Excellent instructional video - really like you style of teaching. Thank you. just completed driver door on 1991 F-150XLT truck and now have to do my 2002 E350 SDXLT van - this was the closest video to that vehicle. I feel much better about starting that job now.

Thank you! Great Vid. I think i'm going to attempt this thanks to videos like yours. Safelite wanted $270 to repair and the part is only $40!! Gotta save that $$$$.

[@GustavoAndrade-ww1cz]

You have no idea how much you helped me man, saved me a lot of money. Keep up the good work and thanks again.

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

That's the name of the game, Gustavo...saving money. Glad it helped...thanks for watching!

[@johnwhorfin5485]

Awesome video, used it today. Window works great now. Thank you for this, keep up the good work.

[@SagebrushRambles]

That's great if the regulator cable isn't broken or the motor for it isn't burnt out which is the reason you'd be replacing it anyway. So what if you can't raise or lower the window?

[@OSCARELK]

Ty excellent video, now I have the courage to do myself, thanks again for sharing

[@tane1mahuta1]

Great instructional video mate enjoyed your step by step... Altho I wish it was done on a Ford BA model. But Great vid all the same Keep up the great work Thanks

[@fatboy7185]

I would say definitely a good video help me a lot. My only problem is the top corner piece a triangle looking thing I cannot get it back in the freaking car it won’t stay. I did everything you said step-by-step, but I think that thing broke and I don’t know what to do or how to fix it any help will be greatly appreciated. Everybody make sure to keep up with the screws from the door panel because there are a difference between the screws I didn’t keep Track of which screw went in which hole and putting it on. Was a problem I figured out which screw went into which hole and it went on perfectly Other than a triangle looking thing at the top, right.

[@davidmontgomery5815]

Thanks for this... saved my day

[@johnrichey9718]

Does anyone know or can make any sense about this video? If the motor doesn't work in the first place, (which is why I'm replacing the thing!) then how is one expected to roll the window down using the switch to enable the removal of the 2 screws that hold the window in place?

[@bigpoppapump4060]

Awesome vid looks like this might b what I have to do to my mazda tribute s.

[@shofan70]

I wish I could raise or lower the window to get to those window retaining bolts but my window regulator doesn't work.

[@jamesbillet8954]

Excellent, thourough vid. Thanks for sharing.

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

Thanks...hope it helped. And thanks for watching!

[@elizabethraeely8868]

I had to do this.window is much better now

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

Glad it helped, Elizabeth...thanks for watching!

[@leonareyna581]

is this the same process for a 2005 ford escape hybrid?

[@mcaninchv]

My motor is broken and the window is all the way down. How can i raise the window to get the bolts in the access point?

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

If you remove the door panel and weather protectant, the door should have openings that will allow you to get a wrench in and get the two bolts. From there, you can slide the glass up and out. It's tight, but accessible. Thanks for watching!

[@jonathanmunozgallego4118]

Thanks

[@sarvarzjjatt9240]

my fordterritory driver side window working but rest of three glass does move down guide me reason for please

[@whyWyn]

Have u tried seeing if the window is on track ?

[@rolomuir8441]

Really great how to do vidoe

[@rgfisher21]

Question... The one I need to repair has a dead motor. What do I do to separate the window itself from the bracket when the window is all the way up?

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

I had to work on a friend of a friends car (forgot what model/year it was) that was like that, but what I did was cut the cable on the regulator. I had someone hold the window steady and lower it during the process.

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

P.S. - On the backside of the track that the lift plate runs along, you have access to the thin steel cable. But with a good cut tool, you can also cut through the thicker cable sleeve. And if you happen to have the type of regulator that runs on a gear rather than a cable, just unbolt and pry the motor out.

[@jamesbillet8954]

rgfisher21 Its actually easier to replace the motor and regulator at the same time. Got a complete oem replacement unit from PartsGeek for about $60. Hope this helps.

[@jerryhartlein]

what if the motor doesnt work for the drivers side and the window is all the way up???

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

You can tape the window to keep it from falling down, reach in the door and cut the cables on the regulator, then let the window down to remove the motor/regulator assembly. Thanks for watching, Jerry!

[@sherifx5122]

Get a glass suction cup tool at your local hardware store or harbor freight has them for like $4. It doesn't leave the residue that tape does and it also provides a handle to work with, you can use it to hold the window in place while you are working on it.

[@thirdrail12345]

thanks for that, being an idiot myself i'm assuming that the process is the same for passenger door?

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

That's not being an idiot...it's easy to assume that! Hope it helped...thanks for watching!

[@lesandnan945]

great video!

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

Thank you...hope it helps you. Thanks for watching!
