350Z Repairs - How to Replace a Power Window Motor on a Nissan 350Z /Infiniti G35 Coupe 

I was dreading doing this job until I found your video. Your instructions were clear and you showed each step up close. Thanks for saving me money.

Just finished the passenger side with your help…THANK YOU! Also found out the shop I paid years ago to fix another window issue left out (3) 10mm bolts ……. Sigh…..

Nice line of Z’s man thanks for helping a fellow enthusiast!

One of the best how to do videos I’ve watched. Thank you for being so thorough.

Just replaced switch and motor after mechanic quoted me $1150! Bought the parts off Amazon for $50 and an hour of my time and everything works great now. Bless you for thus video

This is absolutely the BEST video I have seen .... I had diagnosed the problem as being the control switch on the door but didn't have a clue how to remove the trim piece holding the switches...found the answer about 2.30 minutes in and followed the how to....in less than 10 minutes I replaced my switch assembly and everything works. Couldn't be happier!

Thank You for walking me through this! Managed to do this all on a Sunday morning. Purchased plastic trim tool kit at Harbor Freight on Saturday and here it is noon on Sunday and I have a new motor in my 2009 350z. Took it slow and would pause video and complete that step and then come back in and watch the next process. Went exactly as you showed. Only thing I did was "snap" one of the 12mm bolts that hold the panel on the door. It was metal on metal but I got too aggressive on it. Left it in though. The plastic inserts I was gentle on, so no problem. Cellophane tape on socket helped with the bolt behind door handle for sure. If I rattle later on I'll know that it is the snapped 12mm bolt but I think it'll stay just fine. Door control did snap off piece of plastic, but it snapped back on and held just fine when re-assembled, so I'm assuming this is common and there are plenty of "snaps" to hold it. Took a couple times of resetting motor to get it to work correctly but just repeated till it was correct. It's done and I have a functioning window once again. Hat's off to a great video. Had your voice in my head walking me through it. Thumbs up!

Now this is how you do a step by step Video. Very well informed. Thanks for the video

Well done sir, thank you! Appreciate the thoroughness of the video. However I did purchase a $125 dollar motor with a 10 year warranty, hoping it will last a little longer and if it fails I'll get a free replacement.

Just did my window not bad at all!! Thanks again for a great video!!

Thank you, brother! Your video helped me a lot... A WHOLE LOT. Keep up the great work.and have fun in that dope garage. Karl

Thanks! You have the only video that didn’t skip steps or have a weird angle!

Ok so I knew how to do it but ever done it I knew how to do it cause I took my motor off from a z at pick a part just wanted to see it done and ya I had to subscribe cause I liked this video it was helpful this guys knows what he’s doing and this video was helpful

You are awesome! What a great job explaining how to do this. Thank you so much!

Perfect video! Thank you for posting. 😊👍🏾

ur a life saver my man

Thank you for this in depth video. Just finished and my window finally works!

Great job, well explained….thanks.

Thank you for the step by step. Finally took my car out of storage after two years and this was the first thing I fixed!

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff, Dude! Thanks for the help!

Excellent Video - Thanks

Just finished the install. Your video was awesome. The window stopped in the down position so that made it much harder to do, but everything still went great because of your help!!

I appreciate the detail!

Thanks for the video, was able to install a new motor from amazon finally.

Great explanation, thanks

Thanks this helped me a lot

Great detailed instructions, thank you for this video.

Great video! I appreciate you not rambling on about things that are not part of the problem. You are direct and explain the process very well. One thing to add is the regulator adjustment ( window) drags at the top ). Hopefully I can find that with another google search.

will try on my 06 350z , gonna use the aftermarket one , thanks for the guide!

Man thank you so much for this video. Out of all the videos on this topic, yours was the best. Both my windows are working like they should now.

great video! Many of the other videos addressing this issue skip past the door panel removal process. I have a passenger-side window issue and the dealer wanted $375 for the motor...$675 for the motor and installation. The local auto parts chain store had a price of $156 for the motor. I watch your video, bought the panel tool kit from the auto parts store for $20...the part recommended/linked on Amazon for $33. All-in for $53 and an afternoon of my time! Thanks for posting this!

Amazing brother, thanks for making this video💪🏾💫

Love this video. Even though my steering wheel is on the right it had all the info I needed to get the job done. 👍🏻

Best video for this on RU-vid!

Thanks 4 the video brotha impeccable instructions. Best 1 I seen. Thanks!!

this is probably the best guide out on the internet so far that i have seen i am about to install mine following your steps

Just did my passenger window, very thoroughly explained help me saved $150 dollars 💵 awesome video 👍

just changed out my driver side motor. i also forgot to do the reset. thankfully everything works. thank you for the walkthrough!

My respect 🙏 you is very expert, congratulations 👍👏👏

Agreed 👍 good lighting, good distance from camera each time with what your suppose to be unbolting, procedure and All the info tips with no bullcrap... good luck with finding that combo out of the other videos, you'll need it

Thanks! Great video

didnt reset it but still rolls up fine, thanks for the help!

Great video and help. I have already replaced the passenger side motor a number of years ago. Now the driver's side on a 2006.5 Touring has gone out. For some parts, that ".5" makes a difference on parts - mainly engine components. Thanks for a great video! Like the orange Z in the background, too!

thanks for this i will try it myself on 08 model

Pro tip: like he said, these go out ALL the time. I bought 2 online and replaced them myself, they last a few months, if lucky close to a year each but then you have to buy another one. So just spend the extra cash at your local autozone/o Reilly’s and get the warranty, you won’t have to pay for another one again just get it replaced through the warranty.

This is quite possibly one of the best ‘how-to’ videos I’ve ever seen. I have an 05 350z touring coupe and the window motors work perfectly. I’m was watching just in case the day comes that I have to replace it. Thankyou so much for making this video. Even though I have no experience with working on cars I now feel like I can replace the motor with ease after just watching this video once. Quick question: do you know how long the motors actually last? And what are early signs that I need to look out for?

So you mentioned adjusting the bolts on the regulator which bolts would those be cause I definitely have a lot of resistance and I recently got new regulators and a new motor

Great video man, what if your window is stuck in the down position? Do I do anything different.

Mine is about to go out...Thanks..

I hope you can see this but i’m stuck at the part to put the new one in and turn to adjust & align but it is not adjusting it’s hard. should it be this hard???

Does the window roll down a bit when you open the door on the aftermarket part?

Maybe i come here a little late, what motor you got and where did u get it? Thanks man

My driver side window is down and I cannot get it back up (bad motor). Having the window down to start the motor replacement does that change anything? Maybe with resetting the window? Great video. Very informative. Thanks for the effort.

Do I need to have the window up when replacing the motor , mine is stuck down how does that work

You inspired me to change my motors myself and not pay someone bro thanks

What if my window is stuck down? Will I still be able to change it with ease on my passenger side?

Can I just roll the window down and leave it like that? Or do I have to tape it?

Just stumbled across your channel. Looks like I am late to the game and you may have stepped away from making new content. I dig your garage collection. I see TX plates. Where are you located? I'm in the DFW area myself. -Chris

My window is stuck down and I’m 6 hours away from home, is it possible for me to open the door panel and just try to force the window to stay up?? Or will it just fall without the motor working ??

What's the procedure when the window is already down and won't roll up and you have to replace the motor?

The inside of my 05 350z(enthusiast) , looked nothing like this. I didn't have to remove steel plate and it had a hell of a lot more screws lined up vertically. Doing the job wasn't that easy.

Prob help a lot of people if you actually showed the reinstall part instead of talking about it.

Just followed your guide/advices today..thanks!
