Thanks for posting this, A1. I recently replaced the drivers' side regulator on my '04 Marauder, and this video was extremely helpful. Since the specific sizes weren't mentioned, I used 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch stainless screws for the door related parts, and 1/4-20 x 1 inch for the window. I also used a piece of 5/4" deck board cut to 17" in length to position under the window when the old regulator was in place, which helped make it easier to hold in place while knocking out the rivets.
Replaced the drivers side window regulator on my 98 Ford Crown Victoria in 1.5 hours with these easy to follow instructions! Used (2) 1/4'' - 20 x 1'' round head combo machine screws for the window and 1/4'' - 20 x 5/8'' round head combo machine screws for the rest. 1/4'' - 20 Nylon Lock Nuts and 1/4'' x 1 1/4'' Fender Washers secured everything. Lubed up the channels with spray silicone and lubed up the regulator with white lithium grease. Thank you 1AAuto for your help!
I loved this video. I had to change mine out in a Mercury and this video was what I needed. Really not that hard( with a little patience). I also bought the part from these people and the price was good and it shipped fast..Will do business with them again.
Great instructive video. I had to get my “08” Grand Marquis back from my Caregiver. Sadly, I’ve got to do allot of repairs to make that car Nice again! And the L.F. Regulator is now bad. I’ve done these over the years. But, I have a brain injury that’s progressing. And you’d be surprised the SIMPLE things that just aren’t there anymore… So, Thank you for the refresher:-)
Great video, very informative. Procedure is a LITTLE bit different on my 2006 Grand Marquis but the basics are the same. Was worried a bit about striking out the two rivet pins that hold the window glass but everything went smoothly. Just be sure the punch is lined up to drive straight in and through, if you angle the punch sideways at all you're wasting your striking energy. Check after every hit to make sure you're still centered. Most of the rivets spun while drilling them out, I used pliers on the backside rivet strands to keep it still, or drilled until it spun and then hit the top of them with a chisel, they popped right out. Was able to re-use my original motor, as it was just the wire that jumped track on its spindle and got messed up. On my 06 the glass MUST come out in order to pull back the top of the regulator and clear the two threaded posts away from the door. When removing the glass, push the front end down first, then angle it to come out the INSIDE of the window frame, not the outside. When replacing the glass, I draped a microfiber cloth over the door and down over the top of the regulator, so I wouldn't scratch the tinted glass during replacement. Also had to remove the three rivets on the door handle plate (the door rod connects to it) so I could get to the rivet holding the glass, closest to the front of the car. Used half-inch long bolts for everything but the glass, that took 1" long bolts, nylock nuts on all of them. Hope that all made sense. Not too terribly difficult to complete, but I hope I don't need to do it again anytime soon. Thanks for the video, it really did help by giving me an idea of exactly whats inside there.
Outstanding video -- exactly what I needed to see. ... This gives me a whole new respect for the techs/mechanics who do this for a living. It also makes me feel better (a little, anyway) about the cost of having repairs done at the local service shop or dealer. ... My 2003 Marquis (in my family since it was new on the showroom floor) needs this particular window repair done -- for the third time in 12-plus years and 109,000 miles of good service. ... Must be a basic design flaw with this car/model. ... Thanks for posting this video, which is the best how-to video I've seen. (May 13, 2015)
This video is excellent. Just replaced a regulator in a '97 Crown Vic in no time at all because there was no guesswork. Just like having a mechanical mentor! Top notch job my sincere thanks to the folks a 1AAuto!
Non handyman here, but thanks to your instructions I was able to get inside and at least "work" the window all the way up (and at this point I'll leave it that way). Thanks for posting this video.
I'm 21, and while my dads a mechanic, I have absolutely no mechanical knowledge beyond tinkering with my guitar. This video was super helpful as a dude with no mechanical knowledge! Thank you!
Bought my Regulator from 1AAuto due to this video. Thank you!! Only main issues I had was getting window back in the track. Mostly hand position and movement. and then It wasn't smooth. Loosened bottom bolts, loosened 11mm nuts, loosened window. Ran it up and down a few times. and then re-tightened in reverse order and everything is awesome. Minus me scratching my tint. whoops. While I had my door apart, I fixed the power door lock, the mount rivet broke long ago. It was tricky to get the nut on the inside and Philips head on the outside.. but I managed... LOL Thanks again!!!
Hey, if at least one thing doesn't go wrong you start to wonder if you're even doing it right. Glad it all worked out for you in the end. Thanks for watching! 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Normally replacing the entire window regulator would be the way to go. Attempting to just replace the cables can become increasingly time consuming if you have not done them before as well as sourcing new parts can be difficult.
Ok I got my power window regulator for the front pass and drivers windows from 1A Auto. Followed the video. I was dreading the job but everything went great. The video was very helpful. The whole thing took about 3 hrs for both windows. I am very happy and saved over $600 by doing it myself. Thanks 1A Auto
Thanks for checking us out Ron. If you could leave a review for us it would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to our review section on Reseller Ratings. Have a great day! www.resellerratings.com/store/1A_Auto_Parts
This thing fought me tooth and nail from start to finish, but I finally got the old one out and the new one in. I feel like wearing the old regulator around my neck like a trophy of my slain enemy, a worthy foe. Also a short poem to the Ford Motor company...ahem: Roses are red. Violets are blue. Ford why the hell do you put rivets in your damn window regulators. 🤬
Thanks for the great video!!! My radio was stolen, broken glass, and you showed how to replace the window so clearly, thanks so much! Would've been stumped with the rivets without your tip on drilling them out. Thanks!!!!
Thank you again, I since finish the job, no sooner got it fix's, when the back one went out. I was able to put what I learned from your video, to do the back window. This week, I had to do a 77 camaro driver side door for my girlfriend. It was easy...Thank you again. Bobby
I love your video here, I watched it over and over for new ideas, insights & inspiration. I know I could not have changed out the regulator without it. I got an aftermarket replacement regulator and had to partly bend it to fit right. That was after the first regulator failed right after installing. 2 comments. Personally, I'd recommend that all the fasteners be installed a tad bit loosely and before snugging them up, do a quick test of the windows up/down operation to see if any binds or such are there. Then, tighten up all the nuts/bolts. comment 2, the introduction is so exceedingly loud compared to the rest of the video. Is there some way to set the volume to the same level throughout. But truely, overall, a really fantastic video! Thank you for doing it, an the others too . DL

