Replacing Power Window Regulator/Motor on 97-05 Buick Century

Here is how to replace a window regulator and motor in a 97-05 Buick Century. This procedure is similar in most vehicles. Sometimes the manufacturer uses rivets instead of bolts, but in that case you can just drill out the rivets and use nuts and bolts if there is room, or just replace the rivets if you have a rivet gun. This part only cost $50 (free shipping) from 1aauto.com for this application, and only took approximately 35 minutes to install. If you have any questions, just use the comments section or message me!

@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!

Lacquer thinner is what you want. Hope this helps!

[philchen1]

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.
