Window Motor and Regulator Installation
This process is simple and easy and should only take 30-45 minutes after you watch this video. If you have any question please ask me in the comments section below.
I used the information provided to me by www.clubfrontier.org . If you own a Nissan Frontier or even an Exterra, I would suggest utilizing this site to help you work on your vehicle. A special thanks goes out to CD85233 for the How To PDF and photos. Club Frontier is AWSOME!
My broken window motor and regulator would get stuck at the bottom of the transition and I would have to force the window up with my hand before this. Now it functions like new. - Jak na to + styl

Great walkthrough! Speeding it up during the work with the voiceover was perfect. Repairs are always easier for me the second time around, I got my first time in watching your vid. Thanks!
After summoning enough courage to tackle the job I'm happy to claim success. Had your video playing while I removed and replaced the motor and regulator. About an hour and no problems. Thank you! Very effective camera angles and instructive voice over. Two Thumbs Up!
Wow! Thank you for this video!!! I'm a single mother and my driver door power window went out a few months ago after a quote of $600 from the dealership and many other quotes for hundreds I knew I had to save up...Well a few days ago I had to renew my tags and get a smog not remembering to mention my broken window the smog guy rolled it all the way down and it was completely stuck.. of course he was like sucks to be you I wanted to cry I already spent hundreds for my tags....
That's when I realized I have to fix this.. I found your video and your video was so comprehensive and straight to the point you gave me the confidence to do it myself I got everything ready like you said and no surprises came up because you already trouble shooted everything...
I am forever greatful that you gave this single mom the confidence. I fixed my window myself!!! Thank you!!! I got the part in Stock at Auto zone 97 bucks motor®ulator
Just finished mine, thank you. This video was perfect. If anyone orders the motor/regulator from Amazon and the motor holes don't line up right, use two bolts and a zip tie on the third. Someone on Amazon suggested that and it worked perfectly for me.
Great tip! Thanks for the information!
Thanks I was able to replace mine today in under an hour. I am fairly handy but not a mechanic that’s for sure. $50 fix! Thanks again
So far followed you instructions exactly. Removed the regulator and ordered the one you recommended on Amazon. Will get it in two days and be ready for my inspection. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks so much for taking the time to video and edit the process for installing a new window regulator. My 2006 Frontier's regulator is tired and due to be replaced. I have done different vehicles before but it sure was nice to see my specific model and the instruction to remove the different plastic parts without damaging them.Again, thanks.
Changed out my regulator last night in under an hour...thanks so much for the tutorial.
Great video... gave me all the confidence to do it myself... whoever suggested using cardboard to jam, prop up the window is brilliant. Wonderful how we we can learn from each other! I also used a small clamp to prop up window when it is in the partially up position. Did it myself, was easy thanks to Prep-Know-Do!
Dude.. Thanks so much for the video. I've got an automotive background but power windows have always stymied me. Never again. Took a little more than half an hour with no surprises and saved a ton of money. Thank you.
Titus212b that is great to hear. I'm glad I could help
Replaced the regulator today, thanks to your video. Much appreciated that you took the time to upload.
TheLeatherChannel your welcome. I appreciate your comment.
Terrific video. Came in handy last year as an an excellent guide to successfully replacing motor and regulator in my Frontier. Just watched it again as I contemplate if I'm up to replacing driver's door latch assy., and video allowed me an armchair peek inside the door to see what the job will entail. Thanks again.
good luck with the door latch assembly
I Just did this job using this video as a guide and it went perfectly with no problems.
The regulator available on Amazon for $40 - $50 is a perfect fit and works just as well as an OEM part, so save your money and go there.
I used Gorilla tape to hold the window in place. I used one long piece vertically on the center of the window and over the top of the door, leaving enough on the end to grab and pull off easily. When I needed to close the window I could just pull the tape off the top of the door and use it to pull the window up and then secure it again.
One suggestion: The video shows using a screwdriver and plastic scraper to get the trim off. For $20 at AutoZone I got a set of trim tools, which made getting the trim off without damage incredibly easy.