This video was awesome!!! The only issue I had was how tight the window was going back in until it got into the tracks. It seemed 'stuck'. Otherwise I couldn't imagine better instructions, and the job was done in 90 minutes. Thanks again for a great video!!!
Just fixed my window. Thanks so much for the video. I just ordered the power door lock actuator from you for my next project...for which you have already kindly posted a video
Great video details step by step!! however I also have an issues with Grand Marquis 2001 with my voltage battery gauge reading very low but alternator was fine and working and tested. battery is fully charged also.. what could that be may I ask?
Great !!!!...Cold here in Kent Ohio. I have to do some work on my 96 Crown Vic. I am sure glad I saw you first..Thank you !.......................Bobby
It could be. You may want to take the door panel off and inspect the window regulator to see if it's working properly. Also take a look at the window motor.
I have begun to replace the window regulator and when I drilled one of the rivets out of the window the white round plastic piece where the rivet was located broke. The window is not damaged...I was wondering what that piece is called and if you carry that part?
I have to put on of these in the passenger side door of my Mercury grand marquis, this was very helpful, wish me luck, I'm going to use pop rivets instead of bolts
thanks for the video. Could I swap harnesses say front to rear , if its a switch issue, and be able to use the front again?. I relealize the rear will now not work but I need the front more. Temporary solution?
+TheDrewks Thanks for watching. If you would like to leave us a review on our Facebook page here is a link to it. Have a great day! facebook.com/1AAuto/reviews/
I just did this today. Use 1/4 inch fasteners. I used 2 1/4 inch rivets for the bottom 2 holes on the regulator, and 2 1/4 inch x 1 inch fasteners with lock nuts on the window, as my rivets were too short. Hope this helps!
My window tilts forward when coming upwards, so when it gets close to the top I must stop, tilt the window back, then roll it up the last 1"-2". Is this a regulator issue or a different part? I will gladly buy whatever is needed from you guys after seeing your great video. I was dreading it but not after seeing how easy it will be, especially after seeing the comments of how non mechanics were finding it fairly easy to accomplish. Thanks for your time.
+Nerv Mrc You may want to check where the window attatches to the window regulator to see if it has become loose, which may be causing this issue. 1aauto.com
I will check that out and hopefully that is the problem. If not, it is nice to know you guys are there to send me a new window regulator!!! I really like the quality of your video's by the way.
Wow. Thanks for the video. Thanks for great prices on parts. Stuff like this is great for when you have to work on a Ford.....built Ford tough to work on. Geez. Rivets? Fire the bean counters!
Well, I have watched this video a few times and stopped and rewound to go over certain areas. I have been out to my car, and with pin punch and hammer in hand I have punched the pin out of the rivets at the base of the regulator, but the force it took to do this does make me question driving those pins out of the window anchor points. As I watch you do this, it doesn't seem that you are using the force that I need to get these pins to move. Could you elaborate on this a little and explain the force needed to drive those pins back? Thanks. Great site and good info. Bill
This is a question for the guy who changed the regulator. I have a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS that my Dad left to me in his will. The driver side window quit working. Do you think that this video will be a sufficient for changing the regulator in a 2004?
Great video very informing, I have a question, I ordered a new window for the drivers side front, the old piece doesn't have any holes, but the new piece is longer and has holes at the bottom, is there a kit or something for these holes to fit on to the regulator?
Thank you for watching! They should be a plug and play deal. You might want to contact the company you got the glass from to double check and make sure you received the correct one. 888-844-3393
Maybe too late. I used 1/4-20 course thread with nylon locking nuts. 1/2" on every thing and 3/4" on the Window itself. while I was in there, I added 1/2" bolt nylon nut to my power door lock. That was a bit nuts to get the nut In right spot. so yay window works and power lock works again.
I'm sure badge57 has his done, but for anybody else facing this - it depends on the size drill you use to remove the rivets. I used a 1/4" bit. It fit perfectly, and didn't open the existing holes. So I would have been able to go back in with 1/4-20 nuts and bolts. But the AC Delco regulator motor assembly that I purchased came with hardware -- 6mm, to be exact.
For anyone else that ask this, I used 1/4" x 1/2" bolts for everything that bolts to the door and 1/4 x 1" for the glass. Use nylock nuts and skip the lock washers.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this particular repair on a 1991 Crown Vic. We'll keep this request in mind during any repairs that we may make in the future to this vehicle.
Great Video, 1A.......took me 6 hours to pull assembly out, taped up the 'UP' wire near motor......also, a 'BIG thanks to the mechanic who repaired the door due to an accident 8 months ago........tip: use electrical tape around the motor then lay cable & tape over that..........the mechanic did not do that............Jimmy

