[@waynealbert5826]

I just wanted to thank you, as many others have, for saving me a lot of money. My passenger side window hasn't been able to go up, without help, since we bought the car in 2006. I brought it to a garage last year and they told me I needed a new regulator. After watching your video, I dared to remove the door panel and take a look for myself. To my surprise, 2 of the bolts holding the regulator in place were off and 3 were loose. The window now works perfectly!! Thanks again!

[@Cactariffic]

The drivers window for my Corolla got stuck in the down position. I just got off the phone with Toyota the window regulator and motor cost $540 and they are charging $130 for labor. So that comes up to about $725 including taxes. Thankfully I watched this video!!! I'm was grateful for the video because it was helpful with disassembly so I ordered the regulator and motor in one assembly from you. Now my window works just like it did before and it only cost me $58 bucks!

[@dcelestino]

I took the plunge and dove in on this project and was surprised how smooth it went. I would not have done it without your video. The regulator and motor part I received was slightly different than the one I replaced. Instead of a set bolt in the regulator frame there was need for another 10mm screw. Luckily I had one in my shop! This is the 2nd project you have helped me on. The first was replacing the driver side interior door latch. You have me as a follower for my next projects!! Thanks.

[@janaidesta2526]

I just want to thank you so much. I was able to repair my wife's door window, and never would have pulled it off without your video. I will buy all my parts from you now, and I need some. I need a drivers side door latch and I need the rubber seal that the window seals into. I ordered one some time ago and didn't check it and they sent us the wrong one. Thanks again A1!! It is very much appreciated not just by me, but my wife too...

[@kamaboko1]

I picked up a regulator for my Corolla from 1A Auto. It wasn't the same year as listed in this video, but the video still helped. I saved about $200 doing it myself and it was pretty painless. This coming from a guy who does not like to work on cars.

[@1AAuto]

+kamaboko1 Congratulations on the successful repair. We're glad we could help you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@seansparkman5805]

This video nailed the entire process. Thank you so much! The only thing I would say is that around the 6:50 mark you mention the stud in the regulator frame. Be careful to remove only the nut on the stud and not the stud itself. The stud will help you remember how to orient the regulator when you put it back in the door. I removed the stud and it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how it went back in.

[@vlot8247]

Thank you for the video. It worked like a charm. I had an estimate from a mechanic for $250. Ordered the part online for $32 and did it myself. One point, not all of the three bolts on the left side are used. Two of them connect to the regulator and one of the is just there for no apparent reason (Corolla 2002). Thanks again!!

This way I've scratched my window tint, oh well I fixed it. Thanks for the video

[@teamcbride122]

Thank you sooooo much. Your video is so easy to follow. As a girl who really doesn't know much about cars- you have helped me SO much. thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@1AAuto]

+Tea McBride Thank you!

[@matthewstaheli]

Extremely helpful. Thank you. FYI, it makes it a lot easier to reinstall the regulator if the window motor is about half way through the gears. Took me a while to figure that out.

[@ImSonnyBurnett]

Thanks for this video. Helped me remove/swap out the motor on my 1999 Corolla. The motor in the back seat is the same as the front, so I was able to figure my way through swapping them out. The mechanism that raises the actual motor is different so it took a while to get them back into position. Also, a note to newbies: The black adhesive that holds the water shield will get everywhere, so be sure to wear gloves.

[@1AAuto]

+Sonny Burnett Thank you for your feedback!

[@1AAuto]

You're welcome. Thank you for checking out our auto repair videos on KZbin.

[@grahambibby1895]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the clarity of the instructions. A natural way of speaking, with a concise manner.

[@1AAuto]

@Harrygton the majority of the new window regulators come already greased. A little white lithium grease doesn't hurt either though.

[@1AAuto]

You could try to grease the track on the window regulator with some white lithium grease and you could also try to spray the weatherstrip around the window with some silicone spray. Hope this helps you out.

[@JoshuaTurnerEE]

Love your work 1A Auto Parts!! We will be ordering parts from you in the future. What a great service you provide!!

[@1AAuto]

Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

[@1AAuto]

You may want to check to see if there's a blown fuse somewhere or you could also test the wire to see if there's power to the window regulator.

