I looked up how to take the window regulator out of the left-rear door.
After you get the door panel off and the water barrier out of the way...
You loosen the two bolts holding the glass to the regulator with the glass all the way up.
There's two handy holes in the inner door's sheet metal to access them.
Then you tape or otherwise secure the glass all the way up.
Then you lower the regulator to about halfway down.
Unplug the motor and remove the three screws holding it in place.
Now maneuver it out the big hole in the door.
Who's noticed the flaw here?
Is it just me, or if I could move the regulator at will, why would I need to remove it in the first place?
There are no instructions for getting that thing out with it locked in any given position.
Because mine will go down, I'm not screwed, but...
Wouldn't be the first time something like that had to be cut into pieces to be removed in some cases.
ReplyDeleteYou'll need to drill out the rivets holding the motor in place, remove the motor, and then you can move the regulator to where you need it. That's assuming the motor is the problem. If it's the regulator, then it's Sawsall time.

I will give Holden credit here. The motor is bolted to the regulator. I think I could get to them, but I'd be inventing new words every second I had my arm in there.
DeleteEither is GM is not alone in this or the NUMMI collaboration infected Toyota because removing and replacing a window regulator in a 2000 Corolla was a,complex and frustrating evolution we never want to repeat.