In the video you stated that your window could still be powered down, but if not just manually roll it down, but how do you do that when it is fully closed? Thanks
All of the components are okay except the cables, Can you replace the cables alone or is it just easier and more cost effective to replace the whole regulator?
My window was stuck in the down position. It wouldn't budge so I couldn't get to the two rivets holding the window to the lower end of the carriage. I ended up removing the two 11mm nuts on the bolts at the top of the carriage. I could push it in far enough to get a hacksaw blade in to cut the bolts off. With the inside window trim removed there was room to lift the window and carriage up so I could get to the lower rivets.
Hello. so about a week ago some people smashed the windows on my 1989 ford crown Victoria. they completely smashed the front, rear, front right window, and the back right windows. I'm just wondering approximately how much would each cost? (not including taking it into a body shop)
I had a new motor and regulator installed on the front passenger side of my 2005 Grand Marquis, the window will go down, but not up..... Replaced the master switch and the window is still stuck in the down position. all other windows work except the front passenger. I have no idea what to do. Is it possible that the wires are bad? Please advise
You may want to test the power going to the window regulator motor when the switch is pressed in both the up and down positions. If there's power to the motor when the switch is pressed in both directions, it may be an issue with the window motor. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
are the same "tools needed" for the 94 crown vic? i am only going to replace the motor, and what brand motor do you recommend? i dont wanna have to do this any time soon although all 3 window motors are out! only the passenger side works
1A. I have a 97 Marquis. Drivers side window won't ascend or descend, yet I can hear the motor running inside the door and the window appears to be bouncing. What approach should I take first?
Right now I Just Want To Get My window up but I Tried To Pull It Up With My Hands but the window Hard To Move How Do I Get The Window to move help.... I Have A 2006 grand marquis Ls
Mike, my regulator is fine but my window moves. If you grab it from each end and move it, it moves like it's pivoting on something in the middle, or something on the sides is loose. Any ideas?
This video gives me the impression that mercurys were built a little better than crown Vics…. Can any marquis owners concur? Maybe I’ll pay the extra for one…
+2wheelsonly cruiser Thank you for your order. I'm not sure on the exact size, you should be able to get some small ones that fit from your local hardware store.

