• Q: How to Replace a Front Door Window Regulator (Power) on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The replacement process starts by stripping off the door panel trims, water deflectors, and radio speakers from their sockets while taking out the power connector and the safety screws securing the speakers. Take out the plugs which fit into the window clamp sight access holes along with the door window and then unplug the regulator motor's electrical connector. Begin by taking off the front plug underneath the door bottom while marking the regulator position for reinstallation and unscrewing the regulator lower channel studs with front motor studs and upper regulator channel studs. Pull the regulator into the hole opening of the door shell. Adjust the regulator jack screws according to the old regulator if needed before inserting the new regulator into the door with the motor positioned forward. Install the motor studs through the door inner panel before attaching the corresponding nuts and tightening them to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The door holes of the regulator channel studs should receive new nuts following this pattern: first tighten the upper forward stud to 10 n.m (89 lb in), then do the same for the lower forward stud, follow by upper rearward, then lower rearward before final tightening at 10 n.m (89 lb in). Begin by hooking the regulator rose bud clip on the door while connecting the electrical connector to the motor followed by lifting the regulator fully upward after reconnecting the window switch. Position the window correctly into the opening of the door while replacing the plugs which fill the sight access holes of the window clamp. The speaker assembly screw at the top needs reinstalling before installing the remaining screws following a criss-cross pattern with a tight measurement of 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). After finishing the installation process you should check the window fit while making necessary adjustments before placing the access plugs into the bottom of the door.
