Camaro Power Window Motor Replacement - 4th gen F-body - FIXED! - CarParts.com

[@christopherawoznicki2046]

This hands down was the best video I found. I ended up just using a 1/2 inch drill bit for the hole to get to the rivet. This literally made a headache of a job and 30 minutes of time into a 10 minute repair. I highly highly doubt the 3 1/2 inch holes I put in the door would change any type of structure to the door lol.

[@TheDaninator]

Now I can go through a drive up lane like a normal person.

[@vaughnhaight963]

Simple, straight forward solution and no wasted time watching.

[@crhvideo]

I went through about half a dozen videos until I arrived at yours. This explains everything straightforward and I much appreciate the video from inside the door. Thanks! Edit: I replaced the driver's side motor on my '00 Camaro SS with the info from your video today. Encountered no problems and everything works again!

[@angellinck]

I wasn't going to like the video because of how big the holes were made, but Taco Bell is life, so not only you get a like. You also received a subscribe, thank you for the content.

[@loganjeffries1265]

Awesome video. I’ve been thinking about fixing my window for awhile now but couldn’t find an easy way todo so. This video was super simple and straight to the point👍🏻

[@yvonnesalamanca4350]

You made it look so easy lol... My brother is actually doing mine as we speak. As to why I pulled up your video.. THANK YOU!!

[@dustymiller6424]

Best one about this topic. Forget about the damn holes. Thanx for showing us a quick way.

[@arthurterry8752]

My 99 z28 driver side just went out…I had a 97 ws6 and it took me almost 2 hrs to do it correctly lol. I will be putting holes in my door for the z28. Thanks a bunch man, very informative!!! Earned my sub.

[@Badplum25]

Thanks, followed this for my 4th gen firebird. Much easier than removing the regulator.

[@jeanjeromemaury2283]

Perfect video ! Without it I would not have been able to repair my 99 Camaro !Many thanks ! Congrats ! Bravo ! Merci beaucoup from France !

[@TheDaninator]

Awesome! Glad the video was helpful to you. 👍

[@joeyd172]

Hello mister, just wanted to say thank you, thank you for keeping it simple and fast, I just fixed my trans am window motor today thanks to your video, and of course safe some money, thank you again

[@Tr3yM34]

Damn you made this look easy cuz taking out that motor was a pain in the ass, but without this video it would have been even worse so I thank you. Cant believe they made it so hard to service.

[@frankn4skeen]

About the little bezel. Hi! I've changed the loudspeakers on my 2000 Z28. The control bezel : You 1st have to gently remove the door panel (carefully lift it), let a friend hold it, then carefully press the metal clips of the bezel FROM INSIDE. You have just enough wire lenght to safely do it, and you'll never ever break that little bezel again nor scratch the hard plastic around the bezel. Thanks for the video! I've ordered the passenger window motor, I guess it's just about the same as the driver side.

[@TheDaninator]

Excellent tip! Thanks 👍

[@5150georgie]

Dude, just wrapped up. I can't thank you enough brotha. Heading to taco bell myself right now. Seriously, thank you very much for sharing!!! You got my follow.

[@TheDaninator]

Awesome!

[@graemer66]

I did one door some years ago and should have done the other at the same time but too lazy, had to watch your video to remember how to do it thank heavens for KZbin and people like yourself. The start of my problems started with a short drive just to take it for a spin, then I noticed the Air Conditioner did not work when at home I changed the relay with a new one and got that going then noticed window slow then stopped moving. So tomorrow morning I will be changing the motor (had purchased previously when I did the other side) Love driving this car but getting tired of working on it. Thanks for the video hope mine goes as smoothly as yours Graeme in Australia.

