i'm actually trying to replace my door latch assembly, but this gave me a good idea of what's involved in taking the door apart... thank you!
Not sure why my 2014 Optima would be different, but I didn't need to bother the outside door handle or latch to unplug those 2 plugs as they were easily accessible from the inside of the door panel. The rest of the procedure was identical.
great video. followed step by step. thanks for putting it out.
Glad it helped!
@@PowerUpAuto Hello, I need your assistance to fix my daughter's Kia Windows here in the Tampa area. How can I get in touch with you?
Great video. Thank you for making this.
Thank you, got everything off to find my regulator wire all tangled up/ broken 😭 at least I know what the problem is now
I need help 🤣Im scared to take the motor off will the wires jump off the spindle if im grabbing a junk one?
I changed the window regulator to a new one and the window still doesn’t go up . The fuses are good all the window switches work expect the driver passenger door and the master switch door to the same window any ideas?
If the problem was the window regulator you would have heard a crunching grinding sound. The motors generally don't go bad. Options
A) Try changing the window switch
B) Do a web search for power window repair and the city you are in and pay a local company to fix this for you.
C) Drive the car to Tampa, FL I'll take a look
Took my vehicle to KIA and they said my motor was seized. I've taken the door panel off many times to replace the speakers. No idea why, but 3 of my windows went out at the same time..? Fuses check out just fine. Wondering if its the regulator or the motor? Any ideas?
I have a new regulator for a 2014 kia optima with a new motor attached to the new regulator, to move the bracket to attach the window with the bolts do I need to remove the new motor from the regulator, or is there a better way? thank you very much.
I also live in Florida, Orlando area to be exact. I have to change the regulator on a 2016 Kia Optima LX Rear Driver side door. How did you hold up the window, and is it necessary to raise and lower it often during the removal/install of the regulator.
Suction cup, you can use dent pullers
2012 Kia Optima. Passenger side regulator. Switched out old to new, set window in brackets, and motor is connected and working. (Note: Have not put door panel back on.) Pushed window down and tried to reset (as mentioned in your video) by using driver side button. Still no luck. Window still not moving. What should I do now?
Keep in mind BOTH switches need to be connected for either switch to work.
My rear right window randomly stopped responding to all power requests from driver panel and passenger panel to go up or down. I'm wondering if that indicates it's just the motor that is bad or the whole regulator panel.
Could be the switch too
@@claytonhayes3024 I'm sort of thinking it's the switch. Thinking since it's the driver panel and over the years opening and closing the door with rain and normal usage, it has crapped out. I think the left passenger window is starting to sputter out now.
I need to get a voltage meter and check it out.
I'm stuck on the part where you put the window on the supports, when I am lowering my window manually, they don't fit really well onto the supports
Send me a video. I'll check it out. 727-410-9995
Quick question is this the same method to use for rear replacement?
Pretty much
@@PowerUpAuto Thank you!
At 5:36, are we looking at the inside of the external metal on the door? I would like to replace the window as the current one has a small crack. In the top right corner of the exposed area, are we looking at the support for the bottom of the window? Is there only one? Thank you for any help you can provide.
If you are just replacing the glass you do not need to remove the regulator. Just loosen the two 10mm bolts that hold the glass and replace the glass.
This happened to my 2016 optima with all four windows in a 18 month period. Three were replaced under warranty. Four window was slightly out of warranty it when it was in warranty, it was moving real slow. Local dealer refused to fix it. Stopped working completely once warranty was out. Contacted Kia and they refuse to fix. I will never buy another Kia vehicle ever!
The 2016 thru 2021 you can just change the gear inside the regulator. I have a video on youtube showing how. ruclips.net/video/B2QMAzUlp2s/видео.html
Do these require programming
How did you remove and replace the rivets?
which rivets?
do you know what kind of screws are holding down the window motor? its 3 but aren't regular philips head.
8mm torx
@@PowerUpAuto woah thank you so much for replying !!
CAn you just use some Blue Painters Tape to hold the window up and release when necessary?
excellent idea. Run a strip vertically at the bottom of the glass. Should work to change the regulator.
