Great video, thank you. Did you just pull the glass up when you got it situated in the regulator? Or attach the electrical to roll it up

[@YOUCANIC]

Thank you for your kind feedback! To answer your question, after the glass was situated in the regulator, we simply rolled it up using the attached electrical mechanics. Our main goal here is to assist you with all your car repair needs, big or small.

once everything was installed how did you roll the window up to fasten the window to the regulator.?did you reconnect the window switch?
