Legendary! The “bang the white clips off,” and “SLAM the glass down,” were most terrifying. 🙃🙈 Thank you!
I second that! Especially when you've never done it before!
At Med School they say "you're not a real surgeon until you kill your first patient"
This is the best video on UA-cam, how to change window regulator without disconnection of mechanical parts and main wiring connectors around the door, just small things and job is done. Awesome work, Sir. 👌👍👍I repeated your way and it took me one hour and half without any experience. Wow! And this is just after couple of times watching your video. Thank you very much, my friend. You saved me 300$ of shop work. All that cost me in this repairs was aftermarket part - 70$ only. I saved on part too, because in Canada Mopar regulator cost between 197-250$$ plus tax.
Normally, this is something I would rather pay someone else to do. However, when your window won't go up and it's the rainy season, it needs to be done in a hurry. I watched this video and then called my local Chrysler dealer who actually had the part in stock. An hour or so later, my window is working like new again. Thanks for the video!
Great that it helped
Thanks bro for showing me that I didn't have to unclip that hidden lock rod and completely remove the inner panel. I literally watched 2 videos where they broke the clip. But nobody had a good shot of the clip. Then you came along and snuck the regulator right in. Thanks
This tutorial knocked it out of the park! I followed it step by step, one pause at a time and was able to successfully replace the regulator on my 2011 Chrysler T&C. This saved me over $120 as the part itself had a lifetime warranty... THANK YOU!!!
Great to hear!
My man.. you get 1 demerit for the bosch plug but anyone would be hard pressed to put together a better video on this - was exactly what I needed. Thanks dude.
FYI. I don't get a dime from Bosch. They simply are the best tools on the market.
Just replaced the regulator in my wife's van doing exactly the way you did it. I was not trying to deal with the door latch and just like you said the aftermarket parts is a pain but it got done. Thanks, this saved me a few hundred dollars.
I wanted to thank you for this video. My wife came home distraught as she rolled down the window, heard a loud crack, and it wouldn't roll back up.
Found your video as the number 1 search result and followed it all. Took me an hour and a halfish with the tools you mentioned. I got an aftermarket that did line up OK, thankfully. It was $60.
Thank you again for the excellent video.
Glad it helped
I followed this video to replace the window regulator in my 2011 town and country and i must say thanks for the short cut which worked perfectly. way to go ! great video!
Glad it helped
THANK YOU!!! I watched other videos, and taking the lock and unhooking stuff with large hands was nearly impossible. Thank you again
You're welcome!
MOSTLY PERFECT METHOD! Slamming window down was not necessary, I found out the hard way. Luckily, I used 2 smaller suction cups that helped me raise the glass back up. With those smaller cups, I carefully moved the glass down and rested it on each nylon attachment, THEN with a forceful push each clicked in place. ALSO: Knocking out the old nylon attachments with screwdriver and hammer was BRILLIANT! AND... , THANKS SO MUCH for covering the Auto-Up Learning process so many other UA-camr techs failed to mention.
This video is great! Thanks for the help!
One note though, I did find it easier to take the two screws out of the door handle and to take the handle out whole rather than the door release clip. Then you still have access to the door when you have to drive the van around and wait on the part.
Great video, got the job done quickly, and didn't have to do unnecessary extra work unplugging all the electronics and taking the whole panel off like other tutorials were doing. Got the job done in about an hour.
You saved me so much money, hassle and time. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together this was EXACTLY what I needed when I needed it!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video! This was by far the easiest way to replace the regulator. Anyone thinking of replacing their regulator, this is the way to do it. It took my neighbor and I just over an hour to complete it. We used the O'Reilly Dorman part and it fit perfectly. When the glass slammed in and locked, it made the sweetest sound, haha. Thank you for sharing this procedure.
I also used your suggested short cut to place the regulator assembly in position. Not removing the inner door panel sped up the process. Being mindful that I was attaching an after market regulator, I left the 1/4 inch nuts, for the spooler a little lose for adjustments and then tightened them when the entire assembly was in position. I had to drill a wider opening, in the door panel, for one of the 30 torx screws to match up to the inner regulator frame . I was very concerned about breaking the window, so I used a cut wheel, on dremel tool, to remove the tabs on the window connectors. That allowed me to disconnect the window without putting a lot of strain on it. The process of slamming the window down on the new connectors was also a big help in reattaching the window to the new assembly.
Remember, you're not a real surgeon until you kill your first patient.
I watched many and used others, this is the fastest, effective and efficient UA-cam video for replacing this part, it’s a swoosh!
This is the most difficult and convoluted way I've ever seen anybody try this. Car washing the one a video it's actually a lot easier just to take the full panel off
THANK YOU!!!