I wished the camera showed the outer edge of the door so I could see what exactly u are doing cuz I’m no mechanic but I’m sure I can fix this window if I knew step by step what to do exactly! lol
The video shows everythng you would need to see. Not sure what more you need to see.
You don't need to remove door handle or latch. The wire retainers can be pushed in next to latch. Pull rubber grommet around wire from regulator panel, but gently as it is attached to wires. Once everything is loose you can drop black panel and access wire connections just inside door.
Also, do you provided part number per replacement part in your vids?
Call the local Kia dealer with the last 8 digits of your VIN # and they can get you a part number.
how ironic, I'm in Florida too and just covered this same issue in my recent video. I was curious to see if people with the same vehicle up north had the same issue?
Maybe the silicon or grease they use is drying up causing the possible pop of the wire. Up North the wear on rubber and grease is effected a little differently, look how our dashboard crack down here in Florida.
The heat tends to dry out the plastic that holds the cables on. Causing them to come off the brackets. OR the gear inside the regulator strips out (more common). vI know a guy in my area who could 3d print the gears but still no way to rewrap the cables onto the regulator.
Do you do this as a business? What's your web site?
I checked out your video. Very good. BUT, how do you not have a cordless screwgun? I have the best luck with Bosch. Live forever and great customer service.
@@PowerUpAuto that’s 3D printing is awesome.
I think you're absolutely spot on, im dealing with it now and that was my exact diagnosis
All in all solid video. Any guesses as to factory labor time on this repair per the book/factory procedure? Just curious. I'm thinking 1.3 labor hours
sounds about right
What happens if my window is down while doing all this because the window was down while I did this now I’m having trouble putting it back
You might need to loosen the 10mm bolts that hold the glass to the track. You can certainly destroy the panel in any way necessary since you will be replacing the entire panel anyway. Just drill (with a hole saw) holes where the bolts line up with the round access points you would normally use. And by the way, any chance you simply had the window lock (driver door) on?
@@PowerUpAuto thing is I’m trying not to destroy the panel but just I was trying to get my way to get my key stuck out the lock cylinder because it got stuck and I can’t get it out
@@superdj2456 just remove the outer door handle. You dont need to remove the entire door panel. Might need a locksmith to get the key ouy
@@PowerUpAuto damn then I fucked up so bad then I didn’t know that there’s no videos of this and I didn’t have no idea or knowledge researching this stuff
Removing the outer door handle is easy. Black round cover on the side of the door. Remove the bolt behind it. Lift the door handle and remove e the key Cylinder
How did you remove that inner panel
Mine will not pop out like yours did!
Not sure what you refer to. at what time stamp in the movie did you see it pop out?
4:27 you pulled it off easily. Mine is not pulling off and I cracked some plastic trying to pry off with flat head screwdriver up top left
I removed the bolts but its still secured tight on top
@@sethbah1 You may have a version where you need to remove the outer door handle and the latch. If the two cables are in individual holes you probably have that version.
Also, does not matter if you crack the old regulator, you are replacing the entire assembly.
When replacing the window regulator do you have to replace the motor?
Motor is probably fine. They seldom are a problem.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Alan Jesse instablaster :)
@Roberto Damian thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Roberto Damian It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out!
My wife's 14 Optima driver window is stuck down. It'll go up about an inch, and that's it.
Probably changing the window regulator. Video above
Your in florida but you def sound like your from that MA area....
Salem, MA. I married a witch (a good witch)
Hii bro
No need to take the outside door handle off.done plenty of them.20 min job.
2016-2021 you would be correct. I did a 2014 optima yesterday. Can not see how to get this done without removing the handle and latch.
DUDE HOW THE FUQ DID YOU GET THE SECOND SCREW OFF OF THE REGULATOR
2 10 mm bolts. Time stamp 1:30?
I repairs this winder cables
No replace
they are trying to charge me 600 bucks for this
That's a bit high but not crazy for a dealer. Now that you've seen the video you should be able to do this yourself.
