Fixing my 350z window motor!

Finally fixing the driver's side window motor on my Z.
Check out my last video! • Bought a Z | First Dri...

[@LuciferFCS]

The Reason the window was partially down is because when the door is open, it lowers the window slightly. When you close the door, it closes the rest of the way, You probably had it right the first time it was in

[@nolimitedd6219]

LuciferFCS facts

[@Zmann179]

LuciferFCS yup!

[@NinoValleyTv]

I thought the same..damn what a waste

[@clue232]

Just did this on my new/used Z, turns out that the window setting trick he's talking about works. After the install it would go all the way up then half way down. So to reset it -- Put the window all the way down and hold the button for ten seconds, then up for ten, and suddenly it began to work.

[@totorigamie]

Thanks dude I almost went back too fully disasemble the door but i saw your comment

[@johnbrooker6134]

You just saved me $1150!! Mechanic said parts $700 labor $400+tax. I bought the parts off Amazon for $50 and took less than an hour of my time, thanks to your video... God bless you brother

[@raphaelyang5790]

The torque wrench is kind of a must right? I’m trying to fix mine and I’m living on a dorm so I don’t have any tools 😢

[@mattarian79]

with the door card off theres a relearn button on the window motor you need to hold down while using the window switch (not auto function) to take it all the way down then raise it up and release both buttons, you need to do this with the door closed.

[@Danny78041]

This is the second time I’ve come to watch this video because you explain so well! I am doing the passengers window motor now. Thank you so much!!!

[@squierjason8726]

I wanted to SCREAM "shut the door" when you couldn't get the window up all the way.I knew it would have saved you the time and headache messing with it.Had to of been frustrating,it was killing me.😂I wish I could have helped.I have an 03 Z and mine does the same.

[@JohnSmith-vq1kf]

Resetting After installing each component to the vehicle, follow the steps below. 1. With the door open, lift up and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully closed. 2. Get inside the vehicle and close the door. You need to close the door so the door switch is fully depressed. 3. Press and hold the reset switch. While holding the reset switch, press down and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully opened. 4. Release the reset switch.Then, lift up and hold the power window switch until the door glass is fully closed. 5. Open the door to release the door switch. The door glass should partially move down.

[@bruizzz13]

Appreciate it man! The only thing I added was holding the reset switch for 10 seconds and then letting go but everything worked out!

[@z33andme71]

You had it right the first time....lol When you shut the door, the window would have gone up the rest of the way to seal it up.

[@daytonreimer3821]

Oxy Saint this guy did so many things for no reason 😂

[@saleensupercharged]

the window goes all the way up when door is closed

[@12OCKSTA]

Lmao

[@kennylee9959]

I have a same issue today...I ordered new motor $38 on ebay as new one. I hope fix this issue with it. Thanks for sharing

[@glaeson9897]

Hey man. Did you install the ebay one and how did it hold up to today

[@rhammerfist]

For taking the motor off the bracket use an impact drill, #3 Philips will work. I used a #2 philips on my Impact Drill it worked just fine. Screws are tight from the factory.

Replace entire assembly Motor and regulator (tracks) I had the same issue and I replaced everything as a whole works great

[@mr.d6779]

I just performed the removal and replacement of the window motor for my 2005 350Z; thank goodness everything works like a charm after reassembly; I purchased the part from Amazon for $40 USD; I had to find another way around the dealership, who tried to charge me $1300 USD for this job; thanks for saving me by posting this vid!!!!

[@glaeson9897]

Hey man. Its been a year but how did the amazon motor hold up?

[@mr.d6779]

@@glaeson9897 it's still working with no issues

[@glaeson9897]

[@damiandelapp5490]

They make a silicone grease for the nylon runners in tracks helps

[@SteveMack]

* The windows only go up ALL the way, once doors are closed, so they don't accidentally crack when closing the door, being pillarless.

[@SteveMack]

Thanks - other videos dont explain whether to remove the gold bolts or not - I chickened out at that point 😆👍

[@JesseLockeHere2Do]

No one shows or tells you how hard it is to put the metal cover, that the motor and regulator mounts to, back on. That was the hardest part for me. You need four hands and two of them need to be alien skinny.

[@wasabikimchi7891]

Agreees

[@Z33trell]

Thes KZbin dudes always do that bs. They make everything seem like it’s super easy by cutting out all the difficult parts that’s why KZbin machanics get laughed at😂

[@ParisvonRabenau]

It looks like I will have to do the same as you here. Thank you for the video.

