Illusionist Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm getting a new regulator as my window hasn't worked since i bought my truck about a year ago. I was wondering if anyone has replaced their's before and how difficult it was and if anyone had any tips on doing this. i know how to get the PITA door panel off so i'm just looking for advice for getting to and replacing the regulator. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 its not hard to get the door off at all.... unscrew the armrest, slide it out pop off plastic surround from around the (inside) door handle) then start poping the plastic taps that surround the door and then pull up and out....(and if you have power windows and locks, pop the panel off (that has all the buttons) and disconnect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 dont force anything...they're a couple of hidden screws when you do it... i took 2 doors apart and it was pretty easy just have to take time and be careful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Might I add to buy the special tool for taking off the plastic clips, they get very brittle and break easy. Just pulling on the panel will result in at least one broken one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illusionist Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 did any of you actually read what i said? i have no problems getting the door panels off, i've done it several times, and that wasn't the question. I asked about getting to and replacing the window regulator.... not the door panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
