Jesse, just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude, and appreciation for the time you spent making this video. It was a great asset in changing out the driver side window regulator on my 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. It made the change out much easier, and go without a hitch, again thank you 😊 for the comprehensive approach to the procedures needed, and tools required. 🔧 Please accept the following suggestions, that I hope any future edited versions of this video may make. Please consider the possibility of adding and also some clarification as to diameter, and length, and thread type of the bolts 🔩, and nuts, and washers, used to replace the rivets punched out, and or drilled out, for securing the parts in place. It would be helpful to know in advance the sizes. Yes, I understand that you say to have bolts, and nuts, but the amounts, and suggested sizes would help. Also, I think that you should urge your viewers to utilize a interior nylon washer type of metal nuts, in order to allow you to start the threads, and then to cushion the tightening of the parts safely, particularly the glass to metal parts. A good, real hardware store should be able to stock these items. Last but not least, I think that you should make it known that the regulator comes plain regulator only, or the more expensive regulator and motor together. This, while more expensive than just a regulator, may be a better solution, especially should you find yourself the owner of not only a bad regulator, but a door with a bad power window motor as well. Could save time, as well as the extreme frustration of having to secure an additional part, and a repetition of all the disassembly, and reassembly, especially outside in the street, or bad weather, or somewhere that doesn't have the luxury of a heated or secure garage. 🤔 Just a suggestion. Thanks again Doctor Mercury, I hope that both you, and your brother continued enjoyment of your Panther platforms, I am sure as God made little green apples 🍏, that one of the biggest product planning mistakes, Ford has made since the Edsel, was the discontinuance of the Panther platforms. Again thanks for the video.
Mine locked up completely and I thought I needed a new motor. Took the door apart and sprayed the motor with a bunch of electrical component lube. After it sat overnight it worked like new. Just a thought. Way cheaper than replacing parts and it worked for me. And mines an old 99 that sat outside forever too lol.
Jesse, thanks for the excellent video! Just finished changing out the driver's side regulator on my son's 2006 GM. Job went great and took about 2 hours. We purchased Dorman Part #741-664 from Advance Auto (got 15% off using DEC3 coupon). Below are some clarifying comments from our install that might help others. Take pictures of everything while removing pieces, to help answer questions when reinstalling. Also, as was mentioned in the video, prying up the window switch panel should be done carefully AND from the front first, to avoid cracking the rear tab. The screw inside the door panel that Jesse didn't have was 7mm on our car, as were the (3) screws around the edges. We used 1/4" x 1" hex bolts with lock nuts. It took ten bolts, since we didn't remove the metal bar. We did however, remove the door actuator (3 rivets) to access the front window rivet. Reviewing the video again, that may have been an unnecessary step. [NOTE: Shorter bolts (3/4") would probably suffice for all locations with the exception of the two that go into the window. However the 1" bolts did not interfere with any clearances that I can tell.] Punching out the rivet centers takes more force than I expected, probably because the door panel flexes when struck. Used the 3/8" bit to drill out the rivets and that worked very well - just take your time to let the drill bit "eat through" the rivet. If the rivet starts spinning, hold it in place with a screwdriver. The plastic (buffer) piece on the window will fall off, so be sure to reinsert before putting those bolts in place. Note which way they are oriented before removing the rivets, because they do have a unique front and back side. Our moisture shield was in bad shape (cracking) so we sealed with aluminum duct tape. Note that the door actuator rod MUST BE on the inside side of the new actuator assembly before installing the new bolts. We had everything together, then had to partially disassemble the bottom to swap the rod around.
Was able to fix it G. The folks I bought this from hit a deer and it looks like this had already been replaced because the rivets were already popped. One of the motor mount bolts snapped and the motor kept moving in front of the regulator. Might want to add an edit about what size bolts/nuts to use. I'll add an edit to this post, I just had it pulled up And already forgot Edit: 1/4" - 20 5/8" round head 1/4" - 20 nylon lock nuts 1/4" x 1 1/4" fender washer. Hope this helps someone else
The window motor on my Mercury just gave out. I did something similar on the Crown Vic I was driving once, but this video definitely helped me answer that question I was asking myself, "How the hell did I do this last time?" Thanks, man! Edit: Two other things. 1. The punch part was always goddamn nerve racking. 2. You just earned a new sub for your Mercury content, chief.
hey jesse, i watch your videos everytime i have a problem with my 05 GM GS. you never steer me in the wrong direction and it's always so easy and fast. i hate going to auto repair shops because most take advantage when they can. thank you always!
Love my Marquis just drove 2 NY and back to FL. 2nd window crapped out down in the rainy season in Florida. Got the kit for all four. Bashed the shit outta my hand. I will be an expert at the end, thanks for the vid. At least I hadn't tinted my windows yet. LCM needs replacing as well. I know that's a common problem.
Thanks for the video Jesse, I have to replace two regulators on a 92 and one on my 04 soon and I've been dreading it. The only regulator I've replaced in the past was on a 1977 Crysler Cordoba and it was an ordeal.
Great stuff man love the videos. You have helped me work on my 99 and now my 05 tips tricks and all have def helped me do some small projects on my own and save some cash. Thanks
Thanks! Went smoothly enough.. Used a 1/4 inch drill bit and chiseled out the rivet heads. went with 1/4-20x1/4 nuts n bolts. Needed two bolts longer for the window
Your video helped me out a lot I thank you me and my lady got the job done we had a little trouble at first but once we thought about what we were doing wrong we got it easy peasy
At end of vid you make a suggestion about master power window switch (I have a 2003 Lincoln town car) over the last yr a couple windows will not go down, @ night 2 of master power window buttons do not light up….think I will order one and replace first, even the window LOCK switch does not work But before I order I will pop up master power window switch and make sure the plugs are making contact
