just a few notes: - i've found a pointed knife blade works better to pull out the decorative screw covers and the handle screw cover. BTW the handle cover gets detached from the knob side. the door latch cover just pulls straight out to free it. - at :14 the 2 screws don't come out before you lift the map holder straight up to release it from the screws in the door, you tilt the holder up and out 90 degrees towards you to release it from the door panel, then you can pull it straight out, then you remove the screws on the both ends. - the door panel removal can use some coaxing with a flathead driver to try to pull the plastic plugs out of the door with it so as to not destroy the fiberboard panel keyhole slots. - when removing the spring clips, specially the one on the right that you can't see, remember, when pulling the clip end up you only want to pull up on the very center of the clip, not the full width of the clip (specially if you have large fingers), i wasted an unbelievable amount of time learning that). - i replaced a power window lift with manual lift and they are two different units, if you are wondering, they are two completely different units, the motor is not something added on to a manual lift. to get the power lift out i had to unbolt the motor from the lift so it would fit through the opening. - don't forget to reinstall your washers. add some oil and grease to joints and gears while you've got it all apart, and inspect for sources of water leaks while you are in there to keep her rolling for another decade. - i didn't have to replace my glass so removing glass from the rail can be done with a hammer and screwdrivers, which is what i did at the junkyard where i found my replacement regulators. -thanx for the video, Matthew.
Adam Montoya I had a spare window with the rail already attached from another 240. If you’re inserting a new window into the rail I would probably friction fit first to see how secure it is. If not I would use an adhesive. Hope this helps.
@@TransitorHollow1 My window keeps on dropping from the rail (at least I think so, I am just about to open the door). I that's the problem, I will use som adhesive.
Kristian Kalin if the window is slipping or dropping into the door it’s an issue with the window regulator device. This is designed like a scissor jack. Make sure the weld in the center isn’t breaking or disconnected. If the window feels loose or wobbles. An adhesive might make it more secure. But a window that drops is from a failing regulator.
@@TransitorHollow1 I managed to fix it an put all pieces back to where they belong. Thanks for the video. I live in the north of Sweden where we have long, cold winters. The window had probably frozen to the rubber strip last winter as nothing was damaged except that the window was not attached to the scissor jack. I put it back and had to use so much force that I hope I don´t need the adhesive that I thought I had in my other car... Anyway, now that I know howto fix it it's easier. I put silicone oil on all the rubber strips, even down in the door. The window moves much easier now. Thanks once more for this video. Here is an link to a video of me drifting on the ice roads in the archipelago outside the town of Luleå. I'm a really crappy drifter, but the filming is good and the music excellent! :) ua-cam.com/video/xoSLI0gPVjY/v-deo.html&

Rad. This sorted me out. Good video, thanks.
Megan Herring Thanks! Happy to help.

Did you friction fit the lift rail to the window or did you use an adhesive?
