How To Fix A Window Regulator.
#WindowRegulator #WindowMotor #CarWindow
In this video I show how I fixed a window that wouldn't roll up anymore. Although the vehicle featured in this video is a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban, the process should be similar for most vehicles whether a car or truck. The window regulator I used for my truck is the Dorman 741-579.

It’s that rainy day for me when it went out 😂
Great video! I just did this job on an 02 Tahoe on the same door as yours on the Tahoe the door is a little smaller. Just one word of caution is to make sure the cables are between the regulator beam and the inside panel of the door. The first time I installed I had the cables between the regulator frame and the outside panel of the door. When I would put the window down it would put quite a bit of tension on the cables. It was agony changing it out being it was about 100 in the shade at the time! The black tape was sticking to everything Lol😂. Always enjoy your videos!
I replaced the regulator on our 02 suburban and 04 duramax. Hardest part was cleaning the dump truck load of dirt and crap out of the doors. Nice job! And you have a lovely assistant.
Your lovely assistant is an absolute doll! You are a lucky man! God Bless y'all!
Haha! 🙏
You have a lot of great skills. I hope you are going to be camping sometime soon. The wifey is a doll. Your a blessed man. Safe travels!
Weird, have the same exact issue with my 00 Burban. Thanks for the info!
@Mick McGrath take it easy there Harvey Weinstein
What😂😭
Now spray your tracks with silicone spray often.
Exactly - but first wash out 25 years of crud and grime.
Used the silicone and it worked great!!
Was going to say the same thing. Also add, before you spray get a nylon brush or tooth brush and scrub the felt lined tracks to get debris out of the channel. Then silicone spray.
I was also going to say silicone spray. Just did that on all my vehicles and the windows move so much more smoothly.
Take off inner door panel pressure wash and srcub and silicone tracks befor replacing parts
2 1Road videos in a week? What a treat!
I don't remember if I've ever commented on any of your videos, but let me take the time now to tell you that I do enjoy them. Thanks!
Thanks for the guidance. Here's a tip to reuse that black sealant. I used my heat gun to heat it up enough to get back that tackiness.
You're a beast, Jimmy! Thank you for posting this. This is a job every burb owner will eventually have to do lol.
She is soooo great! Thanks for sharing your lovely wife with us. That smile....... you are blessed.
Very blessed! Thank you.
You can easily hear that the window still slows down considerably near the top of its range. The first thing to do with a slow or struggling power window is to first clean and then lubricate the rubber gasket window seal all the way around with silicone spray. It can make a major difference. If you had tried that first, you might not have even needed to replace the regulator and saved yourself some money. You can do it to all of your windows as preventative maintenance.
My rubber gasket window seal melted into the door, now it stops working occasionally. Only when it's hot out. Would cleaning it work? There is no motor sound when it fails. It never fails going down.
@@joannaquanttumphysicsI never heard of or encountered a window gasket seal actually melting, to me it sounds like the gasket seal will need to be replaced. Sorry I can't help more than that
I have the exact same issue in my 2003 Suburban, same door and everything. Thanks for the 2003 video!! Keep em coming.
Same on my 95 tahoe
❤ Love this. I have to help fix someone's 2002 Tahoe, and today my 2003 Suburban rear passenger window just got stuck rolling it back up... stuck halfway down. 😁 Video saved, and gonna refer to it as I work on the part change.
Just replaced mines today, thanks!
I like the painter's tape thing. Good tip!
Clean the dirt from the tracks and spray silicone in the side tracks. It will help it even more.
Great video!!
I had the exact problem with my 2004 Silverado 1500. About the simplest (and surprisingly inexpensive) fix I’ve ever done.
Your tutorials are my ‘go to” when working on my truck. Keep up the good work. Thanks!!
Jimmy. Clean the window tracks then lube the tracks with silicone spray. Your new regulator will work much quicker and the window will slide much more easily too.
Yessss, it's the Ferris and Jimmy show! Funny wife gets first billing.
Spary silicone spray in the window tracks about once a year from brand new, and don't hold your button down once the window stops and you won't have a problem.
If the motor is seized you can cut the threaded wires that move the window up and down to manually move the window. Also i saw some people mention silicon spray on the window glass track thats a good tip but don't forget to look down that track and make sure the rubber seal that rides on the glass is not rolled over on itself doubling up the rubber on the glass if that makes any sense.
