Great instruction video on this replacement. Thanks a million for taking the time to make this. I have a 2007 Sonata and this rear window regulator just failed for no reason. Could not replace it without this video. Thanks again

Great video. I have the same car and issue. Very helpful on getting started. The biggest challenge for me was removing the glass from the regulator. I ended up having to break the plastic holder. No way around it. I had to purchase a rivet gun to install some pieces that came with the panel. I also couldn’t save the speaker because it was also held in place with a rivet screw. The newer regulator doesn’t come with a screw to hold the glass. You basically snap it in and no screw and glue needed to hold it in place.

[@stevhandingwall2028]

Mine is messed up too I can’t get it off because I can’t force the glass down to find the two 10 mm bolts to loosen

[@LoveTravel-fv1jn]

I am having same problem. Can't open beacause of window glass

[@MrMetacomGaming]

I just broke the plastic piece that held the window into it. I went to the hardware store and got some screws with wing nuts and locktite to put the speaker back in

[@tage202]

@@MrMetacomGaming good job. I tried drilling out the rivet screw but drill bit kept slipping.

Thank you

Hi Thanks for the video. I am working on my 07 Sonata (same window as your video) so this is useful. One question since you had that window plastic piece holding the glass that broke off - will my new regulator come with its own plastic piece if I break mine as well while taking out? or do I need to buy separate part for that? Thanks in advance for your help and videos.

[@lawjo1978]

Good Morning, the new regulator will come with the plastic piece as stated

I'm having trouble getting the glass to release from the regulator. Your video showed that you had trouble but not the solution. Can you give a couple hints on how to make that release?

[@lawjo1978]

Hello Vicki, You have to lower the window down a little bit. Maybe about halfway or so. And what you're see is a screw. You have take that screw out. And once the screw is out. You will need a flathead screwdriver 🪛 preferably a wide one if you have one. And you have punch out the area out where the screw was and it will release from the regulator

[@bradnewton1680]

@@lawjo1978 Yeh it took me several attemtps of fing with it to finally get it to release....I'm still not 100% sure what I did that worked...

[@lawjo1978]

@@bradnewton1680 Hey Brad, that tab that holds that window in is a real pain in the a-s indeed.

Hello how do i get that part of the cord that i will have to fish throw the regulator apart i can’t figure it out . I am using a flat head .. but i feel like i am about to break it

[@lawjo1978]

Hello Mace, did you take the screw out from the bottom of the regulator?

[@macetherebel733]

@@lawjo1978 yes .. But ended up getting the cord a loose … it just took a little work. Thank you so much for replying tho.

How you doing mr. Law Jones was curious to know what kind of fuel mileage are you getting on your 98 suburban since the about to do the same thing on my 99 suburban

[@lawjo1978]

What's going on Aaron. Thanks for reaching out. Greatly appreciated. Since I did the swap on my suburban I get 14 mpg with the a/c on or off and I get 19.5 mpg on the highway. And those are real numbers on my suburban

[@MrGilMoNayO]

how did your detach the door lock actuator? I can't figure out how to do it. (solved)

[@lawjo1978]

Hey MrG, When I did this repair I don't recall if I removed the door lock actuator. When I get a quick opportunity I can make a video showing how to remove that if that helps.

[@MrGilMoNayO]

@@lawjo1978 thank you I actually figured it out it was just how to unclip it that I was struggling with

[@ilovehaters1977]

I’m struggling to get the harness unplugged from the actuator any advice? Thanks in advance.
