This video is going to be part one of a two part series, replacing a window regulator in this 2000 Lincoln Town car, same as any '98 to '02. We offer the window regulator with motor and without motor, this video covers replacing your window regulator without the motor. The tools you'll need are Philip's and flat blade screwdrivers, T30 Torx driver, a hammer with a punch and a chisel, a drill with a 5/16 drill bit, 10mm socket with ratchet and extension and there's a little star there because your vehicle may vary, it may be 10 or 11mm and needle nose pliers. Door panel removal, it's fairly simple. On this vehicle, this door panel has been taken apart a bunch of times so some of the fasteners may be different for you as well as the ... for example, it has a screw here, which I believe most cars probably don't and the reason it has a screw here I believe is because so many of the pins in behind that hold it are broken. Where you want to start is remove your door lock knob just by unscrewing it and then in under here should be two, on this vehicle they're Philip's screws, and you kind of just put your screwdriver up under there. Now, there's another Philip's screw up in here. Then this pulls out. Then right in here you'll see there's another Philip's screw that goes into the door panel. As you can tell I've been fast forwarding when I just get to the monotonous stuff, so you remove that screw and then there's another screw next to the rear side of the pole. Then at the bottom, there's two more Philip's screws, there's a little indent in carpet, just put your screwdriver in there, twist a little bit and you'll get to the screw.

This car has a little Torx screw here, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be there or not. I'll remove it, this may not be on all cars. Then there is another screw here but this is broken on my car so I know there's no screw in there and then what there is a series of clips so you want to work your hand underneath here and there's one clip right here and you want to get your hand as close to those... you can slide your hand underneath and you slide it over and you'll feel it getting tighter and tighter. Then you give a good pull and get that clip out. Then come up here on the top and give that a good pull on that clip there and then on these vehicles there's more clips, there's clips in the middle and more on the edge but like I said this vehicle has been apart a few times. Before you pull the door panel off, you want to pull your window switch up in the front and then pull it out and then there's a series of harnesses that just have a little tabs, you press the tabs, pull the harness down. Gray one tab, pull it down, a tab here on the black one, and then a tab here for the brown one. Now, pull the panel away and there's a few more harness connections back here. A couple of small harnesses with a black and white connector, press a little button here, pull that apart. There's a blue connector here that has a tab on it that you pull the wires of the blue connector, pull the tab out. It's hard to see.

There's a gray connector, again a big tab, pull it apart. Oops, it looks like the screw isn't quite all the way out. Your door panel is off. Okay, so you can see here I'm holding back the water shield, you may have noticed on the other clip that on this car somebody has cut the water shield, there should be a shield covering that whole large open area. You want to pull your water shield back carefully because you do want to save it because it does protect your door panel from getting aged too quickly by water and dirt. To remove your power window motor, if your lead is right here, press on this tab, pull the lead up and out and then there's three T30 Torx screws right here and you remove the bottom two and you loosen the top one. Once you loosen that top one, reach in behind and you slide the whole motor and cable assembly out. Pull it all the way to here and I'll actually finish removing this. Then the motor comes off. Now you can slide your window down and you can access this rivet here and this one through here. Your rivets that hold your regulator to the window is right there and then I can see one right through there. Now, I'm going to take a drill with a 5/16 bit and going to slowly drill into these rivets and I don't want to go to fast because I don't want them to spin. That one comes off. They are aluminum so they do come off fairly easy. Now that one's off.

Now I can take my window, the window now separates from the regulator. You'll want to pull this weather strip right up and off and you're going to want to remove the window and what you need to do that is slide the front down a ways and then push it out towards the outside of the car and then you just pull the window diagonally out. Go back to the front and your rivets will probably get stuck on the little wiring harnesses in here a little bit. Move those to the back and the window comes out. Now the regulator is held at the bottom by two rivets here, a nice punch, pointed end and a good size hammer, put it right in the middle of the rivet and you can see I knocked the middle of rivet right through. Again with the drill, nice and easy. You can see my rivet started to spin a little bit so get a Cole chisel and there not much left to these rivets so ... knock one off and knock the other one off. Now the regulator is still held in here by two 11mm nuts so I've got a socket, ratchet and a extension. I'm just going to fast forward this and actually on this vehicle looks like it was taken apart before, one nut was 11mm and one was 10mm so yours could either have 10 or 11mm nuts. Now bring the regulator down and it comes right out. Okay, so we're going to end right here, if you want to see the re-installation just search for the same video just with part two in title rather than part one.