I wish I had a boyfriend that knows how to do all this. It’s all getting to be so expensive I miss the olden days growing up when we had manual windows lol
Why do all these "window stuck down" videos start with the window all the way up, and no demonstration on how to get the window up before the regulator replacement?
What do I do if my window is stuck all the way down
My 98 Grand Prix does that occasionally and I just open the door , hold the up button and close the door firmly . Works every time and thanks to comments here I will spray lubricant in the track and hope the problem is cured .
I had a regulator go out in Mexico, but it was apparently the cable that time. SEVERAL years later, the motor appears to be the problem, so I bought a new regulator with a motor and will replace it. Not that long ago I repaired the driver's window mechanism and that only took an hour to install and worked perfectly. My Suburban has 320K miles on it and has no issues except some things get old and proper maintenance is important!!!!
Good Job! I miss you guys and your guys Vlogs!
Auto body mechanic here Jimmy i subbed I love it man. Thumbs up great job
I'll be going to the parts store today to give this a try thanks for the video that was very good
Well done, video. You did an excellent job explaining this repair.
BTW: Your wife is a cutie pie!
Glass goes down...glass goes up....glass goes down....glass goes up. Thanks Jimmy.
I used silicone dray spray on window tracks worked well for me. Worth a try.
I love this video , i dont even have a car lol i just love to fix things 😂
I put tow mirror’s on my truck and the passenger side goes up slowly. I loosen the mounting screws and up the window goes. Kinda confused
On the back doors of my Jeep Cherokee, I used some 1/2” pvc pipe to hold up window. Used some tie wraps to hold things in place. It’s old and I don’t care about back doors.
Good job On tbe window job
Nice video, your poor wife "are you trickin me"? They definitely have more fun, just don't confuse them!!
Great video and tips. Mine were slow going up and I just loosed the window and rolled it up and down the tightened the screw and they work good now.
DUDE your wife's cameo was the best part of the video
Good video. Take pictures periodically during the job for reference when you’re putting it back together.
That earned you a kitchen pass or two. Great job
Her bagal is very clean
Just fine. You just removed my excuse for not replacing the motors and regulators on my 03 Suburban. 175k and counting, no way I'd sell it. Thanks.
Good video Jimmy. Everyone with a more than 10 year old vehicle has at least one window acting up. Usually it's the driver's window. Once a year when I lube my truck, I use silicone spray in the window tracks. Sometimes it will even fix the sticking problem you had.
good fix, clean yukon/suburban. i just got a 03 gmc sierra 2500HD 6.0 and the dam thing is clean!!
thanks 😊 bro...I will definitely replace the whole unit...got same issue front driver side..try some lube oil did not work..great video...
You make it look so easy, would your wife let me borrow you so you can fix mine😁😁
I would do the same to my wife friend,good show doors are a pain.
Who was recording when you had your hands working on the window? 🤔🤔🤔
Lol surprise window fix. Wives love that!
Thanks it's getting old out ❤😅
I have an 03 Chevy Tahoe. I just got it 3 months ago. [3/24] My passenger side rear window sometimes goes down on its own. Rear Drivers Side window only goes down 2 - 4 inches.
Also there's a big malfunction in the Drivers Door 8-Button Master Switch. Drivers window works OK, Up/Down, but the Front Passenger side window works about 1/10th of the time. I have to use the Passenger switch.
I will R&R the 8-Button Switch first, then see where that gets me.
Always try to clean them first. The track where the glass meets the rubber. You went straight to the most difficult thing you could do
Thank you for a very informative video, going step by step, explaining even the little things.
That's cool and I have problem with my car
My 2003 Suburban does the exact same thing. I also noticed the cold issue. Btw.. I hope you already replaced your brake lines... I live in Iowa.
They rusted away.
VERY common on these years
I learn something each time I watch your videos.
I had no idea how the window was attached to the regulator.
I didn't know that you could cut the black adhesive on the Weather film. Wish I'd known that years ago.
I didn't know you could buy the motor and regulator together. I've replaced at least a dozen power window motors in my and other people's cars. All with a messy drill out a rivet procedure.
Once again, thanks so much Jimmy
Stop making her crazy. A Chicago wife will thank you, with a lot more projects and deadlines. You're very lucky/skilled. Now do a video on how to MAINTAIN window tracks so they don't bind up. How do you spray/clean the rollers while installed?
