[@jimscott5193]

Great video yall, I just bought a 05 Colorado front windows are moody. This video gave me a good understanding on whats up. Thank you

[@JimPetty]

This was very helpful for me. Thanks for sharing!

Great video my man. When I removed my faulty regulator, it had no spring. The new one I ordered also had no spring..is this a fairly important component??

[@robertcampos4204]

Question & help, How to put back the C-claw Teeth holder that connects to the roller of the regulator or motor I believe, How to put it back?

[@beckymesky]

Thanks, I'll watch this again before I attempt. In a window actuator the same as a regulator?

[@djmiggy8332]

Awesome video! Did you have any trouble removing the spring?

One of my clips broke but is attached to the glass with some kind of adhesive from the factory . How should i go about getting the clip off . I was thinking of using a heat gun to melt the adhesive . But figured i ask first to see if there is a better way.

+THEHACSTA Heat gun likely won't touch it - I used JB Weld, actually, worked a treat!

I have my motor replaced but am having a hard time getting the regulator reinstalled. At first it went in smooth but I realized the spring in the back fell out. When I put it back in, it was impossible to line up the bolts. Do you have any reinstall advice or just trial and error?

[@uberDoward]

Sorry, Christina, no advise :( . Sometimes it can be a pain to get everything lined up just right.

Do u know where I can buy one separately?

[@uberDoward]

+Riley G Afraid not - that's gonna be a junkyard run, or ebay, for sure :)

[@beckymesky]

Do you suggest any websites to purchase the regulator at or any stores?

[@uberDoward]

I like local places like Autozone, so if it dies, I can get it swapped out!

[@plentynumb3997]

what did you use to remove the busted up clips? im going to do this process and need to know what i can use to remove the old clip glue so i can remove the broken clips

[@uberDoward]

Just picked them off with a small flat bladed screwdriver and my pocket knife, and cleaned the area down well!

[@beenstrate3456]

I figured this may require a special solvent, no? My colorado has 2 broken clips - both adhered to glass 😢

[@jefflinkous8217]

[@uberDoward]
