your video saved me from taking out the regulator rivets, cant say thanks enough. I used your method on a 95 lumina apv, different door panel but exactly the same motor. It worked!
I just picked up a 95 V 6 T Top, both windows do not work, passenger side when it's in the mood. Thanks for sharing. Definitely going to be a big help!
Appreciate the help... I was able to drill the holes and replace mine.... thanks to your vid... it was a pain in the ass aligning the motor up with the holes but I got it..... Thanks again..... . .
Your technique of drilling holes to get access to the motor was awesome!!! Genius!!! You saved me a lot of time by avoiding the removal of the regulator. This technique needs to added to the Hayes manual (with royalties paid to you of course). Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!
Nice video and nice car! I’m the proud owner of a hardtop 95 z28 m6 same color! My passenger window crapped out yesterday so will be watching this several more times lol
I never leave comments but I felt this video warranted it. This is a great video and extremely helpful. Thank you for passing on lessons learned, it was very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for this tutorial, I was completely lost trying to figure it out on my own, and my uncle was trying to take out the rivets for the window regulator before I found this. So, thanks again.
Nick Aguilera the slide lock clips off from the rod. A bit of jiggling and it comes off, its held in place by a 90degree bend in the end of the rod slotting into a hole in the slider. You can just push the rod backwards and it should clip off.
Thanks for the video, you just saved me like $300 or more in repair costs! I just ordered 2 motors off ebay for like $30 shipped & will be replacing both my nonfunctional ones in my '99 Firebird this weekend
Excellent video BUT it looks like a good days work !!! Mine ars starting to run slow , so i'm gonna replace both sides ! Thanks for the info ! GOD Bless
So I followed your removal and installation but what I realize is that the window has a small gap right behind my seat which it isn’t making contact with the weather stripping, any ideas?
You didn't show where you put the push button on the door or the driver side, normally the driver side door has two of them to power both windows and then your passenger which you've shown already, could you please show me your driver side power window, and give a ballpark figure of how much I'm gonna be paying for this transition! Thank You kindly! I have the same year 95 Camero but hardtop!
would there be a difference between the 9 and 12 tooth window motor? i need to replace mine but i saw both.. so not sure if the 12 tooth motor will row that window up/down fatser or not
What was the part number of motors that you were able to get? I can only find part numbers showing the whole motor and regulator assembly. Even a part manufacturer would help. Thanks!
There is a reason for rivets over screws/bolts. Due to vibration from driving, opening and closing the door, and the movement of the windows, screws/bolts will loosen over time. If you do use bolts instead of re-riveting it, use a warpy washer and the strongest thread locker you can find. Best way though is to go ahead and put in a new assembly motor and regulator. The after market ones will last longer than the car. Also, obtain some window wedges from a place that sell auto body equipment and put them on each side of the window to hold the window in place.
+MISTAT45 If you drill a 1/2 hole in these approx locations you will see the much smaller rivets on the motor/regulator behind the fiberglass. I guestamated from a picture myself and had no problem.
Nice posting! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much. Mike, owner 97 camaro convertible, 300,000 miles and still rolling!

Really useful video. Took me about an hour to replace drivers motor. Thanks so much from South Africa!
Paul Stalker how did u remove slide lock
Nick Aguilera the slide lock clips off from the rod. A bit of jiggling and it comes off, its held in place by a 90degree bend in the end of the rod slotting into a hole in the slider. You can just push the rod backwards and it should clip off.
Paul Stalker just poped that sucker out used a nail set
Thx Paul
Thanks for posting this video with correct hole placement . Really helpful in installing my son's 96 Camaro window motor.

FirebirdGT00 can u post link?
Big suction cups work great. Much less gaudy when it first goes out too! 👍
saw out some of the door frame to make it easier to get in the door better. Its a pain but this video helps
I feel your pain. Those windows are a bitch, I did my motor by taking the whole regulator out.
Very nice port, thanks very much, but whom would dislike this,? 12 dislikes, Come on!!
Excellent video BUT it looks like a good days work !!!
Mine ars starting to run slow , so i'm gonna replace both sides !
Thanks for the info !
GOD Bless
Very helpful thanks!!
You don't even mention the hardest part.. Putting the lock bar cover back in
acrock21 how do u do it shits hard B
I saw a product called AutoTrix, its a different wiring for the windows, apparently runs power from your battery to make your windows really fast..
I just ran to auto zone, part number I think is 742-101
So I followed your removal and installation but what I realize is that the window has a small gap right behind my seat which it isn’t making contact with the weather stripping, any ideas?
No problem
How do you know where to drill the holes and how do you know it's directly fit from keeping it from not moving thank you

I have a95 camera and there is a miss when you hit the gas pedal

how did you figure out where to drill the holes?
my 99 z28's driver side window motor keeps dying out then it works again after i wait a lil bit lol :( you should come fix it for me haha :(
Can't get holes to line with motor???
Yes your motor needs replacement
leave it to GM to rivet these damn things in there

Can anyone tell me how your finding where to drill those 3 holes?
