If Window Won't Roll UP Here's The Simple Fix!!
Car Window Won't Roll Up.
Truck Window Won't Roll Up.
How To Fix A Window Regulator.
#WindowRegulator #WindowMotor #CarWindow
In this video I show how I fixed a window that wouldn't roll up anymore. Although the vehicle featured in this video is a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, the process should be similar for most vehicles whether a car or truck. The window regulator I used for my truck is the Dorman 741-579.

I replaced the regulator on our 02 suburban and 04 duramax. Hardest part was cleaning the dump truck load of dirt and crap out of the doors. Nice job! And you have a lovely assistant.

You're a beast, Jimmy! Thank you for posting this. This is a job every burb owner will eventually have to do lol.

@billbailey7557 2 года назад

Great video!! I had the exact problem with my 2004 Silverado 1500. About the simplest (and surprisingly inexpensive) fix I’ve ever done. Your tutorials are my ‘go to” when working on my truck. Keep up the good work. Thanks!!

@jeffmeyers8526 3 года назад

I have the exact same issue in my 2003 Suburban, same door and everything. Thanks for the 2003 video!! Keep em coming.

Same on my 95 tahoe

@jakemeoff0387 3 года назад

Nice, on older GM window motors were riveted, so you would have to drill rivets out and bolt new window motor that comes with new bolts in. What an exceptional pain that was on '94 Impala SS and '80 Monte Carlo that I remember.

@Eparker09 3 года назад

Thanks for the guidance. Here's a tip to reuse that black sealant. I used my heat gun to heat it up enough to get back that tackiness.

@BIGWILLY8313 3 года назад

If the motor is seized you can cut the threaded wires that move the window up and down to manually move the window. Also i saw some people mention silicon spray on the window glass track thats a good tip but don't forget to look down that track and make sure the rubber seal that rides on the glass is not rolled over on itself doubling up the rubber on the glass if that makes any sense.

@RC4X4 3 года назад

Great video and tips. Mine were slow going up and I just loosed the window and rolled it up and down the tightened the screw and they work good now.

@michaelquillen2679 3 года назад

I don't remember if I've ever commented on any of your videos, but let me take the time now to tell you that I do enjoy them. Thanks!

@PaulCTownsend 3 года назад

Now spray your tracks with silicone spray often.

@Peter_Riis_DK 3 года назад

Exactly - but first wash out 25 years of crud and grime.

@mikezimmerman2786 3 года назад

Used the silicone and it worked great!!

@midnight-xpress1136 3 года назад

Was going to say the same thing. Also add, before you spray get a nylon brush or tooth brush and scrub the felt lined tracks to get debris out of the channel. Then silicone spray.

@micahyarbrough5513 3 года назад

I was also going to say silicone spray. Just did that on all my vehicles and the windows move so much more smoothly.

❤ Love this. I have to help fix someone's 2002 Tahoe, and today my 2003 Suburban rear passenger window just got stuck rolling it back up... stuck halfway down. 😁 Video saved, and gonna refer to it as I work on the part change.

@billward4418 3 года назад

I used silicone dray spray on window tracks worked well for me. Worth a try.

@doonular 3 года назад

You can easily hear that the window still slows down considerably near the top of its range. The first thing to do with a slow or struggling power window is to first clean and then lubricate the rubber gasket window seal all the way around with silicone spray. It can make a major difference. If you had tried that first, you might not have even needed to replace the regulator and saved yourself some money. You can do it to all of your windows as preventative maintenance.

@joannaquanttumphysics 11 месяцев назад

My rubber gasket window seal melted into the door, now it stops working occasionally. Only when it's hot out. Would cleaning it work? There is no motor sound when it fails. It never fails going down.

@doonular 11 месяцев назад

@@joannaquanttumphysicsI never heard of or encountered a window gasket seal actually melting, to me it sounds like the gasket seal will need to be replaced. Sorry I can't help more than that

@x-man5056 3 года назад

Good video Jimmy. Everyone with a more than 10 year old vehicle has at least one window acting up. Usually it's the driver's window. Once a year when I lube my truck, I use silicone spray in the window tracks. Sometimes it will even fix the sticking problem you had.

@dogtongue88 Год назад

Spary silicone spray in the window tracks about once a year from brand new, and don't hold your button down once the window stops and you won't have a problem.

@dennishassler605 18 дней назад

I had a regulator go out in Mexico, but it was apparently the cable that time. SEVERAL years later, the motor appears to be the problem, so I bought a new regulator with a motor and will replace it. Not that long ago I repaired the driver's window mechanism and that only took an hour to install and worked perfectly. My Suburban has 320K miles on it and has no issues except some things get old and proper maintenance is important!!!!

@m.campbell2776 3 года назад

@tomp4047 3 года назад

I learn something each time I watch your videos. I had no idea how the window was attached to the regulator. I didn't know that you could cut the black adhesive on the Weather film. Wish I'd known that years ago. I didn't know you could buy the motor and regulator together. I've replaced at least a dozen power window motors in my and other people's cars. All with a messy drill out a rivet procedure. Once again, thanks so much Jimmy

Jimmy. Clean the window tracks then lube the tracks with silicone spray. Your new regulator will work much quicker and the window will slide much more easily too.

Why do all these "window stuck down" videos start with the window all the way up, and no demonstration on how to get the window up before the regulator replacement?

@kylehenderson849 10 месяцев назад

What do I do if my window is stuck all the way down

@michealrobinson 3 года назад

I'd also spray the window tracks with a little silicone spray so the glass slides smoothly.

@malibuman8941 3 года назад

So curious to see what went wrong with the regulator. Maybe just needed lube on the moving parts or wiring connection isn't fully engaged (green corrosion) causing too much resistance therefore not sending full current to the motor.

@condor5635 2 года назад

That earned you a kitchen pass or two. Great job

@ronbertka7023 3 года назад

I hear it bogging down near same spot. Need to lube it well as your are going to have same issue in couple years. You may have a upper frame slightly out on the door. To test shut door, if bogging then space the top of door slightly out. Use cardboard to do this. If it clears up you need to have body shop take a look.

@graysonsgarage5157 3 года назад

I remember when both the rear regulators went out on my crew cab Silverado. I remember before I was able to fix them, I had to hold the window up with duct tape.

@alaskarailroad3996 3 года назад

Also keep in mind, if you had the engine running the window would go up much quicker.

@Itsme83. Год назад

Always try to clean them first. The track where the glass meets the rubber. You went straight to the most difficult thing you could do

Can you do it without taking anything off like just looking at the window track from the outside

@HootOwl513 Месяц назад

I have an 03 Chevy Tahoe. I just got it 3 months ago. [3/24] My passenger side rear window sometimes goes down on its own. Rear Drivers Side window only goes down 2 - 4 inches. Also there's a big malfunction in the Drivers Door 8-Button Master Switch. Drivers window works OK, Up/Down, but the Front Passenger side window works about 1/10th of the time. I have to use the Passenger switch. I will R&R the 8-Button Switch first, then see where that gets me.

I noticed in this video that's your rear window is capable of opening completely. I have a 2005 Tahoe and the windows stop about 8 or 9 in shy of the bottom. I wonder if there is a removable stop on the window regulator?

@robs1852 3 года назад

The Tahoe back door has a cutout for the wheel well so the window cant go down completely. Since the Suburban is longer, the wheelwell is farther back behind the door. This allows the door to be square and the glass can go all the way down inside the door
