15 people gave this video a thumbs down? WTF is wrong with you guys? It's the perfect how to video. Thanks guys keep up the good work.

My wife and I just replaced the window regulator and motor I bought from you guys. The shops we found on yelp wanted between 225- 250 to replace. We spent about $59 and took us 1.5 hours. We are not mechanics but,we watched your video and it helped a lot. Thank You for the video. A++ in my book.

[@1AAuto]

Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad the video helped you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@pgawido]

Thanks so much for this video. We were quoted $275 to have this fixed, it took me 20 minutes and saved me over $200! One note, I followed your instructions up to the part where you slide the window up to access the regulator nuts but my window wouldn't move. I called 1AAuto and the tech was so helpful, all I needed to do was cut the cables (they were frozen). The tech also emailed me a link with the correct part already added to my shopping cart. Super fast shipping too! 1AAuto - 5 stars!!

Thaaaaaank yoooooou! My window had been glitchy for the last few months. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didnt. Finally got to the point where I couldn't get it to go up. I was worried someone was going to try to steal stuff from my car when I went to the store. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing when the part came today. It works now, and I most certainly would not have been able to fix it without your help.

Both my front windows went out a month apart from each other. After watching your video, I decided I could change them myself. I was right. I saved hundreds in repair. thanks so much!!!

[@MrBrianmcgovern]

I just replaced the window regulator for a friend following this video and it worked out perfectly!! Thank you so much for the video guys, it followed it step by step and I was done in about 45 minutes, not bad for my first time!!

[@widgetchick]

This works perfectly for the Mazda Tribute as well. My 2006 is perfectly perfect again. Thank you so so much for the video. It gave me the confidence I needed to do it myself. My dad spotted me but for the most part, it was all me.

[@networth4512]

I saved $250 bucks using this video!!!! Thanks!!!!

[@jriggatx]

This is about as perfect an overview of how to do a repair like this as could be. To the point and at a great pace. I just completed the replacement. While waiting for the replacement part, I took the door panel off and secured the window up with vice grips, but I think I could've probably done the whole thing start to finish in about an hour. Thanks again!

[@1AAuto]

We currently do not carry speedometers for that particular vehicle. You may want to check Ebay, or possibly your local salvage yard.

[@ShepperdOneill]

Just wanted to quickly say thank you! I had to replace the drivers window motor/regulator assembly, and this video explained everything well! One thing I want to point out: When re-installing the glass, you have to make sure it fits into the groove on both sides. Otherwise, the glass will sit crooked. Thanks again!

[@1AAuto]

+ShepperdOneill Thanks for the feedback! We are glad to hear this helped you out. We will pass that tip over to our production team. 1aauto.com

[@albertsalinas9419]

Still don't know how to even change my oil but after a mechanic told me it would cost $300 to fix my window I checked out your video and fixed it myself! Thanks a lot for the help and for saving me money!

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. 1aautoc.com 888-844-3393

[@artvondrak1638]

Simple step by step instructions to follow. Couldn't have been any easier to explain. Thanks.

[@kitmog]

Thank you so much for this video! My fiancé was able to fix this for $75 and about an hour of work. Just in time too! El Niño is hitting us hard right now!

[@1AAuto]

Since you are replacing the window regulator and it is stuck up what you will have to do is support the glass in some way, either through tape or by propping it up inside the door, and then cut the cables holding the lines. You can then lower the glass to the level you need it to be and support it.

[@estebanmiguel6019]

Thank you for this great video. I just did this job in about 45 minutes.

[@jafourman]

thank you very much for this video! it helped me tackle my girlfriend's busted window cable with confidence and get the job done in about 20 minutes.

[@hanksgavin]

You guys need a tip jar. I can't wait for the part in the mail but I would tip you for the help. Thank you so much!

[@1AAuto]

+hanksgavin Thank you for your order. If you would like to leave us a review on Google it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a link to our reviews section. Have a great day! goo.gl/i5JFNY

[@sarahamaya5945]

How did you get the clip off at 2:15?? Ya skipped that part. Im sittting here holding my door panel with my leg, now i have to find another video how to get the power for window clip disconnected, thanks a lot

[@hoganspez9290]

One of the best videos I've seen. Great job !

[@donmurray8021]

I watched the video. Had an idea how to do this on my Ford Escape LTD, but the video definitely helped smooth the process and take the guesswork out of this. Thanks a million for that. Everything works fine... but I one PROBLEM... my window gets to the top and pops out of the rubber track at the top left side (looking at it from inside the car). Any idea how to fix that? Everything is in place and nuts and screws are snug.

[@1AAuto]

You could use a test light to see if there's power to the switch.

[@BookwormDragon1]

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for! Now I can rescue my vice grips from inside my car door, where they are currently keeping my driver's side window closed.

[@1AAuto]

Thank you for watching. Please let us know how the repair comes out! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@rolmanpiche5402]

[@MrCarrpopparocks]

You video was a great help. And the product was the exact replacement. Thanks, i will use your company again.

[@VocalVelocity]

I wish I had found this video before working on my window. I was trying to just replace the motor, but I took the wrong part of and the drum housing that spools the cable is dissembled. Before I go further, would taking the whole assembly out be the easiest way to get the cables back in the correct position for the drum housing?

[@javajai]

Is this basically the same instructions to replace the rear window regulator as well? Thanks!

[@KevinSmith-bt7dv]

Thank you very much , used your video and got the job done .

[@matthewmorrison766]

In the Rear Window video, you simply taped the window up with Painter's Tape. In this one, it appears that you took the whole window out. Is that necessary, or can it just be taped up as well? Thanks for the video!

[@kaylad5271]

Very informative video, thank you. My issue was the cables busted the plastic piece attached to the window motor. I have a new plastic piece, but am unsure how to reattach it.

