- Through the holes in the inner panel of the door, unscrew the screws that secure the power window to the glass holders.
- Tape the glass to the door with adhesive tape.
- Disconnect the power window motor electrical connector from the door wiring harness.
- Turn out bolts and take a window regulator through apertures in the internal panel of a door.
Warning: Be careful when removing the power window, as a compressed spring may cause the cable to come loose from the power window drum.
- If necessary, remove the bolts and remove the power window motor.
- Tilt forward and lift up to remove the glass from the door.
Installation
- Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
- If the splines in the power window drum and the power window motor do not align, move the glass bracket and rotate the power window drum to a position that aligns the slots in the power window drum and the power window motor (pic. 17.39, 17.40).

(1) Position the power window guide so that the cable slots point upwards.
(2) Position the power window guide so that the glass bracket is at the bottom. Move the glass bracket to the fully open position.
- Install the springs on the cables. Then install the lowering cable first, then the lifting cable into the window regulator rail (pic. 17.42).
Pic. 17.42. Installing the raise and lower cables in the window rail
- The lifting cable must be positioned above the lowering cable.
- Compress the springs and tie them with thin wire (pic. 17.43).

Note. The thin wire should be placed in the grooves for the cables.
- Insert the end of the drop cable into the hole located at the base of the drum, then wrap the cable securely around the recess in the drum so that there is no gap between the cable and the drum (pic. 17.44).
Pic. 17.44. Winding the lowering rope onto the drum
- Attach the lifting cable to the drum as follows:
(1) Insert the tip of the lifting cable into the hole located at the top of the drum (pic. 17.45).

(2) Raise the front of the drum until it is in a vertical position, then insert the lifting cable into the groove of the drum (pic. 17.46).

(3) Turn the drum to its original position, while holding the cables so that they do not slip off the drum (fig 17.47).

- After installing the power window actuator on the power window, cut and remove the wire that connected the springs.
- Install the power window in the door and secure with bolts.
- Temporarily attach the glass to the power window.
- After the window is fully raised, finally tighten the bolts securing the glass to the power window bracket.
Note: When the door glass is fully raised, the limit switch is automatically set to the correct position.
