Bro you got a great channel and you deserve way more viewers. I would work on the way you TAG your videos. Your tags are quite week and its preventing the videos from really being seen. If I were you, please tag a moment and watch some youtube videos on improving TAGS. Good luck to you and keep the content coming!
Thanks so much for producing this video! My daughter's CX-7 driver-side window was lowering but chattering and failing to come up. The problem turned out to be broken teeth on the large gear in the motor assembly which I replaced after viewing other videos on RUclips. (Apparently a common Mazda problem...) Nevertheless, your video was superb in showing all the steps needed to access and repair the window mechanism. Folks like you allow us DIY'ers to save so much money.
Mine is doing the same thing what do I need to buy to fix it???
The window regulator with motor.
I'm gonna attempt to do this on my daughter's car. My wife's 2011 Dodge Nitro needs the same repair. I feel confident tackling the job after watching your video. Great content!
Great video! My window was grinding and I had to help it at 3 spots in it's path. I had a pretty good idea of what it was... I had my garage take a look and they told me it would be about $700 to fix. Watching this, I knew I would be able to handle it easily. $65 in parts and 40 min in my driveway later... All better! Thanks again!
👍🏾
Did you buy the regulator and the motor?
Thanks for answering my question so quickly!
You guys are the best!
Stealership wanted $180 for window regulator and $350 for labor. I told them GTFO and followed your video. Got part for $104 at advanced auto. It’s not OEM but it works on my 2011 Mazda. Thanks for the nice video. I love saving money!!!
While installing the window motor it didn't line up right and fooling around with it the next thing I know my regulator became unwound; wires and springs everywhere. After a few hours I managed to put the regulator back together (no easy task) but after that I was lost. This video really saved me! I put everything back together but then the window came off the track and I had to break it down again, but finally I got it right. I kept coming back to this video and watching it again and again. Thanks for making this!
I had the same problem. the regulator is unwound but now couldn't put it together. Would you please share any tricks?
@@prakash77 I also had this problem of the cable coming off of the regulator and am hoping for some tips on rewinding it and securing it into place?
This video was awesome. I created a hand written "cheat sheet" on paper with each step you showed, followed it perfectly, and had a successful and fulfilling result. The only change I'd make would be to install the three self-tapping screws (that secure the motor to the regulator's plastic holes) while the inner panel is still disconnected so you can put enough pressure on the self-tapping screws with the added back-pressure to get them to start digging in. Otherwise a perfect video. Finished the entire process yesterday in less than three hours, taking my time to make sure all was just right. Today it is raining and I have a perfectly functioning window. Thank you very much!
This is probably the best instructional car repair video I have seen. You take your time, explain every step, and show what you're doing. You don't assume anyone knows
where something is or what something does and you take the time to explain. I would say just about anyone could follow along and replace their motor and/or regulator
and save themselves a ton of money in labor costs. Great job! I wish more videos were so easy to follow!
Just finished replacing mine, wonderful tutorial, took me a couple watches and I was ALMOST able to do it from pure memory!
Very clear and informative video! Keep up the great content! Cheers!
Cheers.
This video just helped me replace my wife’s window regulator. Great video! Thank you!
Great video. This is one of those videos that you find when needed and many of the folks below have done. But it's straight to the point and I learned what I needed from it. Great job, and thanks for sharing.
Tony Rivera thanks for watching!
Many Thanks for your excellent video. Definitely the best on utube. Bolts attaching window to regulator came off and window dropped. Thanks to your tutorial I was able to reinstate back to original......Cheers Norm...South Australia.
Grazie mille, con tuo video ho riuscito di aggiustare la mia Mazda, proprio quando in un periodo di vacanza tutte le officine erano chiuse . Sei grande !
Sono contento che tu l'abbia fatto. grazie per averci guardato.
Perfect! Installed with out any problems thanks to this vid.
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for saving me the headache.
1, thanks for the info, Master Jedi 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Life saver!