[@graemer66]

Done ! Big holes would have been the go, I did it with smaller hole and had difficulty in getting those bolts and nuts fitted my kit came with 6 nuts and star washers and 6 bolts guess these motors from Rockauto are used for other cars as well. Anyway used the 3 nuts and bolts for the Camaro and noticed I had 3 screws and star washers and only 2 nuts left over ?. Did drop some in the door a few times but could not find it even tried a magnet no joy. Just hope it’s not next to the gear assembly. These cars are made cheaply I noticed the door lining is made of 2 parts and held together by glue and some plastic nipples that go through the second half of the door panel then GM melted the end so it held together. Mine had come away just at one end but decided to leave it as it did not stick out. Last night I must have done this job 20 times in my dreams ALL WORKING now Big thanks. Graeme in Australia

[@mundanestuff]

Happy to find this video, super helpful for my wife's camaro.

[@kemicala]

Thanks for that inside door view. Now I have a better idea what the motor is doing. I've needed to replace my passenger door a while now. But I really hope you had a mask on when drilling those holes. Fiberglass is not something you want to breath in, even just a bit

[@russruss123rv]

Thank you Sir! We did this to my 1997 30th anniversary Z28 after watching your video,,,, Worked great!!!

[@TheDaninator]

Awesome! Now you can get tacos too! Lol

[@PaulSongas]

Thanks man! Just did my 01 SS tonight!!!

[@Chickenhead2174]

Taco bout a job well done. Another great video. I don’t think the holes were a mistake. You planned with the info you had. That’s how we learn.

[@TheDaninator]

I see what you did there 😉👍

[@bbay1977]

Well mine just took a crap for sure. You made it look easy so I guess I will order the part amd start the process.

[@Kutrey]

Thank you for the help. Just did the motor in my 97 z28 and it works great now

[@TheDaninator]

Awesome!

[@Noah_Flores15]

I'm so glad I came around your video! my brother is having this done to his car right now but the guy doing it removed a lot and did way more then you did. when I do mine I'm just gonna drill those holes cause that is so much easier and much less time consuming! Great vid!

[@rileyenia9388]

I mean it doesn’t take structure away and no one see it so who cares makes it easier the next time u gotta go in there also

[@markdavis5970]

I'm a taco bell fan myself and I have the same exact problem. thank you for the instructions... Very much so.. off to taco belll. Lol

[@danilmarsh320]

That’s so funny I have an 08 blazer and a 4th gen Camaro also. Our garages look identical🤣

[@03Lorac]

Thank you for your public service! You're indeed a hero! How did the motor hold up over time?

[@TheDaninator]

So far so good! Still getting tacos. 😄👍

[@johnclark1611]

Better than a service manual!

[@chemicalspore]

I'm not first but i won't be last. Fun changing them window motors

[@TheDaninator]

I remember watching your video on this issue. Misery loves company!

[@chemicalspore]

@@TheDaninator LOL. You're not a true fbody owner if you have not done this.

[@bobbydabutcha]

So cool! Thanks man! I am about to do this on my 1997 Firebird this weekend! :D

[@FiresKnights]

This helped alot, super easy to do. Big ups!

[@TheDaninator]

...as far as Project ZRS goes, I've had so much going on with family, work and other projects/obligations that I've not gotten to work on it. But, that's not to say that stuff isn't happening behind the scenes with it. I was able to find some parts that I'm super excited to share with you, as soon as I can get to it!!

[@vetteluvnh]

Outstanding! Will be changing the window on my '99 Z28 vert this weekend. Thank you!

[@victorbarner6254]

Oops, I forgot about the glass dropping, Glad I watched this first and saw you clamp it up. Great time to update to a better new speaker too. Big Holes make a car lighter/faster. Hahahaha

[@gunillapetersson3840]

Super informative and hi-qual video - Thanks!!

[@AndysDogHouse]

Hey Dan. Good video. Power windows age great. If they work. Thanks for sharing. 🍁👍👍

[@falcardeckion]

My 2002 Firehawk, and I thank you. 👍

[@zuescannon55]

Nice hardtop! About to do this tomorrow

[@spectreorganics5747]

Best video for this ! Thanks

[@russruss123rv]

@TheDaninator ,,,, Thank you so very much! Followed your video step by step and I’m back in business, just finished it up, 1997 30th Anniversary Z28

[@ryanstocks8972]

Not sure if there was a slow death with this window but my passenger side is basically dead. It would go some down but stop and it would move again after sitting for a few minutes. I had to pull up on window while using button to get it to close all the way. Now it's just unresponsive. Assuming it's the motor, both window buttons had the same results. This video will help.

