What a great video! I was able to get this done in about 3.5 hours. Step by step in great detail really helped a lot. Now my wife is impressed and I'm proud of my work instead of taking it in. Thanks so much!

@treygrogan13 3 года назад

I work on stuff like this for a living. These rigid plastic inner door panels with all the door components connected are a brain dead engineering design

@FullmetalDragon1212 Год назад

they would be alright if, all the components were in the panel including lights / switches etc. , and the bloody harness had a single main plug you could take off.... why do we have to unplug 20 bloody things.. not to mention screw with our hinge alignment.. thats insane.

@halfisher3598 2 года назад

If your window drops to the bottom don’t fret, just remove the four big screws hold that on and take the back panel off without the regulator. This also makes it easier to remove the regulator from the window.

@notruss1 2 года назад

Thank You! I would have never attempted the repair without this video and it probably saved me over $500 at a shop. It took me over 4 hours, but I had never done it before. My window went down fast and then stayed down. This part will break without notice and at the worst possible time, like during a summer rainstorm! The motor still made sounds, but it was crunchy and broken sounding. When I took the door apart like in the video, I saw the cable had broke, unwound and created a bird's nest inside the door. If it happens again (It's a Dodge, LOL!) it will be much faster. Note: Be prepared to buy some replacement body retainer parts. They break easy. I only needed the window regulator, not the motor. The parts stores sell them with or without the motor.

@Hemidakota Год назад

Same issue here. Thanks for the heads up.

@weshardin7014 4 года назад

I watched 3 or 4 other videos along with yours and I consider yours to be the golden standard. I used yours (and only yours) as a reference while completing the project. I ran into a couple of snags along the way (my issues) but I figured them out and pulled it off. Could I have done the replacement without your video? Yes as others had covered it previously but not as well. To those reading this, skip the others and just use this video. TRQ will be my first stop next time--but I sure hope there isn't a next time! Thanks for your video!

@sgtheath1 3 года назад

One of the best walkthrough videos that I have seen.

@clayjennings17 3 года назад

Awesome video. Very accurate, took me about 2.5hrs (start to finish). Recommend buying some extra door molding clips as they might break.

@ShelleyVideo 2 года назад

If the regulator being replaced is broken, then it's not possible to use the switch to position the window vertically to get to the white plastic glass retainer things. They should probably explain the best way to do it without the aid of the motor.

@benkottke1226 2 месяца назад

Excellent video! Took me about 3 hours, but without this video it would taken me days, then hire it done. Thank you!!!!

@joevignolor4u949 2 года назад

So what if the reason that you are replacing the regulator is that the window is stuck all the way down and it won't come up half way. Then what do you do?

@victoriascheffler1047 3 месяца назад

I am so thrilled to have found this video. Watched it three times before attempting job, then watched it throughout doing the job. Finished in two hours, needed hands from husband to help with getting window in new regulator clips. Girl power! 😊 Thank you!

@magross335 7 месяцев назад

It took me (a girl with little to no mechanical skills 😂) about 3 hours to do and 80% on my own. I needed an extra set of hands getting the window off and then back onto the clips but did everything else! Thank you for making your videos so straightforward! 💪

I used this video to guide me in replacing the drivers side regulator on our 2011 Town & Country today after seeing another video that convinced me I didn’t want to do the job. So glad I found your video, very well done, very complete and just enough detail on the important points. Thank you so much. This video saved me $300-400 in repair costs and several days without my wife’s minivan.

@judyjones475 2 месяца назад

Thank you! I watched 4 videos on how to do this and yours was by far the best. After seeing the problems many were having on hooking up the lock I opted to not take the inner door totally off and it worked getting the regulator in. You saved this 64 year old woman on disability a small fortune to get my window back up and working again!

Great video! Easy to follow. The only issue I ran into was getting the window on the clips. I found a separate video that said to push down and hard on the window to get both clips connected at the same time. I took the gamble and it paid off.

