Here's the problem.... My windows go up very slowly... Are they going out, or do they need to be greased?

If they are going out.... where is the best place to get them.. The dealer said that it is a whole set up.. motor, regulator, cables, etc... Dealer cost $95 per side. That's tooooo much..

Do you have to replace everything or just the motor?

Is the job difficult? I've done many different vehicles in the past and hated everyone.

Thanks

 

I hadn't replaced a window regulator since the last century, back in '89. It wasn't too bad in my truck (the cable broke), but they sure are a lot cheesier than the old gear and arm style.
Mine is manual, and I think that even if you could replace just the motor, you should replace the entire regulator, they aren't built very well.

Try spraying a little silicone spray down the window run before you replace anything, it may help a bit.

 

Same here. My drivers side creeps up slooooooow. I'm gonna hook up a boost-a-pump to it. I think 20 volts should get it moving. LOL!

Anybody replaced a window motor yet?

 

**** $95 is a hell of a deal especially from the dealer, I bought the passenger side from O'Reilly for $150 and driver side from the dealer for $200. Looks like I got screwed on both regulators.

As for replacing the motor, replace the whole unit, it is really easy and takes about 30 minutes. The regulator is held in the door with 5 bolts and two bolts hold the window to the regulator. Use some masking tape to hold the window up, this makes the job really easily since you are not fighting the window.


The regulator has 4 plastic pulleys that if not lube will wear out very quickly. My window on the passenger side (replaced about 2 years ago) rolled up slowly untill I sprayed some WD-40 on the track, slides, pulleys, and in the cables. My driver side window with the oem regulator rolls up quick and I have not touch it for 4 years now (replaced it 4 years ago), but I did lube it when I did the passenger side.

 

it is very easy to replace the regulator/motor assy takes like 30min

 

you guys are getting screwed! check ebay: $40 + $15 shipping, make sure you get the correct side

Did you buy these, mine are stupid slow at going up too.....

 

mine were good till someone broke out my passenger window. now the passenger window is slower than molasses in winter, and the guy at the glass place cleaned out the slide and everything real good

 

So when you hit 3lbs boost the window goes up faster? Just the new designs are a piece of sh#$^#$^