You can buy it in a spray can at your local auto parts store. If the weatherstrip is dry it will help your window to glide a lot easier and faster. Hope this helps you out 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
how did you know out the bits that held the window.. i have a 1999 grand marquis and i cant knock them out.. the bar that makes the window go up and down is too lose for me to bang on with a hammer. it might brake off
My mom has a 94 grand Marquis, replaced the switches and when you hit the up/down there is a laboring sound. Window doesn't move at all. The same goes for passenger side.could it be A) bad motor B) bad regulator C) bad motor and regulator

readjusted track of regulator on which the window rides on. moved the top of regulator bar by unbolting the 2 top bolts(11mm) down towards to rear of door. Glass now does not ride above the top of the window frame and does not stick above the window frame. 2 hours from begin to end of installation of door panel and necessary adjustment.

Thanks for posting this, A1. I recently replaced the drivers' side regulator on my '04 Marauder, and this video was extremely helpful.
Since the specific sizes weren't mentioned, I used 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch stainless screws for the door related parts, and 1/4-20 x 1 inch for the window.
I also used a piece of 5/4" deck board cut to 17" in length to position under the window when the old regulator was in place, which helped make it easier to hold in place while knocking out the rivets.
Replaced the drivers side window regulator on my 98 Ford Crown Victoria in 1.5 hours with these easy to follow instructions! Used (2) 1/4'' - 20 x 1'' round head combo machine screws for the window and 1/4'' - 20 x 5/8'' round head combo machine screws for the rest. 1/4'' - 20 Nylon Lock Nuts and 1/4'' x 1 1/4'' Fender Washers secured everything. Lubed up the channels with spray silicone and lubed up the regulator with white lithium grease. Thank you 1AAuto for your help!

I have to put on of these in the passenger side door of my Mercury grand marquis, this was very helpful, wish me luck, I'm going to use pop rivets instead of bolts
Great video series, I've learned a lot from watching them! Thank you
thanks for the video. Could I swap harnesses say front to rear , if its a switch issue, and be able to use the front again?. I relealize the rear will now not work but I need the front more. Temporary solution?
Thank you for making this and all of your other videos. They have helped me immensely!
+TheDrewks Thanks for watching. If you would like to leave us a review on our Facebook page here is a link to it. Have a great day! facebook.com/1AAuto/reviews/
Done!
I just did this today. Use 1/4 inch fasteners. I used 2 1/4 inch rivets for the bottom 2 holes on the regulator, and 2 1/4 inch x 1 inch fasteners with lock nuts on the window, as my rivets were too short. Hope this helps!
+CREATINELUSTER Thank you for your feedback!
My window tilts forward when coming upwards, so when it gets close to the top I must stop, tilt the window back, then roll it up the last 1"-2". Is this a regulator issue or a different part? I will gladly buy whatever is needed from you guys after seeing your great video. I was dreading it but not after seeing how easy it will be, especially after seeing the comments of how non mechanics were finding it fairly easy to accomplish. Thanks for your time.
+Nerv Mrc You may want to check where the window attatches to the window regulator to see if it has become loose, which may be causing this issue. 1aauto.com
I will check that out and hopefully that is the problem. If not, it is nice to know you guys are there to send me a new window regulator!!! I really like the quality of your video's by the way.
Thank you, saved a lot of time.
Wow. Thanks for the video. Thanks for great prices on parts. Stuff like this is great for when you have to work on a Ford.....built Ford tough to work on. Geez. Rivets? Fire the bean counters!
Very good explanation, thanks for saving me some dough!
DeezyJB That's our goal. We're glad we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Well, I have watched this video a few times and stopped and rewound to go over certain areas. I have been out to my car, and with pin punch and hammer in hand I have punched the pin out of the rivets at the base of the regulator, but the force it took to do this does make me question driving those pins out of the window anchor points. As I watch you do this, it doesn't seem that you are using the force that I need to get these pins to move. Could you elaborate on this a little and explain the force needed to drive those pins back?
Thanks.
Great site and good info.

