DIY - 98 - 02 Corolla Window Regulator & Motor Replacement

 
This is a DIY for the drivers side window regulator , I have a DIY on how to replace the motor with a after market motor but this regulator came with a motor .
 
 
 
 



First this you do is remove the door panel off and remove the black cover off as well .
 





 
Then you have to raise the window slightly so that you line up the bolt to the hole to slide your ratchet extension through to remove one of the bolts . One you remove the bolts then you slowly lower the window down then carefully especially if your windows are tinted not to scratch them as you pull the window out towards you . WARNING : Some corollas have the power window lock switch when you lower the window . You can jam your fingers or brake the window .



 
Now there are 6 bolts holding the regulator and motor to the inside of the door .
 
 
Then slide it through the hole on the bottom .
 

 
Remember to take out the two way thread and put it on the new regulator .
 
 

 The regulator comes slightly greased , just add some but do not over do it .
 
Then when you are done test the window before you put the door panel back on .

  1. Thank you so much for posting this -- it was very helpful for me, as our window regulator failed catastrophically last night and I had to get it fixed ASAP so that I could drive the car this morning. My manual was lost, but I was able to use your instructions to pull out the regulator and temporarily get it bent back into shape so that I can use the car until the new regulator comes in and I can replace it for real,
