Review on 🚗 Dorman 741-348 Front Driver Side Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly: OE FIX for Nissan / Suzuki Models by Mike Goodwin

I've been waiting for warm weather to do this driver's side regulator replacement project as it involves removing the trim, trim, and electrical connections all off They are plastic/nylon and can click in the cold. Also on my project, a '05 XTerra, there is a thin sheet of foam insulation taped with butyl tape (windshield sealant) that needs to be removed - warm weather (or a heated garage) and careful separation will prevent that this insulation cracks. This and removing the power window connector are the "more difficult" aspects of this job and require some basic and not-so-simple tools (a 10mm socket with an extension, trim clip puller, not a flathead screwdriver) and patience, which not everyone has . Replacing the power windows themselves, like the power windows themselves, is the easier part. The trick, as per the instructions, is to temporarily override the power window switch to lower the window to the point where the window bracket screws are visible through the bottom holes in the sheet metal so they can be removed ( hold a thin magnet). remove by hand to avoid these screws). fail). The replacement regulator is already set up so that the bracket can be seen through these holes when the other screw holes are in place. The replacement regulator differs from the original in one obvious point: instead of a fixed electrical connection to the motor, it has a wire to the receiver connector. This makes the connection a bit easier, but requires the knot to be tied behind the sheet metal, but not dangling and interfering with window movement. I would prefer a fixed power connection, but I can get by with an extended cable. Although there is some grease on the moving cable and nylon rollers, I added more grease before installing.
