I replaced mine yesterday, and all went well. This was a great video and a big help, thank you. However, the window still has a very small gap at the top when I put it all the way up. I only know this because of the wind noise that comes in that was not there before… definitely a gap. Did I do something wrong, or is there an adjustment that should be done?
It just spins about 1/4 turn clockwise to come off. So, to reattach it to the inner panel with the window track, just line up the circle on the back side of the panel with the corresponding hole on the white plate and turn it 1/4 turn counter clockwise to lock it in place.
@seasonsla I removed the handle when doing the repair on my mother in laws car, which seemed to be necessary at the time. To remove the handle, you pop out a plastic cover on the end of the door (by the latch) and unscrew the bolt holding the key cylinder in place. Remove the lock by sliding it straight out. Then, pull the handle towards where the lock cylinder was, and it comes right out. I hope this helps. It's been a while since I did this repair.
Let's say I wanted to put some sound deading behind that cover would I risk the window falling ir is there a way to take it off without the window from falling ??
I just need to know how to get the window to stay up. I cant buy a window regulator right now and my window cant be down all the time. How did you temp fix it in the up position???
My track does not move but I hear it , my window fell down and I had to hand pull it up and tape it to stay up, trying to find videos to help me with that. ANy ideas?
Good video, thank you, three questions, where was the glass while you were removing the door panel ? Do you have to pull it out first before removing the panel ? and also, how does the glass connect to the regulator ?
How do i lock it up. 9ne side the motors busted in front so i have tape holding the loose window up. The passenger side someone leaned on and it only goes down. I cant get it to go up and its like something inside is pulling it down when i try manually pulling it. Please help how can i get them to stay up @PowerUpAuto
After removing the 3 screws 4:22 real time. The panel was still hard to take off. Stil l feels connected. I am working on the front passenger side. Is there something I am missing?
You would also need to remove the outside door handle and the 8mm screw holding the carrier place on and even then you might need to reach inside and pull off that carrier plate
I see all. There is a center post in the rivet. Use a punch to bang out that center past (the mandrel). Then a 1/4" drill bit to carefully drill off the rivets. You can mount the speaker back to the new regulator panel with self tapping screws.
@@random019010 I got a new regulator so in my case I had to move it from the old one to the new one in order to have a speaker in that door panel. If you are just replacing the motor then no.
Hyundai Elantra Touring 2010. I just replaced the plastic clips that were broken for the second time. Now I'm having a hard time putting the window cable the same as before.
Time stamp 15:20. Sometimes one of the clips might not be on the glass but inside where the glass should go. You should be able to get your hand inside to feel that the glass is inside the clips before tightening them down.
The lock cylinder screw that is behind the little black cap on the door latch side. How in the hell did you get that screw back in? I got it out by loosening it with needle nose pliers and removing it the rest of the way with a magnetic 8mm socket. Can't see getting it back in with a needle nose without it falling down into the door as It goes in at an angle. Any ideas? Would like to get my wife's Hyundai out of my shop.
Very good video showing the front of the product. However, I'm not sure how to fasten the glass to the regulator. You never showed the back side of the item and how it attaches to the glass. Any help there would be appreciated. Thanks, Kelley
How did you get the inner handle base to come off? I couldn't get mine off so I just replaced the regulator assy without re-hooking up the base support.
What about the regulators like you have here? One side of the regulator brackets have a window clip, the other bracket is just a plastic piece with a hole in it with no window clip. How is the window supposed to stay?
@@PowerUpAuto ok, mines came like that today. Only one side has a glass clip with a screw in it, and the other side was just a white plastic piece with a hole in it. Unless I'm missing the other window clip in the package, I don't see how to take one from my damaged regulator and attach it to the new one, if that's what I'm supposed to do 🤷🏾♂️😅

My 08 Elantra only driver's window works other 3 windows Don't, at the master switch or at the doors I checked the three 25 amp fuses and the 10 amp LH tail fuse,,, is this telling me my master switch is bad?
The part he skipped, you have to unscrew the outside handle screw, 3 screws for the latch and one for the keyhole. Then the outside handle has a little plastic tab you press and the whole door handle comes out. Took a whole hour to figure this out.
As you've probably already found out, you can expect to drop about 4-500 bucks for this piece of shit. And tear the entire door apart to replace it. What a sorry fucking design.
@@PowerUpAuto Don't know about that person but just speaking for myself, a complete novice, would've been helpful to have been able to see ALL the work you were doing, there was too much I couldn't see. For any other novices out there, I take lots of pics before I take something apart so I can refer to them if I need to and I also, sometimes, put strips of that blue painting tape w a note written on it as to what was plugged into a certain bit to help make sure I put things back in the right spot.
Dealer will charge you a fortune. Probably about triple for the part that you can get on line. I get my stuff from Rock Auto. Clearance regulators $25 to $35 and motors $25 to $45 for the car that I am looking for. never had any problems with any part I have ever got from them. I bet dealer charges you 400 bucks, maybe more.
To anyone scrolling looking for an easier way...DO NOT. Take the lock assy out, and dont be scared.
Why do u say do not? When this guy said do?

if there is a small gap easiest fix would be just life the glass in the clips a bit and retighten. Should solve the problem.
Excellent video. Thank you!
I wish you would have showed us how you put that white carrier plate back on 😂
It just spins about 1/4 turn clockwise to come off. So, to reattach it to the inner panel with the window track, just line up the circle on the back side of the panel with the corresponding hole on the white plate and turn it 1/4 turn counter clockwise to lock it in place.
@@codycevering2733 wish it was that easy. Does the door handle need to come off as well? and how?

