This is called doing it the right way. I commend you for not doing the half-assed way with holes drilled in your door sir.👍 These gems are gonna be a rare commodity down the road so it’s best to keep your TA repaired like this guy does it.

Backyard Chevy Keep doing things this way my dude. These Pontiacs are the best cars of their era with the appearance and performance combo. WS6s and even older models with LT1s like mine are cars that’ll never get old like C4s and ugly plain Jane Z28s did.

This is the best video on YT that shows how to do this task! I watched this video (with the sound turned all the way down ;-)) several times before I did this job! Great detail! If you follow these instructions carefully, you can do this job in a couple of hours! I used a motor already attached to the regulator. Worked well for me. Thanks for posting! You forgot to show the removal of the horizontal track, but I figured it out. All is forgiven!

Thank you very much for the video. I used the four small screws and nuts to attach the motor, it came with four 1/4 inch screws and nuts for the door. But I went to Harbor Freight and bought the rivet tool for $17 and it came with the 1/4 inch rivets I needed. Took me like 1 hour to get it all done. Thanks.

Holy crap is this a TOUGH one man job!! Holding the window up (all slimey from the regulator grease) and aligning those four 1/4" rivets was very difficult and I've been a mechanic for over 50 years.Lots of cuts on my hands . Grr. Hope to never do another one of these..and if I do I'll get help! Thanks for the video..I would have never thought it was this involved.

Is there a way to use bolt/safety nut to install the regulator back inside the door and not rivets? I assume these china motors will need replacement again. Are you suppose to use some lube or grease on those tracks and wheels?
@backyardchevy328
@backyardchevy328 3 жыл бұрын
Well u would need to get behind the nut to hold it and unfortunately it will have to be a short bolt so it doesnt stick out in the back affecting the travel of the mechanism...and yes youll wanna lubricate the wheels and tracks

When installing the new motor, do the drive teeeth need to match the vertical position of the window position when it was removed? How does the motor know when to stop in either direction and cut the power to stop without over, or under driving the window stop?
@backyardchevy328
@backyardchevy328 4 жыл бұрын
The motor has unlimited travel to spin in either direction when its off the regulator..but when u bolt it up to the regulator, the regulator has a stop position going up and stop position going down that stops the motor from traveling any further.

Adding for clarification. Do I need to center the motor prior to install on the regulator frame. Since the old motor isn’t running how do I insure the posistion of the travel range of the motor to match to the new one prior to install, or just get the new motor close to center and install?
@backyardchevy328
@backyardchevy328 4 жыл бұрын
The center of the motor slides into the round hole on the regulator assembly and that centers it..and the motor lines up to 3 bolt holes where the rivets were removed..as far as the travel, the regulator is what sets the motors limit as far as travel.

You can use small bolts and nuts to replace the rivets; don't have to drill it out next time. Small piece of tape at bottom of window, to the rubber wiper, keeps window from falling when set at working height; window gravity, pinches the tape to the rubber wiper.

I purchased the motor/regulator combo set. The spring on the new regulator only half the size of the spring on the original set. The rollers on the new regulator don't look as well made as the originals either. Do you know why that is? Would you recommend putting the new motor on the original regulator, or putting the old spring on the new regulator? Should the new regulator have come with grease for the moving parts?
@backyardchevy328
@backyardchevy328 5 жыл бұрын
I always feel its better to use the original parts because the replacement regulator and spring are probably made of cheaper material, yea if it doesnt come with grease youll wanna lubricate the rollers the gear and the teeth for smoother operation and longer life.
