Hi. My name is I'm Mike Green. I want to help you save time and money repairing your vehicle. I have 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks. My company, 1A Auto, sells high quality replacement parts over the internet. In this video, I will be showing you how to install these parts. By the end of this video, you do know how to install them and where to get them, that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be replacing a power window motor on this 2004 GMC Sierra. It's basically the same as any '99 to '06 Sierra and Silverado, Yukon, Escalade, all those trucks and SUVs. For this project, you'll need a medium flat bladed screwdriver, a pair of needle nose pliers, 7mm socket and driver, a Torx driver small size, number 2 actually and a 10mm socket and driver.
For this, we're actually going to due to YouTube 10-minute limit; we're going to speed up a lot of our stuff. First, it is the door panel. I'm going to go through that really quick for you. Pry out the door lock button. You remove the mirror panel and there are just two clips. You just use a screwdriver. I covered in a rag so I wouldn't scratch the paint. Then, the door handle trim plate. I just pry this out from the back, it comes off like that. Then, there's a small push pin, basically a plastic push pin. Start it with a screwdriver and then I use pliers to pull it out the rest of the way. There's a little tiny trim plate. Pull it off with your finger. Number two Torx screw, remove that quick.
I move real fast in this video. There's two other bolts, one right behind the lock right there. That's a 7 mm; remove that, and then another 7mm up under the door pull. Right there. Once those are removed, then the door panel basically lifts up and out, and then you're going to need to reach in behind, that's the courtesy light that I unplug there and then you need to unplug the power window switch and locks and everything. Actually it's also the mirror that plugs in there. This one is a little difficult. It's got a little lock tab and then that little grey lever actually pivots forward, so close up a bit and it comes out. You see me struggle here a little bit. Unplug it. There's one more on that master switch, and then unplug your speaker. Once the door panel is removed, now we remove the door handle. Pry that blue clip away and then use your fingers to rod then pulls up and out. 10mm bolt, take that off and then the handle slides forward and off. Now, you want to carefully remove your water shield. This keeps water from getting into your truck so carefully remove it and then put it aside so it doesn't get damaged.
Now, we want to remove the switch panel from the door panel so that the 7mm bolt that you remove under there. Then, you pry up and off with that panel. We're going to use this to control the window. If your window motor is broken that might not work but you'll see how we use it.
Now, I did create this video with obviously, a working window motor and door so humor me a little bit. You're really seeing how to take everything apart and put it together. If your window motor is not working, you're not going to be able to plug this in and move your window up and down. Hopefully, your window motor keeps working in the up position because that's the ideal position. If not, find the two clamps which I'll show you in a second. Wherever they are in the door, you loosen those and then slide the window up to the top and secure it, and then you can go from there.
The window regulator is held in by six bolts, one, two, three, and you can see the rail that was there. One, two, and that bolt actually holds in your window motor. What I'm doing is taping the window up right now. I used two pieces, I actually reinforce it with I think two more. I'm going through and then speed up the video here just taking out those 10mm bolts. Again, there are six of them. Again, you can just see my speedy hands here and actually, that's my father working one of his projects in the background in a nice plaid shirt. He's a little old school, installing a radio in a '74 Grandville.
Basically, what you would want to do is, now, I move the window regulator down so it's now free of the window. Now, I'm just finishing taking the window regulator out. Again, right now, I'm unplugging the window motor. Just has a little walking tab and then, removing the window regulator. You just kind of spin it. I think actually, if you take the whole thing and twist it, it'll come out easier. As you can see, it's like a two rail with cables, and then that comes out.
Here you'll see those are the three bolts that hold the power window motor to the regulator. You'll want to loosen those bolts up, and then I go to the bench here and you want to hold. There's a wheel inside, the black piece on top. You need to hold in place while you're pulling up off of the window motor. You can see I'm carefully holding it. There's that wheel inside, you want to make sure that stays in place. Once that's done, then your window motor is free. You can replace that if that's what you need to replace.
Now, I'm going to put it back together. I'm going to speed things up a little bit. There's the three bolts, put them back in again. YouTube only allows 10 minutes, so got to be quick on some of the stuff. Put the regulator back in spin it into place and you can hang up, I'll slow it down here. You actually hang the window regulator. There's a hole notch and the window regulator hang from there. You can start to bolt on that side, and it does hang on the other side. It takes a little messed up, old camera but it hangs on that side too. You start to bolt over there and then go bolt it all in.
Now, I'm working really fast here. Again, put in those six bolts in and you can see I'm using just like a screwdriver handle. If you get those in, you tighten them up basically as tight as you can. With that screwdriver handle, that's basically all you want, 15-20 ft. pounds, probably about 10 ft. pounds. Probably about 20-30 inch pounds of torque. Just tighten them up again; you can see me work it a little bit.