This is a question for the guy who changed the regulator. I have a 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis LS that my Dad left to me in his will. The driver side window quit working. Do you think that this video will be a sufficient for changing the regulator in a 2004?
I appreciate that, thanks a good video, gives me confidence that I needed ,thanks
Thanks again Mike. You made a nightmare into a dream.
How about removing them from a 1991 Crown Victoria?...Do you have any info on this? Great video and thank you for posting this!
what size bolts did you replace the rivets with? for some reason it wont load the replies for the person who already asked.
10mm
Your Crown Victoria, should be the same removal process as shown in this power window regulator video.
Great video very informing, I have a question, I ordered a new window for the drivers side front, the old piece doesn't have any holes, but the new piece is longer and has holes at the bottom, is there a kit or something for these holes to fit on to the regulator?
Thank you for watching! They should be a plug and play deal. You might want to contact the company you got the glass from to double check and make sure you received the correct one.

Could you tell me what size are the bolts and nuts ???.........................Thank you bobby
Maybe too late. I used 1/4-20 course thread with nylon locking nuts. 1/2" on every thing and 3/4" on the Window itself.
while I was in there, I added 1/2" bolt nylon nut to my power door lock. That was a bit nuts to get the nut In right spot. so yay window works and power lock works again.
I'm sure badge57 has his done, but for anybody else facing this - it depends on the size drill you use to remove the rivets. I used a 1/4" bit. It fit perfectly, and didn't open the existing holes. So I would have been able to go back in with 1/4-20 nuts and bolts. But the AC Delco regulator motor assembly that I purchased came with hardware -- 6mm, to be exact.
For anyone else that ask this, I used 1/4" x 1/2" bolts for everything that bolts to the door and 1/4 x 1" for the glass. Use nylock nuts and skip the lock washers.
All the nuts and bolts were included with mine from 1A Auto
Did you find out what size the bolts are?
Best video ever, really helpfull thank you
Does a replacement window seal exist for these? Mine will stall out in the last 2-3 inches, seems temperature dependent.
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows this particular repair on a 1991 Crown Vic. We'll keep this request in mind during any repairs that we may make in the future to this vehicle.
Great Video, 1A.......took me 6 hours to pull assembly out, taped up the 'UP' wire near motor......also, a 'BIG thanks to the mechanic who repaired the door due to an accident 8 months ago........tip: use electrical tape around the motor then lay cable & tape over that..........the mechanic did not do that............Jimmy

In the video you stated that your window could still be powered down, but if not just manually roll it down, but how do you do that when it is fully closed? Thanks
I figured out that you have to take the motor off of the regulator
What size screws and bolts are you using
Excellent video. A great help. Thanks for the help!
+Larry Nunya Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com
what size bolts /nuts to use instead of rivets? TIA?
this is the best video ever !.
sooo detail'd too :)
All of the components are okay except the cables, Can you replace the cables alone or is it just easier and more cost effective to replace the whole regulator?
Excellent, excellent video. Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching!

My window was stuck in the down position. It wouldn't budge so I couldn't get to the two rivets holding the window to the lower end of the carriage. I ended up removing the two 11mm nuts on the bolts at the top of the carriage. I could push it in far enough to get a hacksaw blade in to cut the bolts off. With the inside window trim removed there was room to lift the window and carriage up so I could get to the lower rivets.