I just finished doing my neighbor's van as a favor (she's broke). Only tools needed, a chair, flat screwdriver, drill (preferably Bosch), 10mm socket with 1/4 to 3/8 adapter for drill, T20, T27 torxs, needle nose, HF suction cup $2.49. window cleaner, WD40, paper towels
I told my neighbor about the better Chrysler regulator (170.00), but she couldn't afford it so she got one from O'Rielys $57 (with lifetime warranty) made in Taiwan, it defiantly looks less robust than the removed Chrysler part.
It really wasn't that hard to install thanks to your amazing video. For me, the trick for installing the imperfect regulator is to- like you said "put the window up out of the way", then put the two bottom screws in first then attach the motor. Now it is easier to manipulate the regulator from the top side to get your last two slightly off screws in.
I did break a couple of white tabs pulling the door panel off (maybe a door panel tool might have helped, maybe not) but there was still plenty left for a solid mount, note the cover by the mirror just pulls straight off.
Thanks again!
I assume the "HF suction cup" is what was used to hold the window up. Can you tell me where you found one for $2.50?
@@Rambleon444 Awesome. Thanks! I've got one just 5 miles up the road.
@@bradstoops8862 You're welcome
Harbor Freight also sells cheap door cover prying tools. I never used one but they might help to pry the door cover off without snapping the plastic clips.
Thanks as others said very helpful, this is the 2nd time Ive replaced the regularor and following your video made it much quicker this time. My after market parrs worked pretty well just had to work a little harder on lining up the motor as you mentioned would be the case.
Thanks so much for the video. It is much more simply than the other videos out there!
Thanks for the video. Video was very useful and very detailed. It took me about one hour to complete job and that was using an aftermarket regulator.
Awesome video man!!! Followed step by step with you and came across no issues along the way! Great job and thanks for helping me get this put in so my wife can have her window back!
Great to hear!
Just fixed my 2011 VW Routan this morning. Thank you very very much for this video! I felt confident to do this myself and saved myself time and money. Extremely grateful.
Glad it helped
Thank you so much for this video! This got me over the hump for a successful regulator replacement after banging my head against the wall 👌🏼
You're welcome!
This video saved me close to $500. Thank you.
2nd time I referenced this video so much easier than doing the whole process thanks
You're a True Craftsman/Mechanic. Thanks for All the Tips! Liked and Subscribed!
Great shortcut that other UA-cam videos missed. Most disassemble latch and handle hardware to remove entire plastic panel. Was able to do the job in about 90 min using your video. I recommend securing the new regulator left side rail (latch side) first. Also, the 'Dorman' aftermarket part lined up easily and has a lifetime warranty.
Glad it was helpful!
Impressive that you didn’t fill remove the door module. Well done! I have a similar video where I remove the whole thing. Takes a little longer but you can see everything you are doing behind the panel.
You know what makes me feel like a bad bitch? Doing my own auto work. Thanks so much for posting this. Bad bitch energy for the rest of the day 😎
I broke the glass...
Just kidding! Great video! Took me longer than most but well worth the experience. Thank you so much for not having me take the entire inside of the door assembly off.
Thank you so much for this video. Your descriptions were easy to follow and I was able to replace our regulator despite never having done it before.
Great to hear!
I installed using the Dorman replacement and it wasn’t bad, everything aligned very well. Thanks for the video, it was VERY helpful! Especially the part at the end about resetting the auto window feature. Ours would only roll down auto but not up, followed your instructions on resetting it and now it works up and down!
Great to hear!
@@PowerUpAuto I will say that using the dorman did save me money but I’ve replaced it 4 times since this comment, all under warranty. I’m actually replacing it again for the 5th time with a new motor to go with it, not sure why they keep breaking the cable.
@@andrewr022488 Normally Dorman parts are fine. We use them all the time. BUT, for this application the Dorman Regs only last 10-14 months, sometimes gar less. DO NOT replace the window motor. The original Chrysler motors NEVER fail. The aftermarket motors have a high failure rate.
@@PowerUpAuto I still have the factory motor here if I need it but I figured I’d try the Forman motor and regulator together.
Thank you very much for this video. Saved me money I didn't have to spend
You are welcome!
Great video. Used it 3 months ago and put in a NAPA aftermarket. It went in fine but that aftermarket regulator failed and I am doin the job again but going OEM.
Thanks so much, this is exactly what I was looking for, made it so easy to fix
You're welcome!
Good job. I Learned how to hold the glass with the squeezer 😂 smart dude I’ll never thought about it. I’m glad u do have TO GO SERVICE like safelite glass company
Thank you. Followed your recommendations and all went smoothly. Appreciate the clear guidance.
Glad it helped!
Excellent video saved me time and money, thank you!!
Thank you for this excellent video, which unfortunately I landed on after wasting time watching a poorly made video. The speed at which you work is indeed professional, and the choice to merely narrate the work after the fact is excellent. Great tips to tighten the panel to assist with the leverage required when screwing the regulator back into place.
