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

  A: The replacement of the door Window Regulator starts by disconnecting electrical/audio connectors from door trim panel and water deflector and radio speaker assembly before removing retaining screws from the speaker assembly. The process starts by taking out the plugs situated at both the window clamp sight access hole and door window area. Start by disconnecting the electrical regulator connector then removing the front plug beneath the door bottom and marking the regulator placement for installation. First remove all nuts from the regulator lower channel studs and regulator motor studs and upper regulator channel studs before folding the regulator to extract it from the door inner opening. When installing the regulator fold it with the motor at the front while inserting it into the door. Position the motor studs through the inner door panel. Started by installing motor studs nuts followed by a 10 n.m (89 lb in) torque, proceed with regulator channel studs installation into door hole positions which require a sequence of upper forward, lower forward, upper rearward, and lower rearward. Fasten the regulator rose bud clip onto the door while tightening its regulator channel stud nuts until they reach 10 n.m (89 lb in). Complete the electrical connection to the motor and restore the window switch functionality before lifting the regulator to its top position. After that install the window while making sure it matches the door opening and apply the plugs inside the window clamp sight openings. Place the plugs in the window clamp sight access holes after which the speaker assembly can be attached to the door starting with the uppermost screw followed by a criss-cross pattern of the remaining screws torqued to 2.5 n.m (22 lb in). As the final step connect the electrical/audio connector, install both the water deflector and the door trim panel subsequently check the window fit for proper alignment and complete the installation by attaching the access plugs to the door opening.
