Great tutorial! However, I'm using your comments section to add needed info that no one seems to go over. If the window is stuck in the down position, you will need to remove the regulator motor (3 screws). Then you will be able to push the glass up with your hand through the speaker hole to position the 2 window bolts so that you can access for removal.

I’m confused. My glass is stuck in down position. Does glass need to come out for when I remove the entire window regulator panel or does the glass stay inside the door. Please help a girl out 😅.

[@Roy-he6dk]

@@kmali54 your glass window either needs to be in the up position and taped so that it stays up or you can pull all the way out and reinsert after replacing regulator.

3 Notes. A) you do not need to disconnect the battery. I've never disconnected the battery on any Hyundai or Kia. B) You don't need to change the entire window regulator. The problem with these is the gear INSIDE the regulator. The motors are seldom a problem. C) How do you not have power tools? A $100 bosch driver would save a lot of time.

[@briancastillo2911]

R you sure it’s the gear ? I rather change it all

[@PowerUpAuto]

@@briancastillo2911 It's just the gear, but easier to chaneg the netire regulator

[@nicho667]

D) Mind your bussines if you don't agree on how he did it do your own video

What's the price difference between changing the entire regulator panel vs just the motor? Depending how much more work it is vs pricing is something to consider.

[@user-yb1ct4mc3o]

Are we suppose to guess how you disconnected the glass from the regulator?????

[@PlugConnection]

I was wondering the same thing

[@heathertaylor8904]

It says in the description you can go to his website for that extra stuff.