Good tip!
Thank vey much for posting this video. It took the fear out of doing the job. It went smooth with no hitch. It felt easy!!! Thanks again!
Your welcome. I'm glad it helped!
Thank you ! I used your technique !! You saved me $200. I subscribed.
Glad I could help
Great video! I managed to change mine out in about 30 minutes after watching this video. Thanks!!
Awesome great to hear!
Thank you for your video, it really works, I repair my power window motor thanks to you...saved a lot of money....
Awesome! great work!
Thank you. I completed the repair. Very helpful.
Great video, made installation easy
Even though I drive a right hand drive in Australia, i was forwarded your video by Courtesy Nissan and found it spot on. Just what I needed. The dealership was going to charge me $1300 for the motor and regulator but I found a second hand one for $170. With your video and the part....I saved a fortune. Keep up the great work! And super thanks!
Wow, what a savings! I appreciate your comment. Thanks
Shoutout to the Professional Prepper!!! Saved me the headache of not breaking plastic pieces, destroying the door seal and destroying my glass. :-D. THANK YOU VERY MUCH Sir for the the informative video!!
Thanks for your help,I did it easy with your teaching.
Awesome...thank you so much! Piece of cake! My wife is happy again! :)
With my Amazon gift credit, I was able to buy the motor assembly for my 2006 Frontier for $14.50. I was a little nervous about trying this but it went very well. Just take your time and be patient. I never comment on CZcams videos but this is great!
Great to hear! Saving money.
Great video. Thanks for posting! Saved me a couple hundred bucks.
Mahalo for the video. Made the job very easy. Done in less than 45 mins.
Dave Johnson Thanks, glad I could help.
Great video made the job 10 times easier watching it being done. Wish I had CZcams when I was growing up it would of made things a lot easier.
CZcams is great
Great video. Helped me a lot. I have one suggestion. Rather than much up your window with tape glue, get some thick pieces of cardboard and wedge them between the window and the upper part of the door. Was easy, worked great and no residue. Thanks again!
Donald Hughes great idea!
Great video! Helped out a ton
This is awesome. I took my old one out and tried to clean it out, but it is a goner, so I ordered a new one, Less than $50.00 and free shipping. I appreciate your vide0, and your skill editing it. You sped up the action and modified the dialogur to make it sound normal. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the positive feedback.
Good luck! let me know if you cave questions.
Best video ever!!! Thanks
Thanks so much for this. Saved me $500 or so. I also used the cardboard wedge technique and it worked like a charm. Some of the door pieces are slightly different (shapes/locations, etc) on my '10 X-Terra, but it was easy to figure out. Really appreciate the step-by-step!
That cardboard wedge idea seems to be working for a lot of people! Great. Go buy some beer with that extra cash!
The Professional Prepper (Prep Know Do) So that's where my extra $500 went! lol
Awesome video. You saved me a lot of time and grief. Once you watch this video you'll see how do-able this job is. Saved me about $300 in dealer labor and over-priced dealer parts!
Warren Naai awesome!
Very informative. Huge help. Thank you kind sir.
Thanks a ton, very useful video, had it replaced in an hour. Loved the gasket removal analogy of "it's like skinning a deer"!!!
Your welcome! That deer ain't gonna skin itself! Get er done!
Great tutorial man... thanks for the help..you make it look easy, and its really not that hard. What was great was the link to get the part. Thanks a ton man.....
Don Foley no problem. I'm glad I could help
Many thanks for preparing this video - It worked wonderfully. The only issue I had was having to bend one of the locating pins on the motor which may have been an Auto Parts Warehouse OEM oversight. For shoring up the window I used 8" builders shims which are readily available. I found that by taping four shims together and placing one bundle on each side of the window I was able to easily secure the window in the both the lower position to remove the window mounting screws, as well as firmly holding the window in the upright (closed) position. My original motor was burnt out and did not allow any upward or downward movement. Many thanks again.
