[@CBIRBIGS]

Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this on my 2008 Maxima myself. I never really understood exactly how a regulator worked….now I do, and replaced mine easily with the help of this video. Total cost was $37.

[@RickNYC2000]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks a million Mike. I hadn't been able to lower my driver side window for about six months and frustration had set in. After watching this how to video decided to go to a local yard and get a used regulator/motor and install myself. Took me a little under 2 hours and oh man problem solved. Window goes up and down smoothly. Changed my broken mirror at the same time too. Killed 2 birds with 1 Stone!!!

[@juangeezy1112]

I watch a lot of your 04-08 Nissan Maxima videos....thanks a lot....you have been a big help. Keep up the great videos!

[@seddyf]

Thanks!! Really helped me re-glue my window back to the clips to get my window back up and running.

[@ruswatson3997]

Great video, thanks. When connected directly to the battery the old motor jumped but wouldn't turn the gear. I unscrewed the motor from the gear and put a little oil in it and twisted it around using a spanner until it was free moving. When I screwed the motor back on, the whole thing worked fine. Be careful not to let oil draining back into the motor. Then I cleaned up the contacts in the connecting plug and it went like new. Also one rubber guide track had come out. Go Nissan!

[@luisibarra9507]

This video really works people ! Thank you ! Also, lube your windows with silicone once you change the motor or regulator. It’ll help with smooth up/down and it’ll be less stress on the motor and regulator.

[@luisibarra9507]

Silicone lubricant oil that is

[@KaLaro7Pito]

Thank you for putting time to make this video. Very informative and helpful. Even bought your product.

This is excellent. Thanks to you I was able to do it myself and purchased the motor from 1aauto for 90 bucks.

you made putting that door panel back on look so easy! Any tips? my nissan titan door refused to clip back together and it keeps falling off I cant seem to get all the clips to line up perfectly or something...

[@1AAuto]

+tubeyourself Probably just a lot of practice over the years. Keep trying youll get it!

[@davervmirxz4878]

Thank you for the tool requirements and instructions.

[@MrPrettytv]

You helped me out a lot......but its my back windows that are off track so I'm not sure if I should just take the whole thing apart or open it and try to put it back on the track.....never did it before but I'm the type that likes to watch learn and do it myself for in the future I can help someone else plus have knowledge on what to do so someone else can't say its something else and try to over charge me.

[@antmrtz8726]

[@1AAuto]

Check the wire harness between the door and body of the car for a broken or frayed wire. That is what could be causing this issue.

[@RepIntelligenceClothingCo]

Great instructions. Thank y'all so much!

[@oakcliff9541]

Thanks... great video, quick question. Would it be the same steps if the clip on my Front Passenger Side window was broke instead?

[@1AAuto]

This would be the same procedure on the passenger side. We carry new window regulators for the passenger side on our website with FREE SHIPPING in the blower 48 states.

[@playboi.shad8]

Do you push the buttons in, push up, or push them down for the white clicks?

[@FieldySnuts2010]

How do you know if it's the motor or the regulator that's bad? I don't want to buy one and the other part actually be a problem. Excellent video by the way.

[@1AAuto]

You may want to take the door panel off and inspect the window regulator inside the door for any signs of damage.

[@FieldySnuts2010]

1A Auto Parts Any telltale signs of a damaged regulator or motor, or is it that obvious to see?

[@1AAuto]

Hi A1auto, really appreciate the video. But how do you bolt the glass back into the sliders?

[@johncannon7761]

You did a fantastic job! Perhaps clean your hands first and during installation.

[@1AAuto]

You will have to lower the window to access the bolts that hold the window to the regulator.

[@vancity2010gold]

Great vid, how long did this take in real time??

[@jasonrank1468]

AWESOME video! Thank you for posting stuff like this. I couldn't have replaced it by myself without the video. Quick question though.... Good news is everything works now. However, the window is still sluggish on the way back up. It is quite fast on the way down though.

[@1AAuto]

You could try to spray the weatherstrip around the windows with silicone spray, it should help the window to glide easier. You can find this at your local auto parts store. Hope this you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@PastorCrackpot]

Great step by step video. This was my first time working with car trim. Everything worked great except when using "Auto Up" feature when the window (drivers) reaches the top in lowers down 4 inches. I can manually position the window the in the full up position. Any suggestions? (I was unable to purchase the window regulator from 1aauto.com window was stuck down and cold and rain in the forecast. But it will be the first place I look for parts in the future.

