@PLUCKMANE

What important parts? Nobody else seemed to have any problems. If this video does not contain enough information for you to perform the task, I would HIGHLY SUGGEST going nowhere near any tools, let alone fix something mechanical.

I just acquired a 1998 Regal GS and the windows are running slow. I thought the motor was dying but after watching your video, I'm sure it's the cables gouging the plastic on the regulators. I need to replace a door speaker as well, so.. might as well do them at the same time. Thanx for sharing your knowledge, man.

Unless you are really strapped for cash, I would really suggest purchasing the motor along with the the regulators. The death of one component usually follows the other shortly after. Good luck, and thanks for the comment!

What kind of thinner do you used to make the rain guard/water shield sticky again? I couldn't quite make out what you said in the video. Thanks.

@philchen1

Lacquer thinner is what you want. Hope this helps!

@Gordogg1027

Absolutely!

Thanks a lot! I had BOTH front windows break down in a month.

This video gave me the confidence to do this repair myself. Saved around $300-400 per window.

@meyermitchell

No problem! Isn't it amazing how much mechanics will gouge you?
