Take your time with power windows

I've been doing bodywork for over 40 years I've installed hundreds and hundreds of power windows Just take your time You're not on the clock, just do it It could be a little problem with the internal spring and pin of the handle, just take your time and remember you are dealing with plastic, put some lube on it, it will help. Insert the glass into the channel until it stops, then tighten the glass screws, but do not over tighten, then tighten the two hanger screws on the regulator, and finallyโ€ฆ

Pros

Great price for a replacement controller.

If you are looking to replace the regulator at a much cheaper price than original parts or a service center I would recommend this unit. It's not the same material as the original block, but it seems pretty solid. One thing to note, my particular block didn't have two grommets inserted so I had to work them out with my hands and needle nose pliers. , using the old part as a reference. For this reason, I recommend storing your broken regulator until you have installed a replacement. I had someโ€ฆ

Great price and a way to fix a slow opening window.

FYI... This does NOT include the motor itself... just the window rotating mechanism. You must reuse the old power window and airbag module. Overall it took me about an hour to unplug it, but I had all the tools needed to remove the door panel and motor (torx). I'm amazed at how easily the glass goes up and down now with the old motor. I bought this from an Amazon store to save some money and I'm glad I did. This is currently my fastest opening window. The best prices for car parts at Revain. Iโ€ฆ

Build quality should be stronger

Two problems with this unit - it didn't come fully assembled and the material wasn't strong. The two slides were not attached to the main block and had to be clipped together - luckily I had the old one to look at. The worst thing was that the material was weak. The screws (none of which came with the unit) didn't seem to go in smoothly and were most likely cross-threaded. The clip above where the doorknob clips broke when I pulled it apart to secure the handle pin. in place. I was careful, but

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel

  • So-so

The part went in easily and was an exact replacement as far as I can tell

Let's start by knowing a little bit about mechanics. I also once yanked open a door to understand why my window in my 2007 Ford Expedition chose to stay down. As they say, this article is perfect for this purpose. Ford has an issue with regulators not working properly, and a small amount of water gets into the cables on the transmission, causing them to rust and break. I had the last problem. I purchased this item from Amazon and installed it over the next weekend. The switch was easy andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not the best

Fits Exactly But Will Not Come With New Motor

You will need to remove all the screws from the plastic housing that is already in your door and screw them all to it. I must have misread the product description as I thought it came with a new Bosch motor. I had to do this operation about 5 times so that after installation the crack at the window stops. Now it works great. Time will tell about the quality. Deinitialization Procedure 1. Start with the ignition key in the RUN position and open a front door. 2. NOTICE. Steps 2 and 3 must beโ€ฆ