[@donnadaniels4040]

The regulator is still attached to the window. The cables are not attached to the regulator. Can the cables be repaired?

[@borntopraisejesuschrist4850]

Just want to say thanks a bunch bro you just helped me fix my window that quit working i just watched your video and was able to reattach a loose wire!Praise Jesus God Bless you brother and yours!

[@1AAuto]

[@masonjackson6999]

Do your part come with the mounting hardware needed?

[@Dianwei23]

Thanks for the video. $57 repair, not too bad. Unfortunately after I got home I notice the new motor didn't come with nuts on it so I had to hit the hardware store for 6mm stainless locknuts. Oh and that popping sound from the cable breaking... holy hell I thought my window was busting! LOL

Great video! You guys rock. This was very informative.

[@sbentjies]

Do you have a video of how to replace the window motor and will I need to do the regulator if I do the motor on this same vehicle?

does this work for a 2005 ford escape hybrid too?

[@markdubois100]

Great video! Couldn't have replaced my window regulator without it. Thanks.

[@rgfisher21]

I have done the trouble shooting and have power going to the regulator motor, but, absolutely no life showing at the motor itself. The window is completely up so it does not move. I have ordered a new regulator and motor from you guys. I was under the assumption that I could just cut the cable on the old regular and free up the window to get it down where it can easily be disconnected from the window and removed. Is there anything that will stop that from happening?

[@1AAuto]

+rgfisher21 A lot of times that's exactly what has to be done to lower the window. Sometimes that cable breaks and it gets jammed on something inside of the door and needs to be cut free. Thank you for your order. 1aauto.com

[@rgfisher21]

Thank you, finally that bolt cutter that I bought years ago will come in handy. :-)

[@MrBrianmcgovern]

Does this work on a mazda tribute too?

[@txdenali]

how can I lower my window as it's in up position and cannot access those screws required to pull out the regulator?

[@myypca6097]

How do you disconnect the wires? Mine won't come apart

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@Mario-tz9vf]

what if your window doesn't move up or down does that mean the motor's broken? but i am able to push it down and pull it by hand

[@1AAuto]

+Mario Lako Thank you for watching. It could be that the motor is faulty, or the switch is faulty. 1aauto.com

[@Mario-tz9vf]

1A Auto Parts Thanks for your reply it means a lot. I 've already replaced the switch and was just making sure I was changing the right part. Also if it's not a bother I have one more question. If a sunroof on this kind of car(ford escape) only goes up on side bc the other side is broken. It'll move back but it won't move forward. Would I have to replace the whole sunroof or is it possible to replace only the side that's broken. Also if you ever get a chance to do a how to video on how to replace the sunroof on a ford escape that'd be great thanks again

[@derynanaka1225]

My drivers window works.. it the passenger and two back windows that don't go up or down.. do I have to do this on all windows.. or is there a fuse or Something? Why would 1 work.. 3 Not?

[@kg4boj]

Try flipping the window lock switch on the same panel. It locks out both the individual door switches but the master too!

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for checking us out. Have a great day. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@usafalcon4466]

were a can buy speedometer for my chevy tahoe 2003 ?

[@MegaFu99]

is there a video for rear door or is it the same

[@1AAuto]

You should be able to use some of the steps from this video. We also have several videos on the rear power window regulator available depending on your vehicle. This one is for 08-12 Escape models. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqu4eIt-q9xqm68 +MegaFu99

[@alyssawilmer8033]

My window got stuck down and we pulled it back up when the button still kind of worked, now it won't go down or up. Is this the regulator?

[@1AAuto]

+Alyssa Wilmer We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@allanvega5370]

Can you do a video on the driver side window that is "STOCKED UP" my driver window won't go down

[@TheTalbotBoys]

Argh!! I'm stuck unhooking the wire harness. What's the trick with that coupling??

[@mikeaviles9792]

thank you. you save me time an money

[@1AAuto]

Mike Aviles That's our goal. We're glad we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@pierrebourret7315]

Does anybody know: If your window is extremely sluggish to go back closed once it has been opened is the motor or the regulator gone? My window will go up if I help to pull it upward but it is getting worse and feels likely it will fail entirely soon.

[@kg4boj]

Just replace the whole shebang. Both the motor and regulator are 30$ online. If one goes bad it puts wear on the other so just do both. In very older cars that had sector gears and a counter spring built into the door you could get away with just a replacement motor but any cable driven window regulator you absolutely need to replace the motor with the regulator.

[@MysticfireFrenchies]

how do i tell if it is my switch or the regulator

[@Paul78212]

window is stuck in the up position how do i get it down?

[@1AAuto]

+PAUL INCLAN You may want to remove the door panel to see if the window regulator cable is jammed or caught on something that may be preventing the window from moving. This is a common thing to happen. We carry the new window regulator shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Ford/Escape/1AWRG00913?KZbin&CTA+Comment&TYrgA

[@Paul78212]

It was stuck in a locked position we were able to free up the regulator the take the window off from an angle in the up position. Thanks.

[@Martin-ze5im]

I have the same problem on my '05 Ford Escape, what was the problem with the regulator cable? Was it jammed it caught in something? Or did you have to replace the whole regulator and motor assembly. Mine was working fine [no stress or slow down in the window's up/down] on one toll gate and suddenly nothing *hoping its a switch issue, but i do hear that click mentioned here*

[@Paul78212]

We removed the whole regulator and motor. With the window still on. We went down then up 45 degrees unscrewed the window off and let the regulator fall down. You gotta use some force to get the regulator loose from the frame while the window is attached.

[@johnwhorfin5485]

Martin did it wind up being the switch? I'm having the same problem.

[@1AAuto]

You can just tape it up and into place. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Literally skipped a step after taking door cover off.
