Q: How to replace the rear door window regulator on Buick LeSabre?
A: The replacement process of the rear door Window Regulator starts with removing the door trim panel and door module together with the water deflector. Place tape across the window before performing four revolutions of adjustment to the window clamp fasteners and partially lowering the Window Regulator. To change the Window Regulator pull the power Window Motor electrical connector besides removing fasteners (1,2,3) between the regulator and inner door panel. Then glide the regulator out of the door by rotating its motor end toward the door front and its top to the lower rear corner before pulling the unit through the front access hole at the door panel. Routine installation requires the Window Regulator to enter the door through the front access slot after tightening fasteners in this sequence: first fastener at 9 n.m (80 LB.IN) then the second fastener at 9 n.m (80 LB.IN) and finally the third fastener at 9 n.m (80 LB.IN). After removing tape from the window you can insert it into the Window Regulator clamps before plugging the power Window Motor electrical connector. Start the engine and elevate the window to full closure before securing both clamp fasteners at 11 n.m (95 lb in). Check the window function and its sealing quality before reinstalling the water deflector and door module followed by the door trim panel.
Q: How to replace the rear side door window regulator on Buick Enclave?
A: One should start the process of Window Regulator replacement by dismantling the door trim panel then the water deflector. The next step is to extract the energy absorber retainers combined with the energy absorber from the door before removing the coverings that shield the holes for the regulator bolts. Remove window to regulator bolts to disconnect the window from its regulator before elevating it to the highest point as support. First disconnect the electrical connector from the regulator motor and then loosen the upper bolt which retains the regulator to the inner door. First disconnect the lower regulator bolt then release the motor from the door through the nut connection. Raise the regulator/motor eventfully to unlock the upper bolt from the door and move the regulator upper segment in a forward direction. The first step involves removing the lower part of the regulator through the door opening before removing the upper bolt from the regulator and Window Regulator motor from the same component. Install the Window Regulator motor to the regulator by fastening it partially to the upper bolt of the regulator. To install the regulator insert it through the door opening with a semi-horizontal seating position before fully positioning it ahead in the door cavity before rotating to vertical. Fasten the regulator onto the door sheet metal by using the already existing upper bolt. Insert the nut to retain the motor on the door and tighten it to 9 n.m (80 lb in) before securing the regulator to the door using upper and lower bolts (3, 4) tightened to 10 n.m (88 lb in). Return the electrical connector to the regulator motor followed by uninstalling the window support. Drop the window onto the side guide of the regulator. First stabilize the regulator window carrier bolts with loose tightening. After putting the window in the full up position within the run channels maintain its position. Following this install the door energy absorber along with its retainers. End the installation by putting on protective covers that should cover the regulator bolt holes together with the water deflector and the door trim panel.
Q: How to Service and Repair a Window Regulator on a Buick Regal?
A: The first step to change a front door Window Regulator consists of removing the front door water deflector and then taking out the front door window. After the arm rest bracket removal you must note the position of the Window Regulator screws which rest in specific slots on the inner door panel and remain in place. The first step is to unfasten the front door Window Regulator mounting screws followed by disconnecting the left lower screw from the front door Window Regulator rail. The front door Window Regulator motor needs lowering into the door opening to disconnect its electrical connector. Extract the front door Window Regulator unit from its mounting position in the door. First insert the new front door Window Regulator into the door then connect its electrical connector to the motor. Place the motor within the key slots found on the inside of the door panel before letting the Window Regulator rail assembly slot into its matching key slots. Fasten the left lower mounting screw and secure it at 10 n.m (89 lb in). Turn and tighten the remaining screws that anchor the Window Regulator beginning from the lower rear section moving to upper rear then lower front and finishing with upper front but only torque them to a secure 10 n.m (89 lb in). Proceed with putting back the front door window followed by the arm rest bracket and finishing with the front door water deflector.
