REMOVAL
1. Raise the front door window glass to the full-up position if possible. If the front door window glass cannot be raised and is in a partially down
position, it must be supported so that it will not fall into the door well during window regulator electric drive removal.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Remove front door trim panel and watershield.
4. Disconnect front window regulator electric drive harness connector.
5. Remove the three window regulator electric drive mounting screws and disengage the window regulator electric drive assembly from the front
door window regulator.
WARNING: IF THE REGULATOR COUNTERBALANCE SPRING MUST BE REMOVED OR REPLACED FOR ANY REASON,
MAKE SURE THAT THE REGULATOR ARMS ARE IN A FIXED POSITION PRIOR TO REMOVAL TO PREVENT POSSIBLE
INJURY DURING C-SPRING UNWIND.

3. Connect battery ground cable. Check window regulator electric drive for proper operation.
4. Install the front door trim panel and watershield.

drive.
