There should be a few bolts on the outside of the door, or on the inside,
that hold the latch in place. You would need to remove the door panel to
access it to make repairs. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

vdeeson says:

How do I change out the door mechanism inside the door where the door
latches closed. I bought a new door handle for the inside but I don’t think
that is it.

1A Auto Parts says:

You could try to put some white lithium grease on the regulator channel to
see if that helps to speed it up.

I just recently had my driver door replaced with a used one. The body shop
used the existing power window regulator and motor in the used door they
replaced. Now I’m having a problem with the window going back up. It goes
down ok, but it stops intermitently while powering it to go back up. I have
to wait 5 to 10 seconds in between each attempt to power the window up a
little at a time. Would the assembly mostly need greasing first before a
motor would fail on these window regulators? Thanks!

1A Auto Parts says:

You may be able to, but the process could be a little involved to convert
it over. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Can manual door be switched to power door on GMC pickup

Charles Ward says:

thanks you

1A Auto Parts says:

You can attach the new regulator with rivets like factory did, or most
people just use some small nuts and bolts that will fit securely in there.
Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

CALLAHAN04 says:

So after drilling out the rivets, what will then keep that piece in its’
spot after replacing the regulator? Also, my truck has rivets holding the
speaker in, so what would be the most practical way to hold the speaker in
after that?

CPR Auto Glass Repair says:

Great how to 88-98 Chevy Truck window regulator installation.

1A Auto Parts says:

If the cable is hung up on something, you would need to free up the cable
to enable the window to slide down.

Shannon Looper says:

I need to replace the outside drivers side handle on my ’94 Burb. How much
different is the door panel(s) R&R on a ’94 from this video? Thanks and
great videos!

Christopher Ruiz says:

Thanks a lot for the help, this saved me a bunch of money.

isaac cantu says:

Hello, thanks for taking your time to make these great videos, they are
very helpful. I have one question, what if my window doesn’t roll down? I
want to replace the regulator but can’t even start because the window
doesn’t roll down.

bkrazy513 says:

how can i tell if my motor for my 97 chevy power windows is bad or if it’s
just the regulator…my wife drove it too McDonalds rolled the window down
and now it’s stuck down…this happened once before…and i took the door
panel off and ran through the wires and it fixed the problem last
time…but this time i can hear a “Clicking” sound when i try to roll the
window back up…i also ran the wires backwards to make sure it wasn’t the
switch…any kind of help would be great.

emunoz2036 says:

How do I roll the window down if my motor isnt working? thanx..

1A Auto Parts says:

HI Keith, We currently do not have a video that shows this repair. Usually
you need to remove the glass from the window regulator, then remove the
glass out of the top of the door window opening. This may to finagle the
glass and tilt it to remove it from the door. Hope this helps you out.

preston cooley says:

I have a 1997 chevy tahoe with the left side rear door window regulator
motor has gone out. I bought a replacement motor, but I cannot replace just
the motor because the original motor is permanently attached to the
regulator. does 1aauto have a regulator with the motor allready attached
for the left side rear window of my tahoe? also I do not know what size
those rivets are. I would like to get the correct size to use and replace
the ones I cut out. what size is used for the rivets?

Rafael T says:

Thanks for walking me through the process. The rod that is connected to the
exterior door handle came loose and the door would not open from the
outside. I used this video to remove the inner door panel and access the
small area behind it. Door works like new and best of all I didn’t have to
pay a dime to get it fixed! Keep up the good work and thanks for providing
such great videos.

robert ventura says:

can i just replace the motor only or do i have to get everything ?

Rockabillybarbie says:

Who needs a man when we’ve got YouTube ?! Lol this was very helpful !

kenman1717 says:

i had to do that a couple times on my old 97. had to do the window,
regulator, panels, latch, rod, inner and outer handle, was a mess. needless
to say everything worked a whole lot better afterward. i fixed everything
at once but it all go at once. inner handle froze then broke. someone tried
to break in, broke outer handle and window, then the latch seized up and
the rods bent.

1A Auto Parts says:

You can find the white lithium grease in your local hardware store. It
comes in a can so that it’s easy to spray on hinges and anything that you
would like to grease. We carry a great line of window regulators on our
website 1aauto.com or you can call Tony @ 866-403-3393 Have a great day!

Rey Vazquez says:

i have a 2006 chevy silverado and the driver’s window will not go up or
down what could be the problem? I tried replacing the driver window power
switch but it still wont work. What could be wrong with it if you could
please help me

casey jones says:

What do you do if the window is stuck in the up position?

Pitz ikata says:

i have a 99 tahoe, the drivers side window rolls down sometimes and others
gets in a bind and looks like it may break the window. this vid will aid me
in getn it apart but what do i replace. what do look for. also what size
speakers in door so i can replace those while im in there

1A Auto Parts says:

You should be able to just replace the motor if that’s the only thing that
has gone bad. here’s a link to the window motors for your Chevy truck on
our website. Just copy and paste this into your browser

mexdogg74 says:

@1aauto ,, YOUR THE MAN!!!! THANKS!!! IT WORKED…

1A Auto Parts says:

@traper0212 The part that (sounds like) you are describing is part of the
window regulator. We sell them on our website. Here’s a link to them.

1A Auto Parts says:

We currently do not sell a window regulator for the rear door on that
truck. You could either use similar rivets to attach it back to the door or
some small 1/4 screws.

nandilh says:

robert ventura says:

thank you very much for the info !!!!

phazer277 says:

I was talking about the inner. Just the handle part. I did replace mine. It
was metal. Thanks for the video.

Klowner_760 says:

Do u guys have a video installing front door speakers and stereo? For 97
tahoe 4×4

1A Auto Parts says:

No problem at all. Have a great day!

1A Auto Parts says:

@FxOxC Glad to help! Please check out our website or YouTube channel next
time you may need parts or information.

1A Auto Parts says:

@eramirez189 If you are using the hand remote that is how it works. Push
the button once and the driver door unlocks push it again all the doors
unlock. If it is not that simple then try replacing one of the door lock
actuators and see if that helps 1 door. If so replace them all.

wayne f says:

Great video I had no idea how to get that plate off to put the window on
track :>)

1A Auto Parts says:

We currently do not have an auto repair video on that particular repair.
We’ll keep this request in mind during any future repairs.

xK1NGxK1LLAx says:

Does this cause the window to not roll up and down?

1A Auto Parts says:

Hi Martin, Once you remove the window crank, the rest should be the same.
Hope this helps you out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Daniel Abraham says:

Ok, my son shot my window with a BB gun on accident, but it’s shattered and
is still in shaped would i still do the same thing?

BASS CHEF says:

thank yoy for this video i was lost did not know how to replace my driver
side window you saved me alot of cash thank you!!! =D

patrickneal22 says:

can i leave the window up the whole time if i am removing this to get my
outer door handle off?

casey jones says:

I gotcha. Well it worked this morning. It tends to do this when it gets
really hot outside, it won’t function. But when it cools off it starts
working again. I’m going to grease up the track and hope for the best.
Thank you so much for your instructional videos. They have been most
helpful!!

1A Auto Parts says:

You may want to test the power going to the switch with a test light to see
if there’s power going to it. Also check the fuse to make sure that it’s
good. Hope this helps you out. Have a great day! 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
