Thank you for this video. This video is spot on - there couldn't be an easier or more descriptive way to do this. I ordered the part from Amazon, and had my dead motor removed and replaced from start to finish in about an hour. This video took a lot of the anxiety out of doing a repair like this for a beginner. Thanks again for this informative video.
+crowlector This is so awesome! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a great comment, I love making these videos and it's so good to hear when they help people do it themselves! 💛
What do you call the wires that attached to the motor. The wires on my window are broken. Do I have order the whole master switch or there is the way I can only get wires? Please help....
I also have a dead motor....with the window "up"..... how did you get to the lower frame/right side bolt that he removed ( in the vid) via the small "hole" in the door...as he lowered the window to get that access? I don't see such access if the window is locked in the "up" position.....anyone ?
This is a great, informative video, The best of what I've seen for my Scion Xa. Being a beginner I had some anxiety doing this job correctly and you made it a lot easier. Thank you.
Thanks so much!! :)
Thank you so much for making this video it helped me so much with my 2005 scion xa
Great video! The only recommendation I have is to use a 10mm socket ratchet instead of an open end wrench
Thank you for sharing!! I need to replace the window motor on the front driver side and rear passenger side on my ‘04 Scion XB which has 316,000 miles.
Got tired of only being able to roll up my window a centimeter at a time. Bought a motor off eBay for $23 (part # 47-10009 or 85720-33120). 30 min job for a novice like me - worked perfectly! Thank you for your video!!
Great work so glad to hear this!! Thank you so much :)
I pulled up the part you listed and it says it's not compatible with a Scion XA 2006. I'm glad it worked for you but do we share the same model?
Thank you. Just got my new motor (with regulator attached). Separately - Dorman part cost $195 and some change for just the motor. Together - 96.80 before tax. go figure. I work with mechanics - they stay busy here and outside of work because people are always hitting them up. However, when I say I am going to replace myself, they laugh at me - BUT, they don't offer to do it for me (outside of work - we can't do stuff here for our own except maybe a little air in a tire - and we all obey the rules - honestly - we have great jobs and don't want to mess up!). I am an old lady and I will do it myself as I have done many things on my own. I would have attempted this in my late teens/20s before YT / instructional videos were so widely available. Thank you for making this video. I will attempt - I mean I will DO this over the weekend.
Thank you, this guide is so clear.
Incredibly well done video that shows exactly how to do this job. Thank you.
Thanks so much!
Ridiculously Helpful, thank you!
great video and seems so simple. He doesnt miss a step
Thanks for the video! I got the motor changed on my 06’ super easily because of this step by step guide!
Perfect! Thank you
Great attention to detail! Subscribed.
Good video, but ... you don't need to remove the inside door handle assembly to do this, and you don't need to completely remove the plastic covering. Just detach the lower part of the plastic covering and lift it out of the way of the regulator bolts. The reason for avoiding the inside door handle removal is, it's got a very tricky clip that's really easy to break.
If you really want to remove that door handle, remember that the clip on the left is the one to be removed first. You cannot go left to right and then lift up with the trim remover, this will break it. Underneath the left clip are two separate bits of plastic. The right bit has the underhook that keeps it latched. So if you push with the trim remover left to right, then lift out, you are actually pushing the hook further in. You have to insert your trim remover under the clip from right to left, and exert right to left pressure as you lift. Very tricky, very easy to break. Once you've removed the right clip, slide right to left and lift the door handle out. But really, just avoid this if you possibly can. Removal of the door handle is not necessary to replace the window motor.
Overall though the video was accurate and clear. I clicked through your link to get the motor. If you get the chance, post links to rear window motors too.
Saved me so much time. Your level of detail is professional. Many thanks.
Wow thanks so much!!!
Great video! Ordered part from your link. Will also replace it before I have the issue the other person with the completely dead motor had!
Thanks, I just finished my driver's window repair. You probably saved me $300.
Outstanding vide with no wasted time. Followed exactly for a perfect job, thanks!
Thank you very much :)!
Made my day, thank you!
very good info! thanks
Awesome video. I need to replace a speaker and have to remove the door panel. This video will really help.
Nice video thank you
Perfect video. I replaced my passenger side rather than drivers side. So excited to no longer pull up my window! :)
Thank you so much for this video!!! You earned my subscription!😃
thank you brother !!!!
thank for this video
THANKS
Just wanted to thank you for the video. It helped me fix my 2006 Scion xA. Don't have to buy a new car now. Found the motor only at AutoZone for about $50 used a 1/8 Allen wrench for the motor mounts. #righttorepair
Thanks for this video gotah replace my 05 xb front window motor.
Thank you for the video! However what size torq
My $.02. Window was stuck up so I just cut into door panel enough to get at the 3 20 hex bolts from the inside. This released the motor and then I replaced the other. It was probably quicker, the door is cut up but nobody was going to be getting much resale out of these anyways.
