MERCEDES BENZ G WAGON W463 WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACEMENT.

[@bulldog7196]

Did this on my G today. Your video made it simple. Saved myself over a thousand dollars by doing it myself instead of letting Mercedes do it.

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad you found this video useful and it saved you a bunch of money!!!! 💯

[@shanelawler7689]

Used this video today to zip tie my window up and now have parts on the way. Your videos are always helpful and have come in use for at least a few wagon repairs. Thank you.

[@KRTLyfe]

That is awesome, it brings us great joy when we receive comments like this! We are glad you found our videos useful and hopefully entertaining LOL.

[@southpaw9579]

Had to give a shout out and thank you for this video. My G63 rear passenger just failed too, came across this video and put the new one in myself. Appreciate you!

[@donhill6215]

Great video. This was less complicated than the front door latch replacement I did awhile back but your video made understanding the alignment of the replacement regulator simple. Thanks for the simple explanation. Worst part is the several door card clips will break off when removing and I couldn’t find decent replacements. Ordered a “assortment package” of clips from Amazon and NONE of them fit my door. Ended up with 4 or 5 broken so door card is not a snug fit anymore. Will try to locate W463 specific clips and replace. Pro=tip for everyone: Do NOT forget to attach the door latch cable before buttoning up the door card then realizing you can’t open door and have to retrace your steps!!!

Thank you very much for making this video. Mine just broke, same window.

[@johngabbard5106]

Thanks for this video. It was helpful. Anyone who owns a G Wagon needs to know how to change out the window regulator because it is only a matter of time before it breaks. The cable spool is poorly made. I think I’ve had to change out 5 or 6 in two trucks over the past 15 years. A couple recommendations for everyone: 1) label the wires and connection points (1-1,2-2,3-3,4-4,5-5) with a piece of tape when you disconnect them. My recent spool break occurred on a Saturday afternoon. I couldn’t order the parts until Monday and didn’t get them until Wednesday afternoon. A long time to remember which wire connects where. 2) The zip ties would not fit so I braided some wires and tightened with a dowel rod to secure the window until the parts arrived. 3) Order 12 door card clips when you order the window regulator. They are going to break when you pry the card off and the rear doors need 12. Make sure all 12 holes are clear or you will get to be frustrated when you are juggling the door with one hand to protect the wiring and the card will not seat 4) Place a piece of tape on the handle side of the door direct behind the clips. It makes it easier to line up the clips and holes at the top of the door and shows you where to press at the bottom and sides to ensure it is seated properly. 5) For my 2015 I needed to a T25 to remove the screws not a T30. Don’t try to remove them with a flathead or a hex! Thanks again!

Thank you!

Great video! Love your content. Just bought my window regulator for my G. Installing this week. Dealer wanted $1,200!! I laughed.

[@KRTLyfe]

Thank you so much, Glad you didn’t over pay the dealership. Unfortunately a lot of dealers charge too much and do less than spectacular repairs.

[@bulldog7196]

Hello my friend, thanks for your vidéo, that helped me a lot👍. I changed the système Yesterday, that took me one hour, i payed 250 euros for the système, i winned money lol... No need to deconnect switches, you return the panel door inside the vehicule, Links are enought longer, thanks a lot !

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad you found the video helpful in your repair.

[@REALITY_ONLY_PLEASE]

I’ve done this replacement several times now and it’s more a pain in the neck than a hard job. Messy and potential for broken bits. Good luck all.

[@caleb2242]

Can I replace the door panel clips around the edge of the door without taking the screws out of the center (so replace the outer clips without removing the whole door panel)?

[@KRTLyfe]

You could give it a try but I think it is easier to remove it.

[@mikes2654]

Thank you for this!

[@KRTLyfe]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MrEandreassen]

Having this problem with my G55 now (thanks for the video!!). Still haven't come to terms with changing such a big part because a wire is broken, seems like such a hustle.

[@KRTLyfe]

You might be able to use your old motor and only replace the regulator. Sometimes that takes a bit more doing and hopefully your new regulator fits the old motor etc. I’ve done it on a C230 but it was a bit trial and error.

[@MrEandreassen]

@@KRTLyfe That is my plan but still seems like such a waste. Over $400 for a part that really only needs a couple of new wires that should cost no more than a couple of $ :p

[@cslagrad]

I love the video. I was wondering if you know if the front replacement window regulators parts and process are any different from the back windows? I have to change both my fronts.