I completed a similar repair this afternoon, slipping the regulator behind the panel without removing it. Is there another way to get the glass into the clips without slamming it? It took a few tries and unfortunately when trying to reseat it, we broke the (brand new) front clip. But having 1 still clipped in appears to be getting the job done just fine. It's a 2010 after all....
Just used this video and I am so happy about it. All fixed! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Glad it helped!
Thank you very much, this saved me a lot of money doing it myself.
Thank you so much sir. This helped me replace this today. Which i knew nothing about doing. Again thank you so much
You are most welcome
Great video. I just fixed my with same way. Very fast and smart. My thumb up!
Great to hear!
Great video thank you. I couldn’t remember, an I have one to do tomorrow.
No bullshitting honest to the supreme one get it done zip zap with commentary. Very cool. Thank you
Thank you for your video....i did follow your steps ,for to change the window regulator in my dodge grand caravan 2010....thanks again...
Glad it helped
Thank you for this video. I just changed mine out and this was a great step by step video.
Glad it helped
I need a buddy like you! I’d paid you 100 cash and a steak! I got mine but I still have a small issue with the small latch inside. I took it all apart! Dealership wanted 450. I’m just horrible at this stuff but no youngster here! I’d never been able to do it your way I’m afraid.
Removing the latch on these is a challenge
Thank you! Really helped me do this myself and save some money
Great to hear!
Just fixed mine following this video thanks 🙏
Great to hear!
So finished the job this AM. My STRONG recommendation, like the video is to go OEM. I paid 80 for the NAPA part three months ago and it failed. Completely blew apart inside the door. The OEM cost me $137.70 here in California. It went in a lot easier as noted and is the way to go. BTW and for whatever it's worth my regulator said made in Canada??
Called pep boys for an estimate the price was 364 watched yor video a few times did it in 35 minutes thanks
Just replaced mine thanx so much great video!👍👍
You're welcome!
Tankyou 👍🏽💪🏻💪🏻
You are very good
Thank you so much 😀
Best video with short cut...grasias muy buen video
Great video. Helped a lot. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
My window motor wouldn’t come out after removing the screws, any suggestions? Window fell to the bottom of the door, I raised by hand and taped. Cables hanging loose in the door. What else could be holding motor in?
Pull harder. Once you remove the 3 screws there is nothing holding the motor to the regulator.
Hi' and Thanks for your video, my 2010 caravan- after putting in the regulator the window only moves like 3" inches each time i engage the switch, so it takes around 6 times engaging the switch to go up or down! ever hear of this, i pretested the function before i clipped in the window and it went up & down fine.
Chrysler Part or the aftermarket part? Did you also replace the window motor as well (Don't, the aftermarket motors are less reliable). IF its the Chrysler part and you used your original window motor try resetting the window switch. Hold the button down for 6-8 seconds after the glass is all the way down. That might do it.
@@PowerUpAuto Yes its the factory motor, i tried holding the switch on 10-15sec all the way up! i will try it all the way down tomarrow. Thanks
Thanks! Very helpful!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much 💓 💗 💛
Welcome 😊
Great video and explanations, can you add a link for the Chrysler pads for international buyers?
Pads?

I ment the window regulator
Excellent instruction video but I think I missed something. You took the motor off and let it dangle while you pulled out the regulator, but most regulators I see for sale have a motor attached. Is it just the Chrysler part doesn't have a motor or you don't use the motor that comes with the regulator? Thanks in advance.
Correct on all counts. Best is to reuse the top quality Mexico made window motor and just replace the window regulator. You do NOT need to buy this with the motor.
Thought I would drop in again after I installed my regulator. It went as well as your excellent video. BTW, thanks for choosing the route of filming first and narrating later. It's nice to hear clear, concise instructions without having to compete with somebody's boombox in the background. My install on my '08 Chrysler T&C went about the same as your video with these minor differences. I have a preferences button so I had one more wire connection I had to remove. My regulator was frozen and would not allow the window to slide up enough for me to disengage it from the white brackets so to remedy, I just drilled a couple of ½" holes in the plastic backing and then was able to whack the window out. Perhaps I could have cut the cables inside and I might have been able to raise the window enough that way but didn't think of that until after the regulator was on the floor. I bought the Dorman brand. Compared to my 12.5 YO Chrysler part, it looks like the metal frame is a little thinner, the bottom window travel stop is just bent over vice the large rivet in the Chrysler configuration, and the cables seemed to be not as heavy duty as the original Chrysler part. Time will tell. BTW, the original lasted in my car 12.5 years and 195K miles, which equates to a lot of Starbuck drive up windows that I had to roll my window down for. Not too difficult reassembling. You may have mentioned and I missed it that the regulator needs to sit in the plastic cover. But I got it in. The take-up reel had to be loosened from the regulator frame, adjusted with the mounting bolts and retightened. After that motor went on fine and the rest was like your video. One other thing I would like to mention is I had to transfer from the old regulator to the new the rubber bumpers that poke through the top pulley assemblies on the regulator. Perhaps a can of silicone would have made that a little easier but did not have any with me so I gently used a small screwdriver to push it through the old pulley. And then of course the bolts that held the take-up reel to the regulator had to be reused for the new regulator. Again great job on the video, saved me some money.
