If the window in the vehicle is unable to go either up or down in a proper fashion, one can be assured there may be a need to purchase some Window Regulator Repair Parts shortly. Luckily, the fix is not that difficult as long as certain steps are followed. Here is step by step instructions on how to perform the repair, in most cases.

Don’t Blow Your Fuse

First things first, check the fuses to see if they are blown. If the fuses seem to be fine, the next step will be to check for any loose wiring which may be present near the fuse box and the control panel. Press the window control button and listen for a hum. If you can hear it, but the window is neglecting to move, this is a sure the sign the window motor is fine, but the regulator is not.

Disassembly

Start by disassembling the inside of the door. This is done by removing the screws which are holding the door handle and arm rest. Remove the door cover. There should be a plastic sheet present whose purpose it is to protect the wiring, motor, etc. from rain or other weather-related damage. In a very careful fashion, take off all of the wire clips so the door cover can be removed. Do this gently to not damage the plastic sheeting as this will be re-used.

Playing With Glass

Unscrew the bolts and screws underneath the door cover and pull the window carefully up by hand. Using duct tape or something similar, make sure the window glass is held in place so that it does not slip back down. Loosen the regulator bolts and pull it out from within the door. Do this carefully as well as the wire will still be attached to the motor. Inspect the regulator to see if there is any visible damage which would require Window Regulator Repair Parts. Unfortunately, it may also need to be completely replaced. Once the regulator is either fixed or replaced, complete the same steps only in reverse order to place the regulator, window, panel, etc. back to their original positions.