Great video Bud! Now I feel braver taking my window apart... I think my regulator still works, but the window seems like it's not attached any more as it just falls down... for $40 I'll get a new regulator while I have the door apart... new speaks prolly too! You just earned Fi' Dolla! 😀
Just finished my driver side. Appreciate the helpful video. Noticed my passenger side isn’t working when testing during the install. Oh well at least I know how to do it 😂
Thank You Jesse. I too have a 2004 Merc. Grand Marquis with window problems. The Passenger rear door window quit going up and down, so I had to metal tape it up. Then today, the Passenger front door window won't go up and down. I Tried to get the door passenger front door panel off, but think there is one more screw under where the door switch panel is located, as I haven't taken off the switch panel yet, so I'll have to see to that, as it think it's the problem with one more screw holding it on. Thanks for the Video, Great Job. I love this old car, but I'm getting too old to do this anymore. And I know what it's going to cost me if I have to take it to a Shop.
Bruhhhhh.. I was going batshit crazy, thinking it was me, and literally have this identical problem. Lol gonna fix my shit this weekend, thank you so much.
How can you know if it’s the window regulator or switch? Cause I’m having trouble with my windows too but I don’t know if I need a new switch or regulator.
Hey Jesse. I just came across your videos and they are by far the best Ive seen yet. About 2 yrs ago i aquired my Dads 2000 GM LS. I have yet to see another quite like it ANYWHERE!! Its all digital, prem sound, leather, Half Rag top with Opera Lights! Is this a rare vehicle? Its already cherry but Im having the teardrop rims powder coated. The opera lights do not work and I have no idea how to fix them or even where to look for the light strips. I would love to see this repair done in one of your videos!
Just want to thank you do a great job on the video everything I needed to know all I want to do is Echo the same thing that the fellow below me mentioned good job
Thanks so much for making this video man. Gonna give this a shot this weekend on my 2007 GM. This vid may save me a couple hundred bucks. Fingers crossed ha!
hola jesse, vivo en Queretaro,Mexico y sigo tus videos, aqui no puedo conseguir refacciones para reparar una transmision bw modelo 66 para un XJ6, 1985, sabes si se puede adaptar una transmision de un carro mas moderno y cual podria ser, gracias por tus comentarios, saludos Hi Jesse, I live in Querétaro, Mexico and I follow your videos, here I can't get spare parts to repair a transmission bw model 66 for an XJ6, 1985, do you know if a transmission can be adapted from a more modern car and what it could be, thanks for your comments, greetings
My guy I'm going absolutely insane here. My motor was fine, replaced the regulator and the window goes up and down three times and then gets stuck down. If I remove the motor and reinstall it it does the exact same thing. There's that little blue relay there for the auto down system and I THINK it keeps wanting to not switch off and keep trying to bring the window down because the window motor gets really hot. Any suggestions?
Jesse, problem: both right side windows do not get power signal to go up or down. Only the left hand side front and rear windows work, which tells me that there is a disconnect somewhere. I already checked the door cable connections, those don’t show a tear or rip. Where could the disconnect be? 1998 grand marquis
If all the power windows are not working, you should start by checking fuses and relay. Also a faulty main power window switch will prevent the windows from going down. This video is for one of the windows that is not working.
1/4" x 1/2-3/4" for everything not the window. 1/4x1" for the window. Lock nuts if you can. Washers on everything. Blue loctite if you don't have the correct washers, but you should get lock washers since you have to go get hardware somewhere anyway.
You’re going to have to cut the wire from the window regulator to push the window down. I didn’t even think about breaking the glass I just did it. if you find another method let us know best of luck !
My mom has an 06 Grand monkey and within the last three years I'd say all her window motors have went out. She likes to go down to Tires Plus because she has credit with them. So we went down there and they replaced a couple of the window motors and regulators for the two back windows passenger driver . Then the passenger front windows start giving us trouble so they replaced it and then in 6 months it gave us trouble again so we went back at no charge and they replaced it again. Somewhere in there the driver front window went bad so we replace it. So the other night the front driver window wouldn't go up again same scenario as 3 years ago sitting in Walmart parking lot at night after grocery shopping went to put all the window down. Because it was a nice night, it was cool in Florida for the last two nights and I went to roll the window back up and it start acting stupid. So I was playing with it and it wouldn't go up .Come to find out that on the regulator by the motor where the two springs are, on the one side the plastic broke and causes the spring to come out so it put a bind on the cable. So I thought screw that I'm not taking it the Tires Plus again I'll try to fix it myself so I went down the street to advance and spent 80 bucks and got a new motor regulator and I got on RUclips and found your video I very much appreciate you and your brother too I'm glad he doesn't have to hurt his hand on that door anymore thanks to you. I had a good time working on the door though it was kind of a fun project it's always nice to star following somebody that knows what they're doing on a video and then come to an end and have the result you wanted a finished job and a window that works. I didn't have to drill too many rivets the only rivets that were there was the ones that were holding in the motor and I don't know why those guys down at Tires Plus just didn't use bolts on those, they did on every other rivet they just put bolts in instead which was nice. I just want to let you know I appreciate you making the video and trying to keep it simple and going step by step thank you.
I bought a Dorman assembly. It came in a box to fit with absolutely _NO_ packing material! There was a big hole in the box right where the motor was located, and a big hole in one of the corners. The motor tested dead. I returned it. After multiple attempts to get a refund, they gave me only a little over 50% back. I will never buy a Dorman so-called product again. By at your own risk, because they sure don't have any.
Appreciate the video, but this is why I hate modern cars with power everything. My power window just died on my 2000 Grand Marquis, and I know for a fact that window was rarely used. No reason for a motor to die on a new car like that.