Just wanted to echo what everyone else said. Great video! Our garage couldn't get to it for several days, which meant our van's window was stuck in the down position until then. Thanks to your instructions I was able to do it myself the next day, and probably saved $300. Much appreciated!

@marcmandin 2 года назад

Great video. Just got done replacing the regulator in my wife’s van. Only one part of the video that didn’t make sense to me. If the regulator is bad how did get the window to roll up? Mine wouldn’t work at all. Had to manually push the window up in place and have someone hold it while I undid the white clamps.

@__tim 4 года назад

Video helped me get the window regulator replaced with only a few cuts and curse words. ;-) All worked well except for the express up feature was no longer working. Resetting the switch by holding down the power window button until the window was all the way down and holding it for five more seconds, then holding it up until the window was all the way up and holding it for five more seconds more did the trick.

@davidstewart4394 4 года назад

The secret for auto function is: With door CLOSED, run window up until it stops and Hold switch in up position for approximately 10 seconds. Should reset.

Thanks for the video. I've done two of these (drivers and passengers) on a 2009 Grand Caravan. In both cases the cable end pulled out of the white plastic window support block. I found supporting the trim panel and the inner motor/regulator panel with a jack stand helped a lot while I disconnected the lock rods & wiring plugs.

@leelepkowski193 Год назад

This video is incredible thank you! The only thing that could improve is how to get the window back onto the clips. It is much easier to power the regulator up high enough to get your fingers on the back side of the clip and pull it open from the back, then the window drops easily down on the clip without struggling or screwdrivers. Similarly when taking the window off the old clips it’s probably easiest to pull the back of the clip with your gloved fingers - I didn’t realize this until after disassembly.

@danhernandez8443 9 месяцев назад

Great video, watched it twice and then went and bought the regulator w/o motor for $60 and trim/torque tools for $60. 3 hrs later I was done and I saved over $300 compared to what Firestone shop wanted to charge me. The longest part was getting that little rod back in for the outside door handle mechanism, what a pain to get that in when you can't see it and can only feel for it.

@theroaman8759 11 месяцев назад

My issue was on the passenger side door so Keep in mind there is no lower rod or cylinder lock rod due to it being the passenger door 😅😅 5:40... The first rod is there Take a picture of the wire harness after you remove the panel. This helped me a lot when it was time to close everything up. power tools and bits are a plus.

@adamconnery7471 2 года назад

This was a great video…My window was stuck down and I could not move it until I removed the window motor..once the motor was removed I was able to untangle the rats nest of cable preventing me from pulling the window up..I also had some trouble getting the tabs back into the window so I lubricated the clips and window with dish soap and plugged the controls back in and the window slid into the clips very easy

@janiekl1956 Год назад

Thank you for the video. We have a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. We just replaced the window regulator (driver's side). Seems it goes bad on average about once a year. A few years ago we had (LOTS of) problems with the TIPM including the windows randomly rolling down when the key isn't in it. That said, we're wondering if there is some sort of reset on the window when you replace the regulator, i.e. might the consistent breaking of the regulator possibly be related to the TIPM? Is it possibly the regulator motor? Thank you so much.

@hotrod4x5 3 года назад

Great video. I’ve changed window regulators on older vehicles and I never had to remove so much stuff. Dodge engineers should be $hot. So now that I have it back together, when the window auto closes and hits the top, it starts going back down. Any ideas? I can manually inch it up, and just stop right when it touches, and then it won’t go back down, but if I hold it down and have it go all the way up, as soon as it hits it comes back down on its own. Not a free fall, it’s like when the garage door opener hit someone or some thing and goes back up. Is there an upper limit adjustment on this thing? Edit: Google to the rescue, I just had to reset the upper and lower limits by holding the button in place after rolling it up and then rolling it down. Thanks again for the great video. No way I would’ve figured this out without your help.