Are the regulators the same for either the 2 door coupe or the 4 door Elantra?
Not at all

Great video.. 🙏
Great video was a big help just wondering how do I get the window back in ? The slots is confusing.
Not sure what you refer to. Glass only goes in one way.
Question. Do i do all this with the window down or up?
you will need to unhook the glass from the regulator and put it up.
I just need to know how to get the window to stay up. I cant buy a window regulator right now and my window cant be down all the time. How did you temp fix it in the up position???
Put the glass up and drill a hole just below the cross bracket. Put in a screw, unplug the motor, and you’re good
I’m trying soo hard to unscrew the bolt that is attached to the window !! I need to buy the tool to remove it
10mm socket?
How much did it cost for the part you replaced? And we’re did you order it from ? Thanks
My motor reg okay, window became detached n dropped only , looks complicated . Great stuff
My track does not move but I hear it , my window fell down and I had to hand pull it up and tape it to stay up, trying to find videos to help me with that. ANy ideas?
Yeah, take it to the dealer!
@@texaswithfamily9553 mine did the same thing. Using tape as well until the weather is cooler to even attempt to fix it.
Was this a 6 pin or 2 pin assembly?
Neither, just reuse the original window motor
Good video, thank you, three questions, where was the glass while you were removing the door panel ? Do you have to pull it out first before removing the panel ? and also, how does the glass connect to the regulator ?
Those are good questions I am trying to fix this myself right now I have you come up with anything?
You will remove the 10mm bolts that hold the glass (TS 1:98). You do not need to remove the glass, just lock it up

@@PowerUpAutois that orange thing you have on the window.a window lock?
Hi there, thank you for the video. I saw a window regulator with 4 rivets aside, can you tell me what are those for?
Probably attach the rails to the regulator plate. Nothing you need to remove
@@PowerUpAuto They are to reattach the speaker to the regulator plate
@@josephstriano8007 After we drill those out we reattach the speaker to the new regulator with self tapping screws
@@PowerUpAuto You are correct. Self tapping screws will work but the rivets the regulator comes with are to reattach the speaker to the new regulator.
After removing the 3 screws 4:22 real time. The panel was still hard to take off. Stil l feels connected. I am working on the front passenger side. Is there something I am missing?

Will Korea made regulator work on US Built Elantra?
I think so, but don't sue me if I'm wrong
My first time and it was easy.
On the off chance you see this. How did you remove the speaker? Did you have to use a special tool to remove the rivets?
I see all. There is a center post in the rivet. Use a punch to bang out that center past (the mandrel). Then a 1/4" drill bit to carefully drill off the rivets. You can mount the speaker back to the new regulator panel with self tapping screws.
@@PowerUpAuto thanks for the advice.
Do you 100% need to take out the speaker
@@random019010 I got a new regulator so in my case I had to move it from the old one to the new one in order to have a speaker in that door panel. If you are just replacing the motor then no.
hi, what would you recommend for labor time charge? meaning hrs?
Takes about 45 minutes
@@PowerUpAuto great, thanks a lot.
if the motor goes bad, can you just replace that 1 part without having to remove the regulator and all those harnesses ?
Yes, but the motor is not usually the problem
Hyundai Elantra Touring 2010.
I just replaced the plastic clips that were broken for the second time.
Now I'm having a hard time putting the window cable the same as before.
Thank you for taking the time to do video,edit and upload lots of work.
good job!!
My pleasure!
I would have loved to see how the window glass snaps into both track clips and stays on. Mines will not stay STUCK and keeps falling off track
Time stamp 15:20. Sometimes one of the clips might not be on the glass but inside where the glass should go. You should be able to get your hand inside to feel that the glass is inside the clips before tightening them down.
also, make sure you LIGHTLY spray some wd-40 on the 2 vertical run channels the glass travels in.

Steady hand and a magnetic socket set available at Harbor Freight Tools for about $10
put some black tape in your socket before screwing it back in. the black tape should hold it in the socket.

Not necessary

We get these from Hyundai. Stop by your local dealer
alright thanks
Post the link to the regulator

What is after you put the window down and you still can’t see the 10 mm bolts that you have to see to loosen and remove
Watch the video again. There are 2 access holes to get to the bolts
