Renault Clio Electric Window Removal

[@rockhop8595]

why so many dislikes, this has to be one of the most clear and precise tutorials on youtube

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Probably because i dont remind viewers in the video to "smash the like button and subscribe if you want to see more videos" i just assume anyone on youtube knows by now how the site operates haha.

[@hareruns]

Thank you so much! One of the most useful car repair vids I have ever found, especially as I have exactly the same model! Without the I would have made a complete hash of the job.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

thanks for the comment

[@PL7802]

Thanks for posting this. The clip had come off at the bottom of the window and the glass had slipped out of position. For a DIY bodger like me this is like brain surgery. With the help of your vid....I only lost it twice :)

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Good to hear it solved the problem

[@cosmeticcarrepair]

Very easy to watch. You did a cracking job filming that while it was raining buckets. Wish I'd seen this before I did the job, probably would have saved me an hour of working it out myself 😊

[@Tom-zs5mx]

Thank you so much for this video, brilliantly helpful. I didn’t have a power probe but used couple of short wires to reconnect the motor power feed back to the motor & then temporarily reconnected the window switch to lower the window. Thanks again.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks for the comment, Yes a power probe isnt essential, just a handy bit of kit for fault finding but two wires work just as well

[@henrlima87]

I forgot to plug in the guide for the window i was wondering why it wouldnt go down. Thanks for this. 👍

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Im glad the video is helpful, and good luck with the repair, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks. i enjoy working on the car but its even better to know the videos are helping other people fix their cars.

[@bobbyboyanderson]

Hey thanks for uploading this video, gave me a few insights in to how I am going to tackle the removal of the window sliders from my Laguna Cheers Mate

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

I used tigerseal on the 406, its a nuisance to get off but it seals much better than silicone. Silicone isn't great on metal as it can cause rust to develop under the silicone. As for damaging the door card, the sheet behind it is smaller than the outline of the door card so it shouldn't really matter if its messily applied as the door card will hide it.

[@holyjoemuttley1]

All done and dusted. You just saved me a fortune. Cheers! :)

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Conrad Icer thanks for the comment

[@dimitrisof]

Good job mate ! I really appreciate for that you do for us !

[@beitomartinez]

Thank you very much! Now i know how to fix my Clio's Window!

[@yurayura5814]

Thanks for the vidéo explanation good I did not find movie in french who explain the procedure

[@mattisphatt1]

Thanks for the video took me a while to figure out that there is a small hole in the window that you put over the slider. Had me puzzled for a while as the guide rail was in the way. But ace as far as that goes!!!

[@essexonmyvelosolex4796]

A well made video -Thank you for helping.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Once the glass is up and out of the way, take the mechanism out of the car and have a look at it, see if there is anything stopping it from moving up.

[@crman8185]

Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now ahead of it i know i need to get power probe

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Glad to hear it helped

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks for the comment Its a bit tricky to show it on the camera, but now you have it figured out its easier for the next time.

[@hunthing]

Great video, helped me to take the door card of. Thanks! Question: When refitting then a sealing compound has to be used between the door card and the door. Do you know what would be suitable for the job? I was thinking of silicone, but in case I have to remove it again, then it would be impossible without damaging the door card.

[@steviidee]

So glad I found this video!!!!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

No noise at all when it tries to go up? In this case i suppose its best to close the window up to keep the car dry. Undo the clip, remove the glass from the mechanism and pull it up to the closed position. Then get some duct tape stick it to one side of the glass, bring it over the top of the door and onto the other side of the glass. Make sure the tape gets well stuck onto the glass. Also wedge some cardboard or a bit of wood on the inside to hold the glass, be careful the glass doesnt fall.

[@matiasparroyo]

Thanks!!! It is very helpfull for me.

[@vern600r]

Cheers! Thank you very much you saved me a few quid :)))

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

The glass may not be sitting in the tracks correctly, or the bracket holding the glass to the regulator may be broke and not pushing it up correctly.

