Broken Window Regulator (again)

rlandrum · #1 (**permalink**) 07-03-09, 07:33 PM

My driver side front window seems to have jumped the cable. It was the passenger side last time (Christmas) and it cost $448 to have it fixed. They replaced the whole assembly, rather than just restring the cable.

I'm no expert, but I think I can do it myself cheaper.

I'm gonna pick up a used regulator assembly from ebay (if needed) and install it.

Only problem is, I can't find the access panel (or screws) to remove the door card. Is there something I'm missing? Can anyone send me a PDF or screencap from the manual to show where they are or how to pry it off so as not to destroy it?

Thanks!

Pull the gray panel behind the handle. It's velcro'd on. Then pop the perimeter clips and then lift up. See the Tech Tips section. There is a tutorial on how to fix it.

Once the first one broke on my 2000 deville the other 3 broke within 24 months. It's an easy fix maybe an hour or 2
