Installation Steps

1. Remove the interior door panel, releasing screws, clips and electrical switches without damaging the trim.
2. Peel back the plastic moisture barrier carefully. Keep the barrier and sealant for reinstallation.
3. Locate the bolts connecting the window glass to the regulator through the door access holes.
4. If needed, position the glass to access its bolts before disconnecting power. Keep it supported.
5. Have an assistant hold the glass firmly while loosening or removing its mounting bolts.
6. Raise the freed glass into the fully closed position with the assistant's help.
7. Secure the glass in the upper door frame using suitable tape on both sides; confirm it will not fall.
8. Remove the regulator mounting bolts, noting their positions and any differences in length.
9. Remove the motor mounting bolts only if necessary. Skip motor separation for a preassembled motor-and-regulator replacement unless vehicle instructions require it.
10. Depress the connector latch and unplug the motor wiring by holding the connector housing, never the wires.
11. Carefully withdraw the motor and regulator through the service opening without damaging cables or door metal.
12. If replacing only the motor, transfer the old regulator onto the replacement motor using vehicle-specific instructions; skip this step for a complete assembled replacement.
13. Guide the replacement motor and regulator through the access opening and align all mounting holes.
14. Hand-start and reinstall the mounting bolts, then tighten to manufacturer specifications without cross-threading.
15. Reconnect the motor electrical connector securely and keep its wiring away from moving parts.
16. Have an assistant support the glass, remove the temporary tape, then carefully lower the glass to the regulator bracket.
17. Align and reinstall the glass-to-regulator fasteners. Verify the glass is supported before the assistant releases it.
18. Reseal the moisture barrier, reconnect trim wiring, reinstall the door panel, reconnect the battery, and test full window travel.

Post-Installation Verification

• Confirm all fasteners are present and tightened to OEM specifications.
• Check smooth glass tracking and full window travel without binding or noise.
• Test switches, auto-up and anti-pinch features; recalibrate as instructed for the vehicle.
• Check wiring clearance, door trim, moisture barrier seal and door latch.
