The Reason the window was partially down is because when the door is open, it lowers the window slightly. When you close the door, it closes the rest of the way, You probably had it right the first time it was in
Just did this on my new/used Z, turns out that the window setting trick he's talking about works. After the install it would go all the way up then half way down. So to reset it -- Put the window all the way down and hold the button for ten seconds, then up for ten, and suddenly it began to work.
You just saved me $1150!! Mechanic said parts $700 labor $400+tax. I bought the parts off Amazon for $50 and took less than an hour of my time, thanks to your video... God bless you brother
Thanks for this video saved me heaps. Appreciate this by adding to the Z body:) Especially the sizing screws for the motor. Save me indeed stripping them!!
I just performed the removal and replacement of the window motor for my 2005 350Z; thank goodness everything works like a charm after reassembly; I purchased the part from Amazon for $40 USD; I had to find another way around the dealership, who tried to charge me $1300 USD for this job; thanks for saving me by posting this vid!!!!
with the door card off theres a relearn button on the window motor you need to hold down while using the window switch (not auto function) to take it all the way down then raise it up and release both buttons, you need to do this with the door closed.
For taking the motor off the bracket use an impact drill, #3 Philips will work. I used a #2 philips on my Impact Drill it worked just fine. Screws are tight from the factory.
Resetting After installing each component to the vehicle, follow the steps below. 1. With the door open, lift up and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully closed. 2. Get inside the vehicle and close the door. You need to close the door so the door switch is fully depressed. 3. Press and hold the reset switch. While holding the reset switch, press down and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully opened. 4. Release the reset switch.Then, lift up and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully closed. 5. Open the door to release the door switch. The door glass should partially move down.
The screw/bolt that sits behind the door handle, what size/length is it? I need to replace it as my 350z came without it (and I'm about to attempt to switch out this motor). Thanks for the help.
I felt so bad that he didn't know the window goes all the way up when the door shuts but I think he bought the car without the window working, great video though because I have to change mine today,. Obrigado!
No one shows or tells you how hard it is to put the metal cover, that the motor and regulator mounts to, back on. That was the hardest part for me. You need four hands and two of them need to be alien skinny.
Thes RU-vid dudes always do that bs. They make everything seem like it’s super easy by cutting out all the difficult parts that’s why RU-vid machanics get laughed at😂
Hey all I am in the process of replacing, well, reinstalling my window motor because it two of the three bolts and backed out and the motor was so loose it had started skip and strip the 3/8" drive. The problem is I cannot get the motor drive to turn in order to align it to the window regulator hole. I tried turning the motor by hand and the regulator with an extension but neither budge. Should I just replace my window regulator or is there a way to align the two? Thanks in advance.
I was about to say same thing but others beat me to it. The window is down to prevent damages to the spoiler. When the door is closed it goes all the way up
Broski, the motor comes with a small black RESET button, look up the instructions on how to reset it, that's why your window gets stuck sometimes. I learned the hard way; bought a cheap motor from amazon as well, and it didn't come with the reset button
It should be relatively similar. I grabbed a used g35 4dr window motor for my passenger side and the only thing that was different was 1 mounting hole of the motor. But the other 2 holes lined up and the motor seemed secure. I haven't had any problems with it.