2, great audio, very clear!!!
Thanks for sharing. Helped me out a lot.
Great video. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for the video. It was a great help!
Thanks, that was a great help for me
Thank you, this is the tutorial I was looking for for replacing my rear row...except I need to replace the whole plastic carrier which broke, so I'll order that.
This really helped. Thanks!
Thank you, nice video quality and sound also a very good explanation on the repair
D from W You’re very welcome.
Excellent tutorial!! Thank you!
Killer video. Ordering my regulators now!
Thanks for the video bro, saved me some coin on a mechanic.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Great video bud!
Awesome- thanks for the video, just changed my regulator👏👍
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for the video bro I just bought one of these and I have to do this
Best video on RUclips. 👍👍👍
Tonino Zamora thanks appreciate that.
Handy Hack! Many of us have the little sucker cups that we used to hold our phones or GPS or whatever kind of gadget to our window while we're driving. I had three of those around the house anyway you can use those two suction cups to hold the window up so you don't have the issue of removing the gum and if he's it from the tape. It works really swell.
Awesome great help thanks bro
Very informative. I also had this problem of the cable coming off of the regulator and am hoping for some tips on rewinding it and securing it into place?
Sorry, you would have to pull it apart to see how you could rewind it. However, most of the time when it rewinds, the pulley gets damaged and cannot be reused.
Thank you
Thanks so much for sharing. Needed this.
Awesome; thanks
That was best explaination. But would cover everything if you has shown the symptom of faulty regulator too.
By the way you forget to put on a philip screw in there.lol
Really appreciated .nice video
Symptom is a clicking or grinding noise as you operate the window switch.
Wow cool
Thanks 🙏
Thank yo soooooo much.
I think I'm going to disassemble mine and see if I can't just replace the broken gear. I found them on Ebay for about 6 bucks. Hopefully the cables aren't jammed and just replacing the gear will do it.
So I was changing out just the window motor and as I was screwing it in I felt the screws push in a bit so I stopped and hung the door panel on the door so I could get a tool to hold the back end in place. I had kept everything attached except the motor as I read many comments that people did this and it was quick and easy. Well, my driveway is on a slant and my door closed and I heard click. It is slightly ajar and won't open or close from the inside or outside. The handles have no resistance when I pull but u can still move the lock button manually a bit, but not fully. I think the door handle cables must have pulled too far even though I just had the panel resting on my knee. Can I fix this without removing the panel? Otherwise I may have to remove the seat to lift the panel again and at that point I'll just take it to the shop.
So, I tried using the inside door handle to pull the cables to unlatch the door to no avail, in fact it would barely budge through the opening. My husband came home from work and at a loss just began locking and unlocking the door using the automatic switch on a different door and then trying to pull the door open. Third time was a charm! Turns out the cables on the back of the inner door handle had slipped out if the notches causing the cable to shorten. Slipped them back in and door is now fixed!
hi, thanks so much for this video, mine goes down fine, but when it goes up, it gets to the top then a loud slipping noise continues, like i would imagine a plastic gear slipping. it continues until i let go of the button. this only happens on the way up.. not the way down. is this the motor? if so, is it possible to do a bodge repair, or will i need to replace it? thanks so much!
The motor is fine most likely. The regulator or the gears are broken most likely. You would need to pull them out to inspect them.
What did you use for tape to hold the window up?
How do you know what position to have the window in when attaching the motor?
Ie. up, down half up?
When you remove the door panel, you will be able to see where the bolt holes are and what position the window needs to be in based on where those holes are at. I go over that in the video.
That clicking or grinding sound as you call it is the gear reduction unit on the motor gone bad. I didn't see where the regulator was bad. At 12:04 you have the old regulator in your hand and it is intact, I have not seen a bad regulator that is still intact with no broken cables or where the gear is not out of the housing with cables hanging and springs released. I am pretty sure you either replaced the motor or replaced the gear in your existing motor to get the window working again. That being said I have to say your video is better than anything else I have seen on here. To anyone that is doing the passenger side please be advised there are 2 screws behind the OH SHIT handle that have to be removed to remove the door panel; there is a cover that pops off with a little attention.
