motor. Wondering if there's any benifit to keeping the oem regulator and just adding a new motor.

@DIYLifeSkills Месяц назад

@@kakusei3672 Yeah my immediate neighbor that sold me the car had already bought for like $28. I would replace this part. When you say “whole thing”, I’m not clear on what you are referring to. This actuator motor part is the only thing that breaks.

@kakusei3672 Месяц назад

@@DIYLifeSkills the arms that hold the window that the motor attaches to

@@kakusei3672 Ahh, I wouldn’t go that far. Arm had no issues.

@colddeadhand7414 Год назад

I had to replace my girlfriends pully system and motor on a 08 Expidition. I just taped the window up with gorilla tape and removed the pully system. I'm wondering if you could do that to avoid the risk of dropping the window and breaking it and just untaping it and lowering it and tightening the 10mm bolts when it's down.

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

Actually I think that’s a pretty good idea to not let glass slip on your hand.

@colddeadhand7414 Год назад

@DIY & Life Skills My mom's is going out on her Highlander and I think I just got volunteered for the job. Lol. Thanks for the upload!

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

@@colddeadhand7414 Lots of things to remove but they are mostly easy with follow the instructions closely.

@tjmasterbarber2664 Год назад

This is way too complex! Where are you located?

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

If you follow the steps in the video, it’s actually not difficult. It just looks complicated because you have to dissemble many parts but none are challenging to do. I’m in Houston suburbs.

@scooter12368 Год назад

why did you replace motor when it appears to work

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

It doesn’t work. Goes down but not come back up all the way all the time.

@scooter12368 Год назад

thanks for response. I have a dilema. I can't get access to the bolts on regulator to remove it. So any tips how to get access to the bolts since i can't lower the window? Would cutting the wires on the regulator allow the regulator to drop? @@DIYLifeSkills

@DIYLifeSkills Год назад

@@scooter12368 I think you might be able to lower the entire regulator and window if you remove five 10mm bolts shown in 7:38 time mark. If you do this, put a towel at the bottom inside the door panel so that regulator and windo doesn't suddenly drop down. Once you can lower the entire thing, you should be able to access the inside bolts.