About to tackle this on my 2005 Scion xa. Someone mentioned putting a little grease on the moving parts of the regulator when replacing the motor. Any thoughts? Thank you for your time.
A little grease does sound smart :) thanks for watching and good luck, let me know how it goes!

Just finished replacing motor. Thanks a lot. Whole process took less then an hour. Wish I could like your video 10x. Thanks again. And good luck in life, man.
That’s great news! Thank you so very much! :)
What if the window is stuck down and won’t move and you can’t get the the bolts?
Will the motor used in the video work for the passenger side door, as well?
Coming in late on this discussion.....seems when we do a parts number check, whether factory part or clone....there are separate left and right side parts numbers...as you would expect as the orientation is different. That said.... I THINK left-front I( drivers) is same as right-rear......and right-front is same as left-rear. Think of it as diagonals work the same part.
This video is great however my window stopped completely in the down position, yikes.
Did you fix it?
Does the auto down still work? One of the reviews on that link said theirs didn't
Hello! Yes the auto down still works. that’s a problem with the switch not the motor. :)
Thanks for watching!

You are going to reach in the large opening with the 10mm wrench. Its a tight fit but not too bad. Mine was dead I had to do that.
@@wav177
So, if the motor is dead you have to actually reach in there with the wrench? Or is there a way to get the window down?
@@wav177 ...so...are you saying your motor was dead with the window UP ? That's what I'm facing. If so....are you saying I need a special 10mm wrench?...like maybe an angled/swivel head or gear-wrench style? Thanks.
what if the motor is bad and the window wont move? how do you align the window to get tge hex bolt?
Very good question, fortunately for us the motor in the video was failing intermittently, just enough to allow us to get the window down in position. Is your motor completely dead? I would try turning the car on and press the switch to lower the window and at the same time push down on the window to see if you can get it to move down. Let me know if you have any luck with this and I will continue to search for an alternative solution for you!
luke
My problem, too!
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS ...I see this note of yours is 5 years old. Great vid. But I have the same problem....motor is totally dead with window "up". Do you ( or anyone else reading this) have any follow-up suggestions ?????
Looks like the auto up and down feature doesn’t work. You have to keep the switch up or down the whole time the window travels
The electrical port to the door handle is a huge pain in the ass. Mine (‘06) is almost impossible to deal with
Lert me "pay it forward". Great video..... but my problem was that the window was UP and the motor was DEAD. How the heck do you get the window lowered so that the little hole lines up with the bottom bracket of the window ( 0:53 - 0:57) ? If you can't do that, you're screwed....I see no way to replace the motor without drilling out some sheet metal in the inner door. I got to the point of the vid where I had arm access to the motor. I got a small metal hammer with my arm through the big hole in the door over the speaker.....felt around to find the motor....and gave the motor a few good solid raps with the hammer. Ta Da !.....got the "dead" motor to come alive at least long enough to get the window lowered so the bottom bolt can be acessed per timeline 0:53 - 0:57...then the rest was easy but tedious. Hope this hint helps others who face the same dead motor issue. Another point......the video presenter wasn't clear, but to remove the electric "plug" from the motor...there is a small tab in the plug on the right side that if you press with a small flat blade srwewdriver.....it releases. Yanking alone won't do it.
That’s such a great tip! Thanks for posting this comment I know people will need to hear this!
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS ..I was totally lost if that window wouldn't come down !.....thank God I got it running so I can lower the window to match your process. I hope everyone can get their motor to work the same way....cheers.
It’s such a great idea, I would do that with starter motors that went out, never thought about window motors. so cool
@@MINUTEDIYVIDEOS ..it was a point of desperation.....couldn't figure out how else to get the "Assembly" out and released from the window itself...had to get down to that little "hole" you show for access.....the only way was to at least TRY to get that stupid old motor to work......thanks again. Your vid showed me the rest....clearly the best on YT for this work. Worked really well. Here's another tip I found from Scotty the mechanic here on YT.....shoot some spray silicone down the window channels when the window is down....especially on old cars. Makes the window move more easily and lessens the wear-and-tear on the motor. Cheers.
great informative vid. thanks to whoever put the link from some long winded fattass 20 minute vid that teaches nothing
Thanks for the video.....but I just tried doing this. I was outside for a good 2 and half hours. The new motor is working and I attached one side of the window on the track but couldn't get the other side on to save my life. Then the part that I had attached to the window just snapped off. So.....long story short.....I just re-taped my window closed. I think this was completely complicated. Would never try this agaiin.......EVER!!!!!!
That’s much more work than most cars. Scion xa trying to be complicating with their crap window motor
Never ever use duct tape…. Use painters blue tape…
Your video is not helpful if the window won't move...because you actually got the motor to move the window just enough to align the 10 mm bolt up to the round cut out area. How is someone to reach and loosen the bolt if they have no power to window? I thought this video was to show folks how to fix if window DOESN'T WORK...obviously yours works a little...so, that doesn't help the rest of us.