[@nediljko777]

thx for this, i really appreciate it

[@davewhite6379]

Hi, great, clear bit of film ... and working in the rain too! I have just acquired a Clio with both windows not working. Using your film I have the panels off everything is there but the glass is held up with pieces of wood, what do think is wrong? If the motors stopped working the glass should stay up, unless they packed up with the window down I suppose? Hope you can help!

[@p.i.6373]

Do you know how to set new window regulator, that white plastic on wire that holds window, on metal sliding part for Clio mk2 2005? It is impossible, there is no open part of metal slider where you can slide new regulator on metal.? Any help?

[@frankiehannon8961]

Thanks great video helped me a lot. Replaced my daughters electric window, but now the window comes up at an angle and pops out if you dnt keep your hand against it. Its got a small hole near top right hand side should something be in the hole to keep it in and guide it up?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

The small hole holds a piece of plastic which keeps it in the window runner, the dealers might have them in stock, one out of a scrapyard is probably the cheapest option.

[@frankiehannon8961]

Your a star thanks for your help

[@zetabola1]

+peugeotCitroen2CV i need to put that piece, but i dont know in what posicion the glass must be to put that litle piece. can you tell me?(god, what a crappy english, sorry)

Fantastic sir,thanku

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks for the comment!

It could be, is it making any noise as it goes back up?

To take off the door panel , is it necessary take off the wing mirror ? Best regards

[@danielcosta9578]

nice work.really appreciate it..f*** the rain :)

[@viperz888]

Any idea if the glass is the same for a 2007? Seems there are different versions from photos online

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there, From memory the Clio MK2 was surpassed by the MK3 in 2007 unless there were run out campus models still floating about. Definitely the MK2 and MK3 would share nothing in terms of actual glass.

[@BaaarnnzBoyDiagnostics]

The window broke on my passenger side how would I fit new one please? Get the actual Glass in

[@musikk83]

great video, but why have you removed the complete cable? and the side mirror ?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

+musikk83 Ah sorry, the car was one i was stripping down for spare parts and when i was making the videos i just disassembled all of the parts

[@misteram1759]

Hello! This video is wonderful but I can't understand the part with the power probe at 3'52! How does it work? I have an electric window mechanism problem and my window is stuck at the top so that I cannot access to the guide... Is it possible to make the window to fall without any power probe? If not, which power probe should I buy?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi A power probe is basically a tool to supply electricity to components, in the case of the electric window power was supplied directly to the motor bypassing the electric window switch unit which failed. You could just get two long lengths of wire and do this but the power probe is a bit more precise and is usef​ul for other electrical functions such as detecting if there is voltage present. This one is a Sealey one and is perfectly adequate, however, they do a more elaborate one which may actually be a rebadged Power probe from the US. Power probe is a brand name, as far as I know, I'm not sure what the generic term for this tool is, searching for power probe will show the most results.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi, yes i was using the car battery as the power supply. Reversing the wire polarity will cause the motor to turn in the opposite direction.

[@charah.7842]

Hey! First of all, great video! Second, I have a question: The guide that holds the glass in place, so the little thing on the whole mechanisme that holds the window, what is it called? Because mine broke and now I can still hear the engine but the glass doesn't move .. Can I buy that piece alone or do I have to buy the whole mechanism, while it's actually still working..? I hope you can awnser the question as soon as possible! Thank you!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi, its a part of the window regulator, i would call it a guide or slider, i have a video where i replace one on a 607 window regulator. This is probably the part you need: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-Clio-MK2-window-regulator-repair-kit-clip-Front/132410172224?hash=item1ed442e340:g:dscAAOSwaSZaF-tZ I searched on ebay for renault clio window regulator repair kit

[@charah.7842]

peugeotCitroen2CV Thank you so much!!

[@tiestotjolle6956]

How much volt did you put on the power probe?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi, the power probe is basically a long set of jump leads from the battery with a switch on the end, so it will generally deliver battery voltage which is around 12v.

