To replace the door window regulator, first, take off the door trim panel as well as the pink or black plastic water shield should one be installed in the door. Next, a front door speaker has to be taken off. On vehicles with production up to 2009, lower the window glass until one can see the glass clamp bolts, tighten but don't remove the bolts and use the tape to fasten the window. It will be necessary to detach the window regulator motor so as to make some adjustments to the position of the window glass if this item is damaged or disconnected. You have to lower the window regulator mechanism until it stops, then, pull out all electric connectors and unbolt grommet on the harness. Release the retaining clip that lock the harness to the door from inside, and take out the door latch, outside handle, lock cylinder, and if there is, the keyless entry pad. Destr the exterior door handle reinforcement screw Turn the regulator module assembly mounting bolts and take the moudle out of the door. For 2010 and later models try reconnecting the power window switch the and lower the window glass while keeping the switch connected to open the window until the glass clamp locking tabs are visible. Insert them from inside on each of the GLASS TO REGULATOR CLAMP LOCKING TABS and fasten the window with tape. Remove the electrical connector from the power window motor, remove the five window regulator screws then extract the window regulator and motor through the wide aperture of the door. For the regulator motor, the initial steps are the removal of the door trim panel which is followed by the pull of the plastic water shield and the removal of the front door speaker. Perhaps, this should be done by disconnecting the electrical connector of the regulator motor and wrapping the window with some tape. For the models preceding 2009, unscrew the three mounting screws for the regulator motor On the models after 2009, the regulator and motor must be detached in order to access the screws. Removal is the opposite and de-initialization/initialization processes should be made after installation.
