You... You... You ARE the MAN! Have a two door XJ, and is near impossible to find a replacement. Found this video through a forum. Went down to the Jeep after watching, removed the regulator, and sure enough the exact part is damaged! You saved me at least $300. I owe you a beer Thank you so much for this video!

I just want to say thank you. I really appreciate how you took to the time to show how the window works and exactly where and why the window mechanism broke where it did. How to fix it instead of replacing the whole assembly. And finally put it back together. It really is a great video, very thorough and helpful. I now have every confidence that I can tackle my broken window and come out on top with a smile on my face, instead of the scowl that is usually in place after shoving my hands up inside a door to work on a window. 😉

Great video but for those curious watching, it isn't the same system in the Jeep Grand Cherokees. They use a steel cable instead of the spring to raise and lower the window.

just to add. you'll find that the speakers foam surround are shot after a long time. You can fix them its easy and it works. You can buy the whole kit for all four speakers for around 30 bucks I did this when I fixed the lock on the drivers door 68 Grand C.

Thank you! My wife was driving home from work this evening and suddenly the passenger window on our 1998 Cherokee just did a guillotine drop and disappeared. I'll be pulling the inner door panel to verify the cause tomorrow but I'm 99% sure what happened is what you described. Thank you for saving me well over one hundred dollars. Much appreciated!!!

Thank you! Works great. Note for others, I had to dremel about 3/16" off the tip off of my cable due to a stripped thread on the end. Also, great suggestion to go ahead and take the gear box apart. Found several small pieces of the plastic and went ahead and added a bit of grease for good measure.

Thanks so much for the repair video, the problem with mine is that the plastic sheath around the spring has broken off of where the gearbox holds it, I’m trying just duct tape right now and praying it works

Good thing you took that cover off to get those pieces out. I miss my Cherokee. Had a 2001 Classic, last year made. Traded it in. Went through snow storms here like nothing. My Grand Cherokee I have now isn't as quick as that light little Cherokee. Good job buddy.

It's always the plastics that'll get you. I've had it cause problems in everything from a little plastic tab in a Saturn electric door lock to the cable guide on a lawnmower handle. One little piece snaps or bends and suddenly a whole component is usually junk. When you showed how it worked I was actually wondering if a person couldn't rig up some kind of thin metal pieces at an angle on the plate to catch onto the spring. Glad you got by with just a replacement bit in this case though.

Thank you for a great video! Mine just did this and Im going wheeling this weekend, and its supposed to rain. I had the door all apart, except for taking out the window regulator and stuff, and needed to keep the glass up, so I put some zip ties around the base of the window bracket to keep it somewhat up. A lil tip for those that might be in the same predicament.

@805ROADKING The Cherokee regulator is different than the GC. When I had my 2001 Cherokee Classic, nothing went wrong with that truck. Never replaced anything but brakes, tires and oil. Windows never failed. My GC has been reliable (same 4.0) but window regulators aren't like in my Cherokee. But, 104K its still running great.

When I press the switch down I should still be able to hear the window motor working right? I press it down and don't even hear anything so necessarily this part is not the issue.

Good gauge, but you can buy a whole new regulator for the price of that little metal piece. As long as your motor is still good, which most of the time it is, you can buy regulator without motor and attach your good motor.

In my 2000 cherokee sport I had a brass stopper in the small groove of the track. The stopper was accompanied by a small piece of soft material that seemed to help "softly" stop the window when it hit the bottom of the track. Has anyone found this? I'd prefer to keep that piece so the motor isn't stopped abruptly. Anyone know how to set the new metal piece to accomodate this?

Thanks for sharing. FYI, my 98 Jeep doesn't have this type of Window Regulator, although, a cheap plastic roller is why mine isn't working. Wondering if a metal roller is out there, that can bolted or clipped on instead of riveted plastic. Also, for this video, could it be possible that it's for 99-01 Jeeps?