[@PabloSpoke]

Burglars broke the window of my Renault clio coupe and I seem to get a replacement here in Nigeria, any idea on a workable substitute? Thanks a lot

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

leramoh ajayi I didnt know there ever was a coupe version of the clio do you mean a 3 door? (Searching for 3 door may yeild more results with google) Cheapest fix is to cut some perspex to size with a jigsaw and glue it in with silicone. But there are plenty of scrapyards with a good supply of clio parts.

[@PabloSpoke]

peugeotCitroen2CV , it's a two door, guess I used coupe wrongly

[@Zooumberg]

If I'm just replacing the pulley wires on the regulator, am I right in thinking I only have to remove the electric motor and the guide? I can't get that plug off that goes from the door to the rest of the car.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

When you say wires is that the steel (or stainless steel) cables that pull and push the window about? To do that its best to remove the full regulator assembly, ie motor and guide and fix it on a bench. This was one of my earlier videos so perhaps not terribly clear, if you look at my recent uploads ive done the same process on a 2006 clio 3 which is fairly similar to this car.

[@Zooumberg]

Thanks Peugeot, I didn't get any notification for your reply.

[@Zooumberg]

peugeotCitroen2CV Oh yeah it is the cables. The ones I removed were totally shot and wrapped around the motor.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Did you rebuild the regulator with new cables?

[@Zooumberg]

peugeotCitroen2CV That's a low priority, the car isn't getting me to work. But thanks for the help.

is it easy to insert a new glass in the door? My glass is broken

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Yes its quiite easy, just bring the mechanism down half way and slide in the new glass. Sometimes sliding it in can take a bit of time; inserting the glass at an angle or removing the window rubbers may help this.

ok, thanks for your answer

[@CrossingParallels]

thanks!

[@petar80]

But....what if window motr is broken and you cant lower window like in my case !

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Open up the door card, and seperate the motor from the mechanism, then with the motor off you should be able to move the mechanism and thus the glass downwards.

Can you make new vid "how to change motor cables only" not to replace it. Please.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Лазар Лаза Малиначки Масни Hi i dont have the Clio anymore, i have a video changing the guide on a 607 regulator but havent yet needed to do cables

[@samlee3784]

Лазар Лаза Малиначки Масни just unscrew the casing on the cable drum attached to the motor and change the cables, the just hook in the slots then feed them into the guide on the runner. Now move the guide all the way to one end of the track and wind that cable fully on the drum and wind the opposite about 1 and a half time around the drum. Then refit the cable outer into the casing and refit the casing to the drum. This is under tension and will take some doing, then screw it all back together. Just make sure you make not of which cable came out of which slot or look for wear or grease marks as there are about 6 slots and only 2 cables lol.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Im not sure, can you run a feed to the motor like i did, you dont need a power probe just a 12v battery and 2 wires, put them to the motor and try and get the window to go up that way. Other than that i dont know why it wont go up, without actually looking at it. But try renault forums.co.uk and see what they say.

[@TheChudoviste]

thank yu

[@sebastiangorican8464]

Wow

[@SunnyFLBoy]

[@Anthony_in_Bloomington_Indiana]

What do you mean use a power probe to lower the window? I never heard of a power probe before. What is it and what is it connected to? This would be a better video if you spoke English and explained the steps instead of using subtitles.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

The power probe can also be called a circuit tester, there are a whole load of names for it, but power probe on ebay will show you plenty of them, this is the one i used here in the video: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sealey-PP1-Automotive-Circuit-Electrical-Tester-12v-Power-Probe-/121357087067?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1c4172315b It is connected to the battery, then the probe itself can be taken around to various parts of the car to supply electricity to them, its much handier than using a pair of wires from the battery. I personally prefer to use subtitles for a number of reasons, its much easier to get straight to the point and describe what needs done, and you can pause the video on any point to read the subtitles, trying to rewind youtube to hear something is not as easy. My accent is also a bit hard to understand if your not from northern ireland, plus the subtitles can be translated if needed.