Lori C Looks intact sure but the cables are jammed in the pulley and the plastic gear inside that white pulley is completely stripped. I don’t replace parts just for the fun of it.
I think I'm going to disassemble mine and see if I can't just replace the broken gear. I found them on Ebay for about 6 bucks. Hopefully the cables aren't jammed and just replacing the gear will do it.
I had the same problem, followed the video and replaced the regulator. Ends up Lori is correct. The motor was bad. When I rolled the window up I heard a clicking noise. I bought a new motor on eBay for $20 and will try replacing that. Overall good video. It was a huge help watching it before starting the project.
Great video, but can you just replace the regulator with the window down so you don't have to tape it to stay up? thanks
It will be hard to work behind the vapor barrier when the glass is all the way down. I haven’t done it but you can certainly try.
Does the piece that moves up and down on regulator attach to the clips on the window? Or the clips just will sit on it?
The regulator has clips/notches for the window to sit on. Those are bolted onto the tabs on the bottom of the window.
This saved my car window, now if you could do a video on why the door lock switch doesn't work that would be awesome.
If the switch was operational just recently, then the switch itself is probably bad. Does the passenger side door lock switch work?
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair they only work manually not with the fob but the drivers won't even work manually
Fob battery might be dead. As far as the driver side, most cars won’t lock if the door is open. If you close the door and lock it while sitting inside the car does it work?
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair so I finally got outside and tested the locks. All but the drivers side will lock and unlock using the fob.
Mina McWhorter Bad power lock actuator.
Would happen to know the kind of plastic clips that attach it would be?
blake meadows I’m sorry?
How do you tape it and with what kind of tape?
I just use packaging tape. There is honestly a wedge that will hold the window up too that is less abrasive. Keep in mind that if you do this while it’s hot outside, the tape will leave sticky residue on your paint so just a warning
And I was wondering Kaiser if you have any advice on this matter right and one that owns a 2010 Mazda CX-7 I've also been experiencing experiencing a bit of a problem with the locks and one morning I was trying to unlock it from the outside in the handle comes off what do I need to do about that? please and thank you
I don’t own any but maybe 2 cars on my channel. All other cars are customer’s cars.
You need a new outside door handle I would think if it just fell off.
I might also add that I was watching another video not yours but someone else's the said if it was making that clicking sound that there would be something I guess on the motor in the regulator that has some things broken off of it and that's why it makes that noise is that is that true?
Yes. If this is the case, you could potentially need a motor and a regulator as the plastic gear on the motor could be damaged
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair well firstly outer corner nearest Village of the door came out and then later on the other side the parts that were inside the door there are no discolored or broken pieces or edges that would resemble something that just broke off I just wonder if it wasn't hooked to something as one side one in does have a curves that curves around like it may have been hooked onto something but I guess there's no way to know until I take the panel off or they take time off or something I just didn't know if you'd heard any anything like that in relation to the locks not working correctly to associated with it
On Some CX-7s, there is a couple screws behind the cover of the grab handle.
Hello sir I am texting you regarding my 2010 Mazda CX-7. I have the same problem with both front windows and so I'm trying to get them fixed. I feel positive that I could do it myself but I have no help and so I don't want to screw it up..... so I'm going to have to pay somebody to do it and I was wondering where you got your part. judging by your video apparently since the window does work that I only need the regulator..... am I right? Anywho if you could let me know where you got your part for $80 as this dealership I got a quote from wants to charge me like five times that are maybe more and that's ridiculous. I work at McDonald's (so you can already see I don't have the income to afford that LOL) I'm almost 65 and I really can't afford that... so if you also happen to know somebody out my way in Oklahoma City Oklahoma exactly.....that maybe would take this on as a project.... and besides I'd rather pay them than a stranger. So essentially I was wondering do I really need just the regulator only and where can I get that as cheap as I can get it sincerely yours Cindy. (A not so proud owner of a 2010 Mazda CX-7) lol. Thanks thanks again and I appreciate any help you can provide to me anything at all
I believe the part just came from the local parts store. Also you are correct, if the motor still works, you just need the regulator. This video was a little while ago so you can expect the prices have definitely gone up by now.