Can you give me the size of the replacement bolts and nuts I will need to buy at hardware store thank you
Hello. so about a week ago some people smashed the windows on my 1989 ford crown Victoria. they completely smashed the front, rear, front right window, and the back right windows. I'm just wondering approximately how much would each cost? (not including taking it into a body shop)
I had a new motor and regulator installed on the front passenger side of my 2005 Grand Marquis, the window will go down, but not up..... Replaced the master switch and the window is still stuck in the down position. all other windows work except the front passenger. I have no idea what to do. Is it possible that the wires are bad? Please advise
You may want to test the power going to the window regulator motor when the switch is pressed in both the up and down positions. If there's power to the motor when the switch is pressed in both directions, it may be an issue with the window motor. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
If it was attached to the window is may be a sash connector.
You're welcome.Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
It took me more than an hour to switch my driver window!
are the same "tools needed" for the 94 crown vic? i am only going to replace the motor, and what brand motor do you recommend? i dont wanna have to do this any time soon although all 3 window motors are out! only the passenger side works
Awesome and detailed
+CJFilms1001 Thanks for checking us out!
Thanks a lot great vid.
Where can I find the inner weatherstrip?
What would be a reasonable price for replacing the regulators on the 2 front windows?
I love your videos. But some of the more intricate work needs better visibility
1A. I have a 97 Marquis. Drivers side window won't ascend or descend, yet I can hear the motor running inside the door and the window appears to be bouncing. What approach should I take first?
What size nut and bolts replaced the rivets?
Just ordered your window regulator with motor.
+Kblisto38 Hello, The size of the hardware would depend on the size of the drill bit you will need to remove the rivets. Thank you! 1AAuto.com
@@1AAuto
Got the window regulator in today from you 1A Auto. It came with the nuts and bolts.
THANKS...💯
Hi, What size was the screws ? Thanks
Right now I Just Want To Get My window up but I Tried To Pull It Up With My Hands but the window Hard To Move How Do I Get The Window to move help.... I Have A 2006 grand marquis Ls
jayvonte young did you get it up?
NICE VIDEO
Mike, my regulator is fine but my window moves. If you grab it from each end and move it, it moves like it's pivoting on something in the middle, or something on the sides is loose. Any ideas?
You may want to take a look at the cable and see if it's caught on something and needs to be freed up.
This video gives me the impression that mercurys were built a little better than crown Vics…. Can any marquis owners concur? Maybe I’ll pay the extra for one…
Great video! Just make sure the child window lock is not on when you test the new motor.
how many screws and wat size replace the rivets?I just ordered the regulator from u.
+2wheelsonly cruiser Thank you for your order. I'm not sure on the exact size, you should be able to get some small ones that fit from your local hardware store.

Is the process the same for the rear windows?
I have attached a link below that can be used to reference when replacing the rear regulators:

hope this helps you out!
+Richard Weinert
Not sure if its my regulator or the button,but i cant even get my window to come up by hand to get to the other steps,any tricks?? 2004 P71
You can buy it in a spray can at your local auto parts store. If the weatherstrip is dry it will help your window to glide a lot easier and faster. Hope this helps you out 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
how did you know out the bits that held the window.. i have a 1999 grand marquis and i cant knock them out.. the bar that makes the window go up and down is too lose for me to bang on with a hammer. it might brake off
If you follow this video you shouldn't have any trouble making the repair.
My mom has a 94 grand Marquis, replaced the switches and when you hit the up/down there is a laboring sound. Window doesn't move at all. The same goes for passenger side.could it be
A) bad motor
B) bad regulator
C) bad motor and regulator
How much did you charge for this? I have an 05 and neither of my front windows work and neither does my ac.
Ac could be the blend door not opening. Common problem but it's behind the dash. Huge job. Having regulators replaced isnt really cheap either.
Outstanding!....GRADE A.

is rear track for glass fixed? on powering up the glass veers off rear window frame towards front and then up and over top of window frame(i.e sticks out)..
track or regulator problem for Merc???

readjusted track of regulator on which the window rides on. moved the top of regulator bar by unbolting the 2 top bolts(11mm) down towards to rear of door. Glass now does not ride above the top of the window frame and does not stick above the window frame. 2 hours from begin to end of installation of door panel and necessary adjustment.