not sure of correct part for my 2011 t & C driver's door! Is it mopar 68030655AA ( @98$) or the one on your site which is less $$$ ? HELP i'm freezing and need to repair AsaP
The mopar part is the best option.
Great video, and I do appreciate you showing the shortcut. My question is regarding when the part I am looking for says 2 pin connector only. How do I know if my replacement part is that one? My van does have the auto up feature. Maybe that helps. It's also a 2009 25th Anniversary edition which is never called out when looking up parts. If you know the part number I need or how to find out that would be great. Thanks
For the 2008-2020 There is only ONE option. Driver side is 68030655AA Passenger side is 68030654AA. The connector is on the window motor. You are only replacing the window REGULATOR.
@@PowerUpAuto Thanks for the quick reply. I called the dealer with my VIN and they said that I wouldn't know the connector situation on the motor until I actually removed it. But followed your steps and was able to remove the motor(6 pin) and regulator just as you did. Didn't have the balls to smack the tabs like you did, but was able to get them separated with a bit of persuasion. Just waiting for parts to arrive. Purchased mopar like you recommended. Will update you once the job is complete. Thanks so far!
@@howieb4501 They should have had these regulators in stock. We are replacing 12-15 a month
@@PowerUpAuto Just want to give you a shout out for your video. I did the repair exactly as you detailed. Was a piece of cake and saved me hundreds of dollars over taking it to the dealer. Thanks so much!
Hi, will the 2018 Pacifica be similar to these steps?
Not at all. Sorry
Hoping you (or someone monitoring this) can help me. Was driving my 2014 Town & Country this evening when I heard a loud noise - almost like something hit my window. I was in a parking lot at the time only going < 5mph,. Actually stopped and jumped out to see what could have made that noise. My wife thought maybe the mirror was been bumped and suddenly snapped back into place on its own, so I tried to roll down the window to check the mirror. As soon as hit the power down button, the window just dropped (there might have been a loud sound just before that - happened too fast for me to remember clearly). Does this sound like it is the regulator? Someone else mentioned a cable snapping. Could that have been what I first heard? Does the cable come with the regulator?
The regulator is the cables and cross brackets. Yes, that is what the problem is.
what is the name and or part number of the module that wires from the drivers window switch to the module that is shown inside the same drivers door right above the door speaker. The wires from the doorswitch that control the rear view mirrors front windows and locks. I was trying to open the windows by a jumper and seemed to have blown up the unknown module i mentioned. Unless its a fuse but i checked all the m fuses with a meter all were good and didn't see any of the clear bigger fuses metal jumpers blown up.
There are a few. Call your local Chrysler dealer with the Vin Number for the correct module. Runs around $120. Also, check ALL your fuses (not the larger silver circuit breakers) First.
@@PowerUpAuto i did check all the smaller fuses. A part number i got from mopar 5026861AE called a left door module. The Dodge dealer wanted 249. I couldn't find it at rock auto for some reason. Any suggestions online where i could get it none of the local auto part stores had it.
I've a UK 54 plate Grand voyager, one voyage window is stuck 1/2 open, the driverside is fine- how do i know of ite the regulator or motor
Window is all the way down on the vehicle i'm working on. Do I need to take off speaker & all the stuff you did from behind?
You will need to remove the speaker and the window motor to push the window back up or to replace the window regulator
@@PowerUpAuto thank you after more research I see what you mean. Unfortunately cables popped off, ugh. Might need to take next section of panel off too.
i must have done something wrong my window goes up but only goes down about 6 inches
Did you use the OEM Chrysler part or an aftermarket part?
@@PowerUpAuto i used a dorman from auto zone
@@bennygoff2815 That might be the problem. You might want to try this with the OEM Chrysler part
How do u remove the glass and reinstall it
If you can not tell from this video you will need more help than youtube can provide.
Can you just change the motor alone?
Sure, but the motor is not the problem.
@@PowerUpAuto Thanks for the reply. Also I replaced the regulator and you are absolutely right that the aftermarket is a pain, but it worked well. Great video 🤘
How much do you typically charge in labor to do this?
Service call $30, Labor $130,
Because I broke glass
There is a hole in the glass where that white clip is. I've done over 500 of these and yet to break a glass.
Why won’t this video play?