Great video. Got a small problem when I was sliding the glass window and lining up the two holes of regulator into the two holes of the window, the window slipped and fell down. So i lifted it back up and screwed to to regulator but now the window slows down when rolling it up and it squeaks and eventually stops a little passed half way. How do i get the window back flush in the track after i get back in the door panel?? Help please. This process stressed me out to begin with but your video did make it easy. I just wish my tape wouldn't have popped off the window when I was slowly bringing it down to align the bolt holes. Should of used stronger tape like duct tape instead of clear packaging tape.
You will just have to take everything apart again to see where the window is going off track.
Have always used clear packing tape. Duct tape can leave sticky stuff on the paint of the car.
@@HelpingHandAutoRepair ok. I need to invest in an impact wrench lol. Makes it so much easier. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks so much for the help.
I’m having issues with being able to move the window side to side it goes up and down fine would this be a similar case to this one?
I’m wondering if I have to replace my regulator? My window goes up and down but the automatic function does not work anymore... meaning it won’t go straight down or straight up automatically.. any recommendations?? Thanks I’m advance ❤️
Probably needs to be recalibrated. You would have to google that process
Or there is something wrong with the switch.
The window is fighting me to go back into place, great video otherwise! Gonna have to keep fighting with it but hopefully it will go back in.
Yea it was definitely a challenge
@Helping Hand Auto Repair I had to fight with it for about 20 min but it finally lined up lol. Again thanks for the video!!
Did it work
Yes
I had to come to a Mazda CX-7 video on replacing the regulator for my RX-8 lol
Lol, well if it worked then more power to ya!
How do I know if it's the motor and not the regulator? Mine it can goes down but when it goes up it stuck a bit and it hears like a crank when spinning but dont goes up
JahazielRmz Motor works. Regulator is damaged.
Thanks I've just realized that is the motor I'm going to order 1 in Amazon its 39 dollar and 109 in auto zone
JahazielRmz to clarify: You need the regulator. Your motor is working fine. In most cases it is just easier to replace the entire unit.
ruclips.net/video/szd_QoicvKo/видео.html
It sounds same like that
Just a heads up. If your window is grinding and getting stuck in place, in one spot every time, yet you can help it up and down to get it to "work" the weak spot in these vehicles is in the motor itself where a plastic/nylon gear strips, not the regulator. I was about to replace the entire regulator and motor and ran across this info. 2 years of helping my window up and down and it took about 20 minutes to fix for like 30 bucks. Should have done it sooner.
Did you replace the motor or just the gears? Thanks.
I replaced the whole thing
Good video, but for me since I don’t have the tools, time, and patience I will just buy the parts and have my mechanic replace the regulator and motor.
how can you tell if its a motor or the regulator??
Amanda Dodd Normally when you press the window switch and you don’t hear anything, the motor is dead. You will usually hear the motor running.
i can press the window button down and the window goes down then doesnt want to go all the way back up and you can push the button up and it makes a noise would that mean its the regulator??
Amanda Dodd well if it goes down and up you know without doubt the motor works. If you hear clicking or grinding noises on the way up you have a bad regulator.
Thanks!!! so much this helps me ALOT!!
You forgot to connect the window to the regulator
Try "remove the bolt" instead of "loosen", for crying out loud!!!!!!
Great Video. Thank you!
I was changing my exterior door handle and now the actuator won’t go back onto the black panel . Any way to make this easier ?
Unfortunately not. It’s a stupid design. You will just have to have a tremendous amount of patience with it.