[@PastorCrackpot]

Further research seems to indicate that the limit reset switch is on the motor itself (for later model nissans (2000 - 2008) this requires removal of both panels. I have already reassembled the door and it's begun to rain. I will update this post when I've tried the reset. If accurate, resetting of the limit switch should be standard step in replacing the "window regulator" or at least inclide a step that tests the window travel limit. As instructed I did test to see of the window was working but (I assume) I unconsciously did not use the "auto up/down" as I hate this feature and never use it.

[@orrihenkle1292]

So any helpful work on those newer Altima videos?? I have an '07 Altima, and trying to figure this whole thing out.

[@roderickwilson2104]

Okay I watched this video and I believe you missed a step. when you reattachthe regulator to the panel on your work bench , then you cant reattach the window bracket. I tried it and found that when I re watched the video you didn't reattah the window bracket either. other than that the video was on point.

[@supersaiyangod6732]

I notice that too he made me remove them and not show me how to put it back..

[@dougyfresh9013]

Yes he does. At about the 11:00 mark.

[@SPOT305]

He does window attaching process @ 10:50-12:19

[@1AAuto]

if the gears are loose you need to replace the window regulator because they are not adjustable and they are most likely loose from being worn out.

[@dinuguan510]

Which has the higher failure rate, the motor or the regulator? They're sold separately, they only stock the regulator at the local Pep Boys, which tells me the regulators fail more often.

[@crhayes2]

Can you do a video for this same issue on a Nissan Altima 2002? I see you have a Nissan Altima first generation which stops at 2001. My motor was making weird sounds for a week and it finally gave out. Front Driver Side

You didnt show the step to have the tracks to bolt onto the actual window. You shown the bolts being taken off of the tracks before you taped the window but when you assembled it doesnt show the window getting bolted back.

If the cables are bound up, you may need to free them up so that the window drops down.

[@carlossaavedra4723]

Hey 1aauto isnt the window motor regulator for that year the same as for the 2002 nissan sentra?

[@1AAuto]

+Carlos Saavedra The regulator in the video is only correct for 04-08 models. The correct part for the 02 Sentra can be found at the link below. Thanks for watching! 1AAuto.com www.1aauto.com/2002-nissan-sentra-window-regulator/y-mo-c/2002-342-16

[@tonyconsolo2391]

At the risk of sounding not so smart, how do I get the window lowered to midway if it is stuck in full up position so I can get this started?

[@elchoch03]

How would u know if its the motor or the regulator that is bad? On mine (drivers front window also) i have to open the door and close it kinda hard and hold the switch down at same time for the window to lower. Like if somethings not fully in tact. Then when i wanna raise it up, i have to do the same open door and close it hard and it'll start to raise slowly until it stops not even hallways and then automatically lowers itself back down. To fully close it, i have to help it up by hand.

[@cornfusedatbest6693]

So the window just sits in the plastic holders? My window must have come off the track and fell cocked to one side. If I put it back together, what's going to keep it from doing it again if not glued or something to that effect?

[@1AAuto]

+Gary Kovach Thanks for watching! If the plastic clips are worn out then you will likely have to do something like that to extend the life of the regulator. Otherwise you would have to replace the unit, which we carry here: www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Nissan/Maxima/1AWRK00607?KZbin&CTA+Comment&XFNlAGfgtTA

[@1AAuto]

If the cables are stuck you may have to loosen them.

Hey brother can you make a video nissan altima 2009 ...

[@taylorgriggs1811]

Did everything just like you (changed the regulator) but the window won't stay up all the way. It still drops about 2 inches. Any recommendations?

[@taylorgriggs1811]

It goes up and down fine. It just won't stay up

[@xelarated9160]

when you use the auto up function wont stay up, its like it hits and comes back down but when manually hold the button it does?

i did everything you did and my window now moves but when i press the button to close the window, it goes up crooked... and when it gets to the top it opens itself about 4 inches because its crooked. i tried keeping the window straight while closing it but it wont stay straight... how do i fix it? brand new regulator and motor...

what could happen if the gear gets loose? is it to hard to put it back?

@@1AAuto ok thanks ....

[@lalosdiecast]

how do we know if its the regulator rails or the motor

[@1AAuto]

You may want to remove the door panel to check the window regulator to see if there's anything that may have broke on it. If there's power to the window motor and it doesn't move, you may have a bad window motor.

[@1AAuto]

If the regulator looks fine, and the power window motor has power to it but doesn't work, then the motor may have gone bad. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@awillis323]

How do you know if its the motor or the regulator that needs to be replaced.

[@jamesolelo4406]

The regulator wouldn't be able to slide up or down( outside of the car)if it failed. The motor would have failed if you here it trying, or plugged it in and saw it spun but wasn't strong enough to move the window or slide the regulator with weight on it.
