window regulator quick fix hack

showing how to permanently hold up a car window when the regulator/motor is broken

[@chrisspearline767]

You can just put plastic wall mounted hooks from the dollar store at the base of the window on the inside. It's holding mine up pretty good

[@honeybuzzard2843]

How, please be specific. I can't see it in my head.

[@chrisspearline767]

@@honeybuzzard2843 use e6000 glue to mount anything plastic at the bottom of the window. That way it won't slide down

[@nathanblack9938]

​@@honeybuzzard2843I was doing that for a while and every week or so the things would pop back off due to summer heat or storm or something. He's suggesting finding 2 suction cups and suctioning them to the bottom of the glass on the inside. Put them so that they rest on the plastic of the door to prevent the glass sliding down. But like I said it wasn't very effective for me

Thanks!!!

[@mikeguthrie6690]

Damn genius

[@charritolopez8223]

I just use a coat hanger but this will work

[@ChelsLynneD]

Would this work on a Chevy impala 2010? I just want to make sure I’m not getting screwed over by someone’s estimate. They also told me there was no way to keep it up permanently except tape or fix regulator.

[@alexanderanghel7946]

All regulators work the same. Another easy way yo do it is to take the door panel out, push up the window and then put a piece of wood whatever size needed to hold the window.

@@alexanderanghel7946 thank you!

[@shannonbailey7580]

Thank God I was thinking the block of wood and propping it up. Thanks!

[@catherinekeagy2699]

I need this done on my 1998 Chevy Malibu rear window. Thank you.

[@McLOVIN557]

Thanks for the helpful video. I'm gonna do this for my back window. One less thing to half to spend money on and one less thing to worry about failing in the future. A win-win for real! 👍

[@fastguned]

I am the spelling and grammar police. One less thing to HAVE to spend money on - NOT 'half". Learn to spell You will look less illiterate.

Just did this hack on my neighbors buick lacerne whose window just fell down and cable was jumbled. Cut cable and had to pull it several times from both ends to get desired tension but now its staying put. I used a countersunk finish washer to give more anchoring surface and it crushed around cable nicely, used thread lock as well. THANKS!

[@marcisaacs9407]

Great- easier than putting a screw through the regulator rail just under the trolley

[@jerriwiley1916]

You're a headache saver! Lol. I fixed mine in like 10 minutes. Thank you so much because the rain is coming in a few days. Now I gotta work on getting all of that duct tape residue off my window. 🙄 Lol

[@faridatamazight7789]

does the car has to be on, bc i tried to pull mine while the car is off and dosn't move up

[@addydog2012]

Good info! TY for sharing!

[@jmb1666]

Thank you! This is why I love KZbin. Saved me money. I was able to do this myself in no time!

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Great tips about using a wire tightened with a nut and bolt to hold the window up whether it's an existing nut and bolt or put one through an empty hole. I did it with a string yesterday and not I'm going to buy some wire to do it.

[@chrlmmartin7776]

!!!!!!!! Genius!

[@abelabner]

Very nice temp trick, ty sir!!!

[@adams13f]

Best way I've seen on youtube brother good job

[@Poopiepies]

Thank you. This will hold me over until tax time

[@18missmm]

Thank you so much!

[@masonjackson6999]

Genius. Thank you. Stuck in the snow and was the perfect temp fix to get home safely

[@joshlavold3200]

Extremely simple! But smart!!!🙏🙌🙌🙌 Thank you.

[@bksamples3072]

Helped a lot thank you.

[@wandawilliams1719]

You saved me this morning! I couldn’t fix it like you did with the cable. I had to jam the window in tight. Best I could do in a tight. This 65 year old woman thanks you very much!

[@natyrone]

Was excited for this and went through the process, but mine's not working the same. When I put the cable through the regulator and pull on the cable, it pulls my window DOWN, not up. Am I missing a step, or are the '04 Grand Prix built differently? If anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks

[@Mary-de3cw]

My plastic cable clis broken as well but not the motor not the reg.why can't I replace the broken plastic piece?peace!

[@currencybuddy2473]

Great Explanation your job is what you get paid to do, your Gift is what you were born to do #MYLESMUNROE

[@chanellynel]

Now I just need to figure out how to open my door to expose all of those contraptions lol 😅

[@shashgo]

So did you just remove the inside door plastic or somehow remove the metal layer as well
