FridgeFreezer Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Not too bad, bit like wrestling an octopus through a letterbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bit fiddly to get in, so pay careful attention on how you remove the old one. The new one may also not come with the motor, so You'll have to swap it over. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blippie Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 If you are ultra cautious it will take an hour. "Refitting is reversal of removal" is the key phrase, so as per the previous post do pay attention to how it comes out. Once you have removed the door card (gently but firmly does it) you can carefully slice the plastic water shedder to gain access to the nuts, bolts 'n' holes you need with minimum damage You may have to move the window pane up or down in order to line the bolt holding the glass in the runner with a hole. Remove the old regulator, make note of how the whole thing is configured (ie is the window on the same position in the old and new regulators), swap and test the motor, refit, test the whole thing, then tape up the water shedder and refit the door card. Bob is indeed your father's brother. Cheers Blippie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