[@HappyCastPod]

Thanks a ton! I was just able to replace our driver side one that got stuck in the down position thanks to you!

[@golfmanmatt]

Thanks for the video. I had to do both windows in back due to them being sluggish. Backs are easy and should be an easy DIY.

[@carib6971]

Can't thank you enough for the instructional video - and the part which we ordered through you. Everything went well by following your instructions. This is a really good service you provide.

[@1AAuto]

Check the window switch to see if it's causing this issue, also check the wire harness between the door and body of the car to see if there's a broken or frayed wire that may be causing this issue.

[@auginater4200]

Is it best to replace the regulator as well as the motor or should u just get a motor to save money most of the time

[@DougHinVA]

a socket can be magnetized with a strong ceramic guitar magnet (they are cheap to buy and stay magnetized). That keeps a bolt loosened in the socket and you pull it out and then remove the bolt by hand for storage until needed again.

[@1AAuto]

@dna079 A Chiltons or Haynes manual may tell you where on the vehicle this is located.

[@Rickatspeedoflight]

Nicely done! My window doesn't work. I replaced the switch at the door and that didn't help. Is there any reason to think it is not the motor that is causing the problem?

[@Harrygton]

Thanks for the video! You forgot to clear the lock rod through the plastic moisture shield before you put the door panel back on! Also it is a good idea to lubricate the window channel with a silicone base grease to avoid the problem in the first place!

[@coreymills1520]

Excellent job well done

[@clusa3721]

Many thanks for the video. I hope you are still around. Is there any difference with the right front passenger window? Should be easier? Anyone has repaired the right one in a Toyota Corolla 1998? many thanks in advance. 062019

[@douglaswebster9197]

If the motor is dead, and the window is stuck down, how can I free up the regulator to get at the bolts holding the window? Thanks: great videos, very informative and to the point

[@douglaswebster9197]

Belay the last. Drilled hole in door to access bolt holding the window.

[@1AAuto]

Once you pull the cotter pin out there should be a star shaped cover that goes over the actual nut. The nut behind the cover should be 30MM from what I've researched. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

[@csenor9180]

Thanks for the video. It provided the encouragement I needed to tackle the project myself. Keep up the good work.

[@comeon4317]

thanks for the demo on the regulator but I was also looking to replace the motor too. any way to help me with that too?

[@hikgerguy1234]

FIrst, thanks for this great video. Very clear how to get this project done. I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it best to have the window all the way up when starting? 2. When you took that last bolt out, what kept the window from just dropping down? It looked like you jiggled that assembly a little to get the window to drop.

[@1AAuto]

It may help to have the window in the up position. If you keep one hand under the regulator it will help to keep it from coming down. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@hikgerguy1234]

Well, it turns out if wasn't the motor in my case. I had posted to Toyota Nation and someone suggested spraying the rubber guides with silicone. Once I did that, the window went up and down MUCH easier. But thanks for that video. That is great info!

[@veyoutdoors620]

Hi, Do you know the part number of the wire harness on the door in this video? Thanks

[@avah12]

I have a window that is stuck all the way down, and I was told it was due to a switch short that caused the motor to burn out. Am I going to be able to do all of this work (to replace motor and switch, but not regulator) in the video even if my window is stuck in the down position? Thanks.

[@joelsasser592]

Thanks fort the video. Well done and to the point.

[@Melkiha18]

Thanks for the videos brothers!!! you may not know this, but i believe the river flows in you!

[@1AAuto]

No problem. Thanks for the kind words. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393

[@MarkEWelsch]

Do I need to replace this part, or some other part, if my window SOMETIMES won't go up. It usually works fine, but sometimes it will go up part way and stop. After waiting different amounts of time, it will sometimes go up the rest of the way, or only a little bit more. It eventually will go up all the way.

[@El21chicago]

Great video helped alot will replace it on my own ..thanks!

[@1AAuto]

[@williamchristie7365]

Excellent video!! Very helpful. Thanks for posting!

