I like that you didn't take out the glass. Mine is having an issue where sometimes it'll work and roll down other times (usually at a bad time) it won't. I know its not the switch or the wiring because even when it doesn't roll down I can still here the auto down relay thingy clicking so its getting power, It has its good days and bad days so eventually I will need to replace it. Some say you need to remove the whole assembly including the bar that the glass slides up and down. I do not wanna drill out the rivets holding the glass because the way I see it one slip of the drill and I might need a new window so i'd like to avoid that if possible.
You may want to check the wire harness between the door and body of the car for a broken wire of frayed wire that might be causing the intermitted issue you are experiencing. This video will show you what to look for. ua-cam.com/video/EcOWrgmMUFw/v-deo.html
Thanks for this video. There are several videos here showing this job, but with a working motor, which allow the window to positioned to remove the rivets. Mine is stuck in the up position as yours was.
These instructions are much better than some other videos. Do you know what rivets would be best? Quarter inch, but what length shank? Also, your Amazon link is to a product that is "Currently Unavailable". I don't know if you can edit that now or not... or if it even matters.
Do they just make the wearable teflon guide slide for these window regulators? Mine is worn out and the window goes up and down fine but wont seat properly at the top rear of the window so there is an aig gap unless i get the window mostly to the top and then push the glass to the back at the top and then crank it up.
@@HomeOwnerRepair I like the fact that you used a rivet gun instead of nuts and bolts. I bought the rivet gun you recommended. It's a quality tool and easy to use.
I'm listening to the cicadas in the background and I'm going the same job tomorrow on both sides no less, good job gentlemen.

Good video Simple to follow
Glad it helped
Good video! FYI - I believe when you installed the new regulator the coiled main spring was missing on the new part.
Thanks for watching!

Great video! How long were the rivets?
Not sure on the exact length. They were not that long.

you could have used hex bolts and nyloc nuts instead of rivetting again.

That's a vapor barrier, keeps the back of the panel dry.
Yes, You are correct.
The job would be simpler by buying the regulator with the motor atteched, that way you don't have to deal with the bracket
When ever possible yeah we typically will buy a brand new window regulator assembly with a new motor too.
American crap?
China/Mexico
You'd never need to do this on a Japanese vehicle!
Thanks for watching.