Doug Hague great thanks for the input!
thank you for the video, very helpful to save money instead of paying the dealer
Hey Bro, you rock!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏾 I just bought a 2007 Nissan frontier and the driver side window was not operating properly. Then began to stop. I felt ghetto. I had to bat on the door to get the door window to operate. After watching your video I purchased a motor and installed it this weekend myself. It was a learning experience but you guys lead the way. Your step-by-step instructions help me save hundreds of dollars. Thank you very much. It works just like brand new. I can now go on the base without opening my door. Like everybody else..
The struggle is real when the SPC laughs at you when you have to open your door to show your CAC. Congrats, you are no longer "that guy"!
Great vid!! This indeed being super easy. Start to finish...35 minutes. Hardest part for me was getting that foam off. Ha
Definitely glad i skipped the dealer cost!! Thanks!!
your welcome glad I could help!
Thanks bro! You're instructions were perfect. I only had 1 hiccup - my window wouldn't roll down at all, so I carefully drilled a hole to access the right side bolt of the window retainer clip. Worked out well, Thanks again!!
Brilliant, good tip. Mine was doing that before and I was able to apply downward pressure on the window while pushing on the window button and it unstuck itself briefly.
Great idea! Im working on two doors that are off the car and switching regulators between the two, and this is exactly what I am going to do. Thanks for commenting!
You were a great help. Thank you so much.
Ricardo Quadreny your welcome! Thanks for your support!
Great video my son and I finished the job during halftime of the Super Bowl
Rodney Furoyama, you and your son, my friend, are bad asses!
Thanks man. I managed to do this this past weekend with a buddy. My window completely stopped working and I couldn't get it down to the spot where I could see both bolts so I have to stick my hands in the door with a wrench and unscrew the bolts manually. It was a pain in the ass but we got it done. I would have never attempted it had I not seen this video. Thanks for making it!
Robert Michael Reyes your welcome. Glad I could help.
thank you so much this was very helpfull
Very well done instructional video. I was able to decide from the clear instructions whether to DIY or pay to have it done. Bought the Dorman brand replacement online at Amazon for less than $50 and followed the video’s removal/installation instructions. Completed the job in a short time with my wife helping. Saved $350-400. Thank you to “The Professional Prepper”!
Thank you! I am glad I could be of help to you, and hope you saved enough money to buy yourself a drink🍻👍 cheers!
thank you! i have the same problem :) frontier 2005 SE, i was told it was the switch so i ordered online amazon, its cheaper 25 bucks compare to parts store that runs from 200 to 300 for a driver switch, so i installed it and i get the same problem, so its the motor, i ordered it at amazon for 30 bucks and i havent install it yet, thanks to your video!! i will try doing it later today!! thanks a million for sharing!!
How did it go?
oh it went fine, it was easy thanks to your video, works like new and i save tons of money for doing it myself, now im a pro haha, thank you sir!
If you have a pathfinder make sure the motor you purchase has a 6 pin connector, the 2 pin will not work, ran into this 2 days ago when I bought the window and regulator with the 2 pin connector and my 05 pathfinder has a 6 pin.The model that I installed after returning the 2 pin was a Dorman 742-529, it was the motor only so you have to mount it on the regulator but it's easy(only 3 bolts). Works fine, easy to change. It sucks I couldn't find a entire assembly but if your motor dies and your regulator is fine, the Dorman 742-529 is a direct replacement. Reassembling takes 15-20 minutes
Thank you for your input
You rock bro!! Just ordered via the amazon link you provided! Very helpful!
derik king thanks! Let me know if you have any questions during the install.
How did your install go?
Thanks for the video! Just replaced the motor and regulator and my Frontier, could not have done it without your tutorial! Also, "functions check"? You sound like a fellow Soldier. 😉
Alex Bogaski glad I could help. Maybe you could do a Frontier PMCS video 😉.
Thanks my friend for the help
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help.
Thanks for the video, worked out great for us! We purchased a "Dorman" product from O'Reily's Auto Parts Store. Works like a champ! 😊
instablaster...