[@KRTLyfe]

The process is very similar I would double check the part number to insure you got the right part. Thank you for watching I hope this helps.

[@RustbeltBlues]

The part numbers are different from the front to the back and the side to the side. Each door as an individual part number for the window regulator. Also, some of the window regulator parts for the 2002 w463 model year - are a little different.

[@cslagrad]

I did replace the front driver and passenger window regulators as I purchased aftermarkets parts from Carparts.com. I paid $324 for both which included shipping and CA sales tax. It wasn’t hard to do the installs as I asked my brother in law to help me. I recommend taking pictures of before connections as that helped a lot.

[@cslagrad]

Your video gave me confidence to do it and I sincerely appreciate you for it. I saved $600 on labor alone for 4 hour process/project

[@KRTLyfe]

Jake Bedrossian that is awesome to hear I’m very happy that we were able to help you! I have a G wagon Brake video coming up! Hopefully you get some use out of that as well!

[@You76f]

What is the purpose of that small square shape on the front window drivers side

[@KRTLyfe]

It is a sensor, you can open/ close all the windows and sunroof. Most models have it.

[@mike123V]

Did you ever get a Hi/Lo neutral warning when the driverside door was open?

[@KRTLyfe]

No, the door and the gear box are two separate systems. You will get that warning when you gear box isn’t happy for some reason.

[@mike123V]

@@KRTLyfe I totally understand they are different, I'm only reporting on what is happening.

[@hmrmilo]

Hi! My dealership replaced my regulator last week. But window stopped working again, and now they say I need a new motor. Does that sound right? Are they 2 totally different parts? I have a 2010 g55. Thansks!

[@KRTLyfe]

I have seen them sold as different parts on some models but typically the entire window regulator is one part.

[@KCKnowsBest]

Great video. I need to change my door lock actuator on my g63 front passenger. Once the door panel is removed is it hard to replace the actuator? thank you

[@KRTLyfe]

I've never had to replace an actuator. I can't imagine it being much more difficult tho. Getting the door panel off should be most of the work involved.

[@KCKnowsBest]

[@jketzel7826]

I got the window fixed but when trying to put the panel back on I can not get the door latch to work. Do you have a video on how to do that?

[@KRTLyfe]

Make sure you reconnect the cable properly. It has two connection points. A point that holds the sleeve and another that pulls the inner cable.

[@alialrashidi1764]

you make it look easy, haha thanks for the video .. i did it before and hated every minute of it as you said "tedious".

Thank you! Yeah it’s very tedious not as bad tho if you don’t have to drill out those silly rivets!

[@hampusmilanb362]

The small speaker that is on the door panel, can you Remove it from the door panel without taking the Whole door panel of the car? Thank you!

[@KRTLyfe]

Depends which year G wagon you are taking about. If you are taking about the Midrange speaker I’m pretty sure the answer is no. If you are talking about a tweeter on a newer model possibly but you might run the risk of breaking a tab.

Sounds like you might need to replace it unfortunately. I believe the box you are talking about might be the seat controller.

Thanks for the great video. Everything went great until I tested the window. When I power down the window it goes down at an angle (which was why I replaced the regulator). Any idea what I need to do to correct this?

[@KRTLyfe]

WaiterWallet is the window connected to the regulator properly? There should be two screws holding it to the regulator.

[@WaiterWallet]

@@KRTLyfe I must have missed that step in the video. Are those the two screws where you had the zip tie? I thought that was were you attached/screwed the top of the regulator to the door panel. If that isn't the case, can you please help with the steps I'm missing? Thanks and GREAT video!!!

What kind of scanner do you have?

[@KRTLyfe]

Base Bowman my scanner is very rudimentary. I did not use a scanner performing this repair.

[@basebowman2542]

I know, I was just asking since you do a lot of repairs. And sometimes you need a scanner to relearn modules.

[@KRTLyfe]

Base Bowman yeah, I need to get a better scanner unfortunately for most of the things I “want” to do. I would need Mercedes STAR and PIWIS and a PC to load all the updates. So for now I take my cars to EuroFed when I need anything like that done. I’ve also had less than stellar experiences with scanners on Amazon. For example I had an SRS light on my C230 Kompressor. I got a scanner the adapter etc. and the thing still wouldn’t communicate with the car properly and I didn’t have the time or patience to try and troubleshoot it with the vendor.

[@KRTLyfe]

Base Bowman great question tho and we sincerely thank you for watching our channel.

[@basebowman2542]