Now, slow it down and just going to run the obviously, plug the motor back in then I'm running the window regulator back up and just making sure that it meets the window correctly. Then, I'll tighten up those two clamps that clamp onto the window. Now, I'm taking the tape off and we'll do a test, making sure everything is going all right.
If you see anything that looks funny, run your other window up and down; make sure that it does the same. These windows do rotate forward a little bit so the back comes out away from the weather strip a little bit. It kind of look funny to me the first time I did it, but then I checked my driver side, it was the same way. After that, you restore your door handle and door panel and you're good to go.

In this video we're going to show you how to replace a rear window motor. This vehicle's a 2002 Sierra Crew Cab, same as a Silverado or Sierra. For a '99 to '02, '03 and up, the process to remove the door panel may be a little different. The tools you'll need are a regular screw driver, a 7 mm socket, 8 mm socket, and 10 mm socket with ratchet and extensions. There are two 7 mm screws that you have to remove or bolts, one right in there and then one down in the bottom corner here. As well, you need to pry out this trim panel, pry out your lock button, and pry out your window switch and disconnect it. First, put your finger under it, pull up that bezel, regular screw driver, stick it in the front there; pull off your lock button, then this switch also pry up gently there, the front of it. There's a little tab. With your screw driver, push on it. Pull the protector down and out. You can also pry out your light and reflector. Disconnect it. Your 7 mm socket ratchet extension.
We'll just speed up here as we remove those two 7 mm bolts. Once everything's unbolted, you just lift up on your panel and it comes off. Fast forward a little bit here. Slowly and carefully. I know I'm fast forwarding. Please slowly and carefully pull back your water shield so you can access the inside of the door panel. The window- I actually have my key on and my window switch is in. You can see that the window is clipped in by two 10 mm nuts here. You tighten these up and they tighten these clips up. Usually what happens on these regulators is the cables snap. In that case, you can bring your window up and down anywhere you need it. AS you can see, there's plenty of room in this door that if your window motor's broken and it won't move, you should be able to get in there and get at them. You can easily remove this speaker with three 10 mm bolts here. The last thing down here is my window motor. Just push on this tab. If you want, use a screw driver, push that tab down and out.
I use my 10 mm socket and ratchet extension and loosen up these two nuts. You can see my window's down a little bit. Once those are loose, you can just take your window and push it up into place. Just use some blue painter's tape to make sure that the window stays up. Remove these two little nuts. Now just loosen these two upper ones a few turns and then a bolt right here that holds the window motor way down in the corner. We'll just speed this up a little bit as I take that lower bolt out. The regulator can go out, up - and your regulator. To remove your window motor, there are three 8 mm bolts here. We'll just fast forward as we remove those three 8 mm bolts. Disconnect the motor from the housing. A new motor from 1A Auto. See, it's all the same. It's going to bolt right in. Get it to mesh up with the gears there a little bit. Just going to put our bolts back in. Fast forward as we tighten them up. You want to be careful not to tighten them too much. They are self-threading. You could strip the plastic threads.
Make sure you get your wires on the correct side down here. Also, make sure that the regulator's on the inside of the window. The bolts they put on are a little too big to go through those slots. What I'm doing here is the upper bolts you can leave in the regulator. You can just hang them up in the doors. They go through larger holes and then slide down into slots. The bolts that came in the regulator, the heads were just a little too big to fit through the larger part of the hole. I'm just threading them out, putting them back in place and threading it back in. Fast forward here as I start that lower nut on; then I aligned the other rail. I get it in and start that nut. Continue to move quickly here. I start the bolt that's in the lower corner of the window motor. I take my ratchet socket extension and I tighten all those five bolts up. You tighten them up firm, but not extremely tight. I've got my key on. I'm going to plug my window motor back in. Now I'm going to run my regulator up. Loosen up these nuts here. Remove my tape. Bring my window down. Make sure it goes into the clamps here.
Take a little bit of mild hand soap and just grease the window a little bit to go down into these clamps. Move the window down. Make sure it's going into the clamps where we want it to. Push it down into the clamps. You may find that you want to loosen them up a little bit more. You basically- there'll be marks on the windows. You just want to line them up in the same place. Use your ratchet extension and socket and tighten those clamps up. Again, these don't have to be extremely tight. You want them nice and firm so they'll grip the windows. I still have my key on so I can just test the window; put it down, put it back up. We'll fast forward again here. I just tighten those clamps up another couple of turns; disconnect my switch and start putting my plastic shield on. Put this all back together. Make sure this harness goes through this upper hole. Make sure you put your lock rod through this lower hole here. In the interest of keeping this somewhat manageable as far as length, I'm going to fast forward through putting the door panel back on. If you wanted to see this in regular speed, just check out our other videos for the Sierra and Silverado crew cab rear door panel install and replace. Once you get the door panel back on, it is a pretty easy process. You put it back on, slide it down, a couple of bolts, the trim panels, and you should be all set.