2024 and still getting the job done! Fixed my 2010 Grand Marquis with this video! Much Love man! ❤ THANK YOU
As a little brother that also has an older brother he can have help him in situations like this shoutout to you guys man honestly 🤣🙏🏽🤘🏽
By far the best video on replacing a driver's side window regulator. Thanks for your clear instructions and stable camera work.
Man I was nervous as shit putting a punch to the window. But you made this job a breeze thanks alot.
Thanks for the video man, My 2002 marquis just started doing this at 198k miles.
Absolute life saver, thanks boss. Having the same problem with my 97. I'll report back, looks easy enough.

Love the extreme weight reduction measures. I bet removing that screw transformed the handling and acceleration!! 🤣😂
I’ve made the car run better without all these extra screws and bolts. FORD should hire me ! 😅🤣
and better gas mileage
Your video helped me out a lot I thank you me and my lady got the job done we had a little trouble at first but once we thought about what we were doing wrong we got it easy peasy
We had to knock the rivets out at a downward angle

Is all the window regulators the same
What size bolts and nuts did you use for the replacement of Rivets ?
Weight reduction! 😂 thats what im sayin man!
Thanks for the vid!

Is it safe to rivet the window glass back to the regulater?
Jesse, problem: both right side windows do not get power signal to go up or down. Only the left hand side front and rear windows work, which tells me that there is a disconnect somewhere. I already checked the door cable connections, those don’t show a tear or rip. Where could the disconnect be? 1998 grand marquis
Ok so will this fix all of the windows? Or do i need to buy four separate?
If all the power windows are not working, you should start by checking fuses and relay. Also a faulty main power window switch will prevent the windows from going down. This video is for one of the windows that is not working.
Does the new regulators come with a motor? I liked and subbed btw lol
Yea the regulator assembly’s. One with new motors. Thanks !
The factory should have used nuts and washers in the first place 😭
I installed mine an it rolls up crooked what do you think 🤔
Did you replace all the rivets with screws?
Yes, I bought a hardware set.
@@XJJesse Thanks. something generic or is there a special hardware set for this install? link?
@@ckcstyle it was a metric bolt and nut set from autozone.
What size bolts did you use
Hey anyone know what the keypad on the door is called and where I can get 1 I have a 97 grand marquis
Might only be for LS models, the install seems complicated if there’s no keypad from the factory but good luck
Rivits!!Rivets!!! I hate those!! What a joke!!! They couldn't use screws come on man!!!
What size screws did you use
1/4" x 1/2-3/4" for everything not the window. 1/4x1" for the window.
Lock nuts if you can. Washers on everything. Blue loctite if you don't have the correct washers, but you should get lock washers since you have to go get hardware somewhere anyway.
How do I get the window down to remove the rivet in the glass? And damn, could u come do that one? Scared I'm gonna break the glass doing it! 😂
You’re going to have to cut the wire from the window regulator to push the window down. I didn’t even think about breaking the glass I just did it. if you find another method let us know best of luck !
Di d you put any nuts on the endz of those bolts
Yes!
Are they 6x8 ? Or 7
Amigo como arreglo el control de los espejos retrovisor
What was the actual time that it took to do this job?
I'm guessing at least an hour or two depending on how many bolts you drop in the door!
I cut the wire cuz the window wont come down but it's still stuck up. Anyone know how to get it down? I have no idea what's still holding it up
What size bolts

You skipped install bracket glass retainers, the round plastic pieces that hold the glass to the bracket...so did all the other videos I viewed.