[@Nissanz-ii7ph]

Thank you going to try put mines up tomorrow

[@colinspowart]

Thanks for this video saved me heaps. Appreciate this by adding to the Z body:) Especially the sizing screws for the motor. Save me indeed stripping them!!

[@markwieland7101]

I felt so bad that he didn't know the window goes all the way up when the door shuts but I think he bought the car without the window working, great video though because I have to change mine today,. Obrigado!

[@Jp.VQ35]

Thank you for this!

[@svoncampe]

The screw/bolt that sits behind the door handle, what size/length is it? I need to replace it as my 350z came without it (and I'm about to attempt to switch out this motor). Thanks for the help.

[@hialeahe818]

What a pain in the ass this was but your video help a lot, thank you. BTW, the hold for 10 sec down and 10 sec up reset worked for me.

[@z33tanner]

Hey all I am in the process of replacing, well, reinstalling my window motor because it two of the three bolts and backed out and the motor was so loose it had started skip and strip the 3/8" drive. The problem is I cannot get the motor drive to turn in order to align it to the window regulator hole. I tried turning the motor by hand and the regulator with an extension but neither budge. Should I just replace my window regulator or is there a way to align the two? Thanks in advance.

[@2002adg]

Did you ever figure this one out?

[@z33tanner]

@@2002adg If I remember correctly I took the motor apart that way it could align with the drive. I there was no way to get it to spin otherwise.

[@luisdlc21]

MESSI!!! you are my idol ❤ I didn't know you fixed cars too

[@patrickbooth8009]

My philips screws wont sit into the regulator bracket through the OEM motor now. I don't understand what I need to do.

[@lucasjensen4309]

Bro there’s literally a black little reset button on the motor that woulda have salved ur window not going up all the way and it bouncing back down

[@W0mpW0mp999]

Lol that blue tape literally did nothing, you make a wedge to place between the window and door panel

[@pablovq]

Messi with a 350z??😂

[@rowlandreeves6168]

Dude, excellent. Very, very, helpful.

[@monster25cr]

this helped a lot, thank you!

[@johnmccoy3056]

thx a lot just replaced my driver side window motor thx to ur video

[@DannyAlcaraz]

Broski, the motor comes with a small black RESET button, look up the instructions on how to reset it, that's why your window gets stuck sometimes. I learned the hard way; bought a cheap motor from amazon as well, and it didn't come with the reset button

[@MelMedTV]

Awesome. I'm going to check that out!

[@maxpeter85]

me too, dont have reset button , so how did you reset the window? thx

[@DannyAlcaraz]

I had to purchase another with that came with it lol

[@maxpeter85]

Danny Alcaraz you mean the one have reset button? Thx

[@4jiggaalways]

I was about to say same thing but others beat me to it. The window is down to prevent damages to the spoiler. When the door is closed it goes all the way up

[@urvinorman7516]

Am having the same problem with the automatic rollup . It goes up then goes back down 1/4 of the way . Can somebody help pls

[@MyBlueZed]

Urvin Orman That problem is called the Bounce. I have that intermittently and I’m still search. Good luck. 👍🏻

[@Zinctwentyone]

Good video and detailed tutorial.

[@hausimports9858]

great help very well explained thank you

[@jimsonaranda2512]

i think its normal that window not close all the way once u open the door..

[@parkersmalling3723]

You have to hit the reset

[@angelmurillo5007]

My windows keeps falling??!!!!

[@paul8863]

Dude you should have lubed up the window tracks.

[@ritzenhauf]

what's the right way to lube things? there was lube on my window every time i raised it when i first got it.

[@KingAndrew5000]

[@chrissolis4024]

It rolls downs unusually slow lol

[@Dishhshdhddhd]

Does this work on a g35?

[@MelMedTV]

It should be relatively similar. I grabbed a used g35 4dr window motor for my passenger side and the only thing that was different was 1 mounting hole of the motor. But the other 2 holes lined up and the motor seemed secure. I haven't had any problems with it.

[@nissanMan_Z33]

Close the door it'll go up the rest of the way

[@Runescape.]

if you were getting a drift and race should have gone HR manual. that DE engine is old technology and weaker.

[@josephryan-adams7056]

Lucifer is right ....the last bit of travel happens when you close the door.

I'm going to pay Nissan that was painful to watch.
