• Q: How to replace the power door window regulator on 2001 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The procedure to replace the power door Window Regulator starts by removing the door trim panel together with the water deflector and radio speaker assembly while disconnecting the electrical/audio connector before removing the speaker retaining screws. Afterward remove plugs from both window clamp sight access holes and door window openings before disconnecting the regulator motor electrical connector. Start by taking away the front plug from below the door bottom followed by marking the regulator position for reinstallation then removing the nuts securing the regulator lower channel stud and motor stud and upper regulator channel stud. The regulator needs to be folded before being pulled through the door inner opening. Adjust the jack screws on the new regulator according to the original setup if possible before installing the new unit into the doorway with its motor situated in the forward direction. Thread both motor studs into the door inner panel holes before securing nuts which must be tightened to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Thread the regulator channel studs through the door holes before locking down the nuts beginning with upper forward then lower forward then upper rearward before ending with lower rearward. Use the regulator rose bud clip to secure the door while tightening its channel stud nuts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The electrical connection gets done to the motor and the window switch gets reinstalled while the regulator gets taken to full up before installing the window frame and adjusting door opening fit. Place the plugs into the window clamp sight access holes while installing the uppermost speaker assembly screw and then use criss-cross screw installation to tighten them to 3 n.m (27 lb in). After connecting the electrical/audio connector users should reinstall the water deflector and door trim panel, perform window fit examination and required adjustments afterwards they should place the access plugs at the door's bottom.
