1A Auto keeps my old Ranger going strong. Thank you for your informative videos and the great suggestions in the comments from your viewers as well.

Matthew Gardner says:

Good video, but would’ve been nice to add what size drill bits you used to drill rivets out, and what size bolts you used to replace them.

this is a great video…. thank you for putting it together. Just what I needed on my 94 ranger…. and I purchased the replacement regulator from 1a auto after I viewed it a few times and removed the old regulator.

Could I do this to convert my crank windows to power windows?

Bandido says:

I watched other videos here on YT and noticed that the rivets holding the glass don't need to get removed, I am watching the wrong video or is this just a different way of doing this?

How do you get motor out if the window is down

D.G. DeGennaro says:

Having just replaced one, let me give you what the video doesnt show. It's pretty simple removing the door handle. Take your time disconnecting the switches as not to break the connectors. The door panel is only two screws. Take off the door panel by lefting up on it and it will come off. The plastic cover just peels off. You'll see the window motor connector at the bottom of the door. Disconnect it and put a meter to the wiring to ensure you are getting power to the motor ( most times can be just the switch). You'll see four aluminum button head rivets. If you plan on replacing the rivets, you need to be careful drilling them out so you dont elongate the holes. Either way, use a 1/4" bit and drill into the rivet first, then follow up with a 3/8" bit to take out the rivet. To get out the motor, may help removing the speaker so you can reach in behind to position it in and out. Once you have the rivets out, it really helps having someone hold the window and move it up and down while you disengage the motor off the window track. Conversely, you'll need that helper getting it back in. Here's a trick. I replaced my motor using 1/4"X 1/2"length bolts, washer, and nut (not lock nut you'll see why). When you get the new motor, you superglue three of the bolts in from the backside of the motor. This helps hold them in place when you line up the new motor in the holes. The fourth you'll get last. Position in the new motor , dont put it in the holes yet, get the motor slider in the track with your helper moving the window up and down. Once you get the slider in the track. then line the motor in the holes. Having superglued the bolts makes it easy to put a washer and bolt on. Snug down those three bolts (if you use a lock nut the bolt will probably spin and you can't get a wrench on the backside of it). Hook up your switch and you can run the window up or down to get that last bolt in. Install the bolt from the inside, this prevents from hanging up when runnning the motor. Trust me, was a lot harder getting out the old one then putting in the new one. You will save about $250 doing it yourself.

My driver window wont go all the way up. It stays almost half an inch open every time. And i removed the panel to see maybe the arm wasnt going all the way up but it seems like it is. Any ideas on how to fix or what it could be?

Houuboii says:

You can do this without drilling out the rivets but youd need to drill a hole to remove a screw that holds in the motor
