• Q: How to replace the front door window regulator on 2005 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: The front door Window Regulator replacement process requires door trim panel and water deflector and radio speaker assembly removal after disconnecting electrical and audio connectors with subsequent speaker retaining screw removal. First, pull out the plugs which are protecting the holes of the window clamp sight and the door window. Before assembly, disconnect the electrical connector from the motor then remove the front plug from under the door bottom before noting the regulator position. Pull off the nuts from the regulator lower channel studs regulator motor studs together with upper regulator channel studs before folding the regulator to pass it through the door inner opening. Install the new regulator by adjusting its jack screws to imitate the old regulator when possible and then fold it before pushing it into the door from the motor forward position. Pass the motor studs through the door inner panel before securing the nuts onto the studs then tighten their thread to reach 10 n.m (89 lb in). Use the door holes to feed the regulator channel studs so install the nuts first in upper forward position then lower forward and finally upper rearward and lower rearward securing each to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Set the window switch to full up while attaching the regulator rose bud clip to the door then connecting the electrical connector to the motor and raising the regulator until it reaches its maximum height. Place the window correctly on the door opening before installing access plugs at the window clamp sight holes. Insert the speaker assembly by starting with the top screw followed by a criss-cross pattern of screw installation at 3 n.m (27 lb in). The electrical/audio connector installation ends the procedure alongside the water deflector and door trim panel before you check the window fit while making necessary adjustments before placing access plugs in the door's bottom.