I hear it bogging down near same spot. Need to lube it well as your are going to have same issue in couple years. You may have a upper frame slightly out on the door. To test shut door, if bogging then space the top of door slightly out. Use cardboard to do this. If it clears up you need to have body shop take a look.
Also keep in mind, if you had the engine running the window would go up much quicker.
Same issue on my 2002 Suburban - same door and everything. Not sure I’ll take the time to fix it though as the body is starting to look pretty bad and the window does work most of the time
Happy wife, happy life!
I sprayed my window tracks with dry silicone lube and it seemed to fix the issue.
Wow! Thank you for this video. Thought they were more expensive.
Wife approved 👌 🙌 👍
Good job jimmy see you next time nice wife she approve the repairs lol
When the regulator binds up too much, the plastic pulleys will break. I had one regulator break, and window would not stay up. Replaced both motor and regulator on both rear doors on my Tahoe.
Before you do any of that make sure the window is not off its track like mine was.
how do u check for that
Can you do it without taking anything off like just looking at the window track from the outside
You sure did gloss over the hardest part. The "shimmeying ans patience" part of removing and reinstalling the part. Why not record all of that and then time lapse/fast forward thru it? At least then we would be able to slow it down and see how it's done.
All the window button/locking button assemblies on all the doors of my 95 Yukon have become brittle and break easily whenever I work on the doors.
But yes,, the front passenger window is doing what yours is doing. Thanks for this video.
100% Agreed!
Dorman good luck. I personally have would have went with a ACDELCO one just for the fact that Dorman has a bad track record.
Escalade 04 here. Same issue!
Yup, it just started snowing too
Great job !
Thanks, surprisingly interesting.....though actually I have a 🐫GMC 2007 Canyon with Manuels, *& 2015 DODGE Journey & Windows work perfect ( so far).....! Good job,
Love the end
That's not a simple fix buddy!!!
😂
just subscribed, very helpfull and good content , God bless you, thanks from Brazil.
Hey I'm in this problem right now on all 5 door the Gmc envoy
Title should not be simple fix, should be to change regulator lol
Jimmy you and your wife are fantastic.
On my 2006 chevrolet silverado both my back windows was acting up and I found a place A-1 auto online and got 2 new motors and tracks for 100 and shipped to me under a week
Hey I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAN PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO EXPLAINING EVERYTHING ABOUT WHEN TO USE TOW HAUL AND HOW TO USE ON SUBURBANS? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND A VIDEO ON IT BUT THERE ARE NONE! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. THANKS GOD BLESS🙏🏼 LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
I'd also spray the window tracks with a little silicone spray so the glass slides smoothly.
I remember when both the rear regulators went out on my crew cab Silverado. I remember before I was able to fix them, I had to hold the window up with duct tape.
I have a 2000 suburban and I'm having that same
Thanks
Stay Safe
Great video again Jimmy
Bet goodjob
Spray some silicone spray in the window frame lubricate where the window slides in the rubber track
Is that the official way to lube those tracks?
@@1RoadGarage Silicon spray lubes won't harm the material used on those tracks, so I would recommend this too. Plus, Scotty said so lol
Thank you Jimmy 😁😁😍😍😍
I had a metal piece that fell out the top of the door and have no idea where it goes is there anyway I can send u a photo of it and maybe you'll have an idea
My window is stuck in the open/down position. Good thing its summer
Regulator motor is toast. The new assembly you bought will fix that problem.
So curious to see what went wrong with the regulator. Maybe just needed lube on the moving parts or wiring connection isn't fully engaged (green corrosion) causing too much resistance therefore not sending full current to the motor.
Yes
My window don’t go up today. I am trying to look for some easy fix. Wow This is lots of work. I won’t be able to do it 😢
Okay, so... What do you do when this happens right after the auto parts stores close?
Spray the tracks with silicone first before you throw parts at it. Mine froze up in the middle of a cold streak. Brrrr... Silicone worked.
All 4 of my windows regulators are broken and I can’t find any that are cheaper than $200 for a 2016 Kia Optima 😞 mechanic said this is a common problem with my make and model but they haven’t recalled it
During my 34 years on the spanners, I never worked with stunning assistants. They were mostly balding old men with greasy overalls and smelling like burnt engine oil.😦
I send my kind regards to yourself and your assistant, and please tell her; she has made a happy man very old.😃❤
Are all these motors/regulators the same for an SUV? Is it easy to go buy one yourself?