[@1AAuto]

You should be able to. Once you unbolt the window from the window regulator you can move it into the up position by hand if you need to. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Thank you for visiting our auto repair channel on KZbin. We carry new window regulators for your 2002 Toyota Corolla. We also offer FREE SHIPPING in the lower 48 states. Have a great day.

[@doneberhart]

The part you are installing has two rails which are approximately the same length and a stud used for the first step in installation. I ordered the part that is linked to the video. The part that I received has one short rail and no stud. I had to return that part. What part number should I order to get one that is identical to this video?

[@beungnung8319]

Thank you for making & sharing the video

[@WilliamPbrane]

Thanks so much for this, I was dreading having to do this and your effort here made it quite painless for me. Subscribed and I see you have a how to on headlights for an 01 corolla. I'll make sure and by the parts from you when I tackle that. Cheers.

[@hmoobdc5]

Can u do one for the rear passenger side? I dont know if regulator or motor. It goes down but goes up 2-3 inch and stop. Few mins later it can go up another 2-3 inch then stop. Sound like the motor is weak?

[@1AAuto]

+hilussdc5 We are always expanding our video library so we may have a video for this in the near future!

[@NFPOmaha]

On another problem: Do you have a video that shows how to replace the door latch on a 2000 Toyota Corolla? I call the "latch" the part that is inside the door, at the end of the door that grabs the stationary part that holds the door closed.

[@1AAuto]

Unfortunately we do not sell the adhesive or have a video on how to replace the door latch itself.

[@SIRKSxFUNK]

Hello is there a link to the lead of the clip power window because I accidentally broke it. I had to zip tie it.

[@papawjones]

Thank you very much 👍👍👍👍

[@againstthemachine86]

I have a 1990 right hand drive Corolla. The driver side window switches are burnt out and only the 2 left windows work. Is there any way to repair this by myself?

[@ctrashp]

thanks, for the video, makes changing a regulator a breeze.....

[@harrisme28]

Hi, My window works but often it will slow down and stop and then take a few minutes of driving to move back up in increments. Do I need to replace the motor or the regular?

[@1AAuto]

Depending on the year you might be able to just replace the window motor if it's getting tired. Here's a link to the power window motors on our website. www.1aauto.com/1998-toyota-corolla-power-window-motor/y-mo-c/1998-387-22?KZbin&VideoReply&ATony

[@pert42]

Did you ever fix the problem? I've just run into the same and don't want to waste money on a regulator if i dont need to

[@luisluyo5308]

I have a toyota corolla 2000. My rear right side window does go up or down. I check the fuses. They are good. Press the switch by the rear right passenger door and main switch but it doesn't work. Can you tell me what could be the problem?

[@1AAuto]

You might want to test the switches to see if they are good, or need to be replaced. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

hi do u know where the power relay is for a toyota corrola 1999 please

What kind of grease do you use in the regulator?

[@1AAuto]

If grease is needed, you can use lithium grease. +Erick González

[@NFPOmaha]

I don't see any problems with the wires or switch. Is there any type of diode in this circuit that may need to be replaced? I've taken the plastic water guard sheet on and off so many times (plus it is 12 years old) so the black adhesive that holds it to the inside of the door isn't holding it in place. Do you sell the adhesive?

[@AdvanRSForza3]

thanks 👍

[@1AAuto]

You will have to replace the switch. There is no way to repair most of the electronics on cars now a days.

[@louiesierra1879]

everything works fine but when I roll up window it comes out at the top?

[@1AAuto]

+Louie Sierra Thank you for watching. It appears the window is off track, or misaligned. We recommend making sure that the regulator and rollers are aligned by the OE specifications. 1aauto.com

Get the parts from 1A Auto. If you get cheaper parts elsewhere you maybe doing the job a second time. The Toyota dealer sells the regulator and motor separately. I was quoted $120 for the regulator and over $400 for the motor for the regulator. Unbelievable.

[@Fucknuts4u]

Why would 1A non-oem parts be better than another outfit selling non-oem parts? Does 1A make the parts themself so the quality is better??? Are the other outfits buying parts from somebody that makes them in their garage in China but 1A buys them from an elite force of craftsmen in China?