[@MehdiAli-z9f]

Can you share what make & model camera you used for the inside view of the door? It was super clear and I need a tool like that.

[@TheDaninator]

I used my iPhone

[@Silverado5.3]

Just got a 2002 Camaro SS and drivers window will go up and down but super slow and won't go all the way up leaves a little gap I am assuming it just isn't strong enough. Passenger is not working at all. When you were testing the new motor do you have to realign the gears?

[@jpreleases]

The lovely thing about the inside of the door panel is that the buyer has no clue how bad it looks in there

[@scottschmidtmann2540]

I expect the next video to be sponsored by Taco Bell.😁

[@wdougt69]

Will this procedure work with a 1995 Trans AM? Thank you!!

[@markb3129]

Looks like a fairly simple fix, hopefully not too many go off on the spade bit usage🤣.. ✌

[@thrillbilly9785]

If it works, is it really a bad idea? 🤣

[@3Wheels1Block]

Grabs wooden paddle bit and proceeds to drill through door 😳.... Grilled Cheese burrito here I come!great idea with those clamps on the window glass 👍🏾.

[@TheDaninator]

😂 is it wrong if it worked? Cheesy Gortita crunch is my go-to!

[@3Wheels1Block]

@@TheDaninator we gotta do what we gotta do 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@alexigaitan633]

I can concur Taco Bell does make you make crazy decisions before and after you have it. Lol

[@erscustoms911]

Good job Dan!! Wish I had my camaro still, but I would just settle for some tacos 🌮 😝

[@xofficalx5830]

what type of rims are on the camaro i want those but in chrome

[@TheDaninator]

Pontiac GTO

[@KaptainDodiGaming]

Question im not sure if it my motor because the switch wont move the passenger side either, but I already changed the switch and the pigtail and the drive side still wont do anything either side but the button on the passenger side works fine so j know the fuse is good im stuck

[@ceezfier2546]

Good video bro

[@demon22slayer]

I just did this on My 98 trans am the drivers side was easy but my passenger side window is stuck down....hope I can do it the same way I did the drivers side

[@back2damoon]

Does anyone know a different way to keep the window from falling down after removing the motor? I'm not sure if I have a clamp like he shows. Also, can I drill through the fiber glass with the same drillbit used to remove rivets? (Wear a mask when cutting fiberglass)

[@minimanadam]

Lololol I laughed so hard when I seen his drillbit Gotta do what you gotta do !

[@royaltybuiltco]

My hero

[@livin2477]

Ended up using my electric drill after I broke 2 bits on the cordless 😂 them GM rivets were made to last but not the window motor

[@thrillbilly9785]

Dreading the day I need to do this to my bird. Looks simple enough though. I really need to address the power windows on the Poorvette. 😬 nice job bro. Oh, lay off the Taco Bell. There’s only so much raccoon meat a guy should eat. 🤣

[@TheDaninator]

If eating Taco Bell is wrong, I don't want to be right. LOL

[@markb3129]

🤣🤣

[@3Wheels1Block]

Racoons meat 🤣💀

[@mycatisromeo]

What kind of b.s. that they're riveted in? When they knew damn well those motors and regulators would go bad. Do you still have to drill out of replacing the entire regulator?

[@adrianshumate4564]

I still remember the uneasy feeling I got when I realized the fourth gens doors were all composite. Seems like there would be a crash bar or something in there!

[@TheDaninator]

You’re right! Nothing in that door, I’ve got video evidence. 😵

That’s to adjust the left and right side mirrors.

[@rileyenia9388]

For the switch bezel that’s why I just buy the whole switch off eBay for 30$😊

[@HypocriticYT]

Too bad there are not upgraded motors that last, I'm on my third one from original.

[@TheDaninator]

That stinks!

[@yvonnesalamanca4350]

Why do they make it like they'll last a lifetime and will never need replacing lol

[@GabrielTheGuitarist]

WHY ARE THEY RIVETS. come one GM, did you really think you make stuff to last? Lol
