Thank you for this. Replaced my front passenger window regulator yesterday with what I learned from this video.

Watched your video last night, and swapped out the regulator today. Thank you for saving me time and grief!

simple, very well explained, and he did it with one hand....MY MAN...!!

Excellent video with the process well defined and direct. I was on my way to an old peoples date and noticed the rear window partially down. I had 30 minutes to find a solution as rain was also in the forecast. I had no idea how to get this apart. I found your video and I was able to quickly remove the door panel, raise the window closed, and secure with a pair of Harbor Freight vise grips. The motor operated with a grinding sound, but would not move the window. Since I was able to easily move the window, the regulator motor drive is inoperative. Final diagnosis later. Thank You.

Thank you so much, you crafty bastard! I just bought a 2005 Deville in perfect condition with the exception of that damned regulator. Because of you I was able to fix it.

Thank you for this! Window works like it left the factory. Now i just gotta put back together. Oh yeah you have hella skillz to be able to do this one hand while filming this at the same time.

🙏 thanks for showing us how those clips work.

[lewismohr]

great job. great vid. all with one hand. impressive. Thank you.

[jcsocal]

The white clips are called bird beaks, I worked at GM we assembled those door pads 👍

[timcrowl]

Thanks, that's how I learned how the white plastic clip works. Nice video talk someone into holding the camera for you, good detail.

Thank you for the video. It kept me from breaking all the tabs - Those tabs are a great design. First time ever I haven't broken some tabs in a DIY situation. I added a comment earlier but it appears that YouTube removed it. Because I linked to a thread in another site on how to repair your regulator if the motor still works, and the regulator piece slides, and just the plastic bit is broken that holds the metal piece on the cable? I repaired it and can share pictures if needed. Saved almost $200 dollars by repairing the unit and the window is working flawlessly and that area will never break again (fingers crossed).

i think there’s a hole higher up on the left side that allows access to the rear 10mm window clip, but the window has to be up to access it.

[blassmich]

Right rear window goes up and down from driver controls but not at the door has power and ground at the plug switch is good even tried new switch still doesn't work at the door. Is it a shot to ground?

[cuocsongkentucky]

Hi thank you for your video, how much is cost for the parts

[clinthowe]

i removed the T25s from those square white clips and one of the clips is still being held in place by something! ???

[steveknight]

I took the motor out of my back door and moved it to the front and the front window will only go down if I use the back door switch. Any ideas? It is on a 2008 DTS. Thanks

[toxcastel]

Hi! this might be a silly question but I was wondering if the front door modules are the same for both doors (left and right)? It's just that I need the module for the right front door (passenger) and I can't see on ebay/amazon any specification of which side goes the product. So any comment about it will be helpful.. Thanks!

[howtosoccer]

Hey Greg! I’m actually doing kind of the same process in my 2008 dts, I was wondering: is the motor/regulator system the same in both the deville and dts? Could I purchase a regulator and motor with the metal thing for a 2000-2005 deville and be able to put it into my dts?

[ShanntahnPininchula]

Thank goodness! Push in the middle of the white clip! How DID you learn that exactly?

[kiway]

So my window is stuck down, can I just move the window up and leave it there?
