That's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video.

In this video, we'll be showing you window regulator replacement on this Grand Am. It is a two-door. The four-door is generally the same, and this process is the same for a lot of different GM products. Similar little bit of difference in taking the door panels off and things like that, but very similar. The tools you'll need are a flat blade screwdriver, a Philips screwdriver, a putty knife or door panel clip tool, a 10 mm socket and ratchet, and a 10 mm wrench. We're going to just fast forward taking the door panel off. If you want to see this in real time, just check out our other videos for the Grand Am door panel video. Probably you can pick up enough here. It's really I think four Philips screws and prying out the trim plate and stuff like that. Then once you do that, then you have to pull the pins from around the perimeter. There's another screw right behind that little reflector. Then also just so you know, I'll use fast forward throughout the video too just putting in bolts or tightening things just to kind of speed along to get it within the YouTube 10 minutes and also to provide as much detailed information as possible.

You want to remove this water shield. You want to try to do it relatively carefully. You don't want to tear it because this is important keeping the interior of the car dry. Now you're going to have to remove two bolts. One there and then one up here. This car has a broken regulator, so it's kind of in an odd spot. You can see it right down in there, right next to the window motor. Not where I'm pointing where I'm pointing there in the shadow of my finger. Remove those two bolts. That's what will happen when the regulator goes bad in a weird spot, but you can get in there and get them.

Take some tape, and put a couple pieces up here. The window comes right up. Just put the tape on here to hold it up for right now. Quick freeze frame here. See where the arrow and the circle is? That little white clip should actually go with the window. It was a little blooper on my part. This car was broken and I didn't realize it until I started putting it back together.

Now I can take off the bolts that hold the regulator: one, two, three, four, five. I've taken these three out, and then these I can just loosen out. The regulator then actually goes up. Take that out. Unplug the motor. Now I just need to remove this little pin here. I have to remove this plate here too. Once that plate is out, you can begin to get the tire regulator out. I'll hang up this bolt here. That bolt's in place. Tighten those up. Now I'm going to plug it in just to make sure that the regulator is working and the window motor is working, also to run it up just a little bit so I have easy access to this bolt here. Everything looks like it is working. Now I'll put this back in. Now we gotta get our clips back on. We're tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight, tight. Slide the window back down. See that there. We'll do a test, and everything is working pretty good.

Now at this point it's just a matter of putting the door panel back together. We're going to speed through that. If you do want to see the complete video at real speed putting the door panel back on, you can just check out our other videos and you'll see that. Maybe you can get enough by my quick motions here. That's pretty much it. This window regulator is something that the average person can do. No real specialized tools or anything like that required. We hope this helps you out.