Thanks so much! I did this by myself. I didn’t have to bend the motor mounts thankfully. My only recommendation would be spray silicone for lubrication to make it easier on motor. I used gorilla tape, didn’t have painters tape.
Nice! Good Work
Thank you. I just replaced this part on my Nissan and it saved me a ton of money. The part costs about $50 and I spent an hour and a half replacing it. The dealership wanted over $700. What a rip off!
Great work! $$$$ In the bank!
Thanks for this video it really helped!
raidiostar Your welcome. glad I could help
Great video bro! Thank you!
Jose Contreras your welcome. I hope your window gets fixed.
I did it in about 1 hour, was messier than your switch but effective nonetheless.
Great video, swapped out the window regulator/motor on my ‘14 Frontier after watching once and I am not gifted mechanically.
That's awesome!
that was awesome thank you. I'm ready to take on my frontier
great to hear. good luck!
GO CARDS!
I did my replacement today and followed your video step by step. The only thing i did differently is i used several pieces of cardboard to wedge the window in the up position. It worked like a charm. Thank you so much for your video. I saved lots of money over the estimates I received for the work. Thank you. It was really easy.
628robair smart move with the cardboard. I didn't even think about that.
Thanks for the very helpful video. I just came from the Nissan dealer with my 07 Frontier and they said it would be $850. Update. The part came today and I followed your video to the T. It works fine. But you didn't say if the new part needed to be greased. So I used a little.
The stealership will always try to overcharge you for parts and labor. Great job on saving cash, now you can buy a beer and relax knowing you don't have to rely on a dealership or high priced mechanic to complete easy repairs on your vehicle. Cheers!
This video is excellent. Just make note of which screws go where.... they are different lengths.. still excellent video.
I had the driver door window issue on my 2006 Nissan Frontier Nismo and bought the kit you suggested. Everything went fine until the function test. The motor sent the regulator down but would not raise it. So it just remained locked int the down position. I took it out and reinstalled the original unit and it worked!!! Weird! So then I put the whole door back together and while testing the window it worked but not at full speed and then my truck battery died! The battery was 10 years old so I went and got a new battery and now the window with the original motor/regulator works like new! I now wonder if my low battery condition was the cause of the problem all along. I like your video it helped a lot. I used a folded piece of garden hose to wedge the window in the up position, a lot easier than the painters tape. Thanks a bunch for your video!
Frankie D that is odd. 10 year old battery is unheard of! Batteries only last 3 years in the desert of phoenix
Well, I'm rather a different type of driver. I got the 2006 Frontier/Nismo in 2007 with 16K on it from my son who couldn't afford the payments. In 2010, I replaced the battery while on vacation. Today my milage is 35,600, mainly because I'm an avid cyclisit and seldom use the truck. So, in the past 10 years I'v only racked up 19,600 miles, or less than 2,000 a month, so the battery didn't get a lot of use.
Yeah thanks that helps me out a lot
My pleasure!
Holy Cow! Watched this video after seeing that it would cost me $500 at the dealer for this. Ordered the part from the link above, replaced it in just under an hour. Easy. The cardboard was a good idea. I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier. Thanks PP!
Chris Keller that's great. That's about a $420 savings if you include your labor. Go buy yourself some beer!
good just what i need to see
Thanks i did it!
You're welcome
good job
thx
Awesome video! Knocked out the job in less than an hour. One caveat: using painter's tape to hold window in place is not compatible with some aftermarket window tints. Live and learn, eh?
modad57 thanks
Good
Wanna know something funny, the window motor and regulator from the 1989 Nissan D21 is the same as that you just pull off
makes sense
Great Video!! Removed & Installed perfectually came up, went down BUT will not come back up. HELP!!
Try to pinch it and pull up while actuating the window raise button.
do you have a video on how to remove an 05-12 pathfinder rear (gate) window motor
No I do not.
Thanks for the great video. My problem is the motor is completely dead so I can't roll the window down to access the regulator bolts. Do you have any tips on easy access for the bolts with the window in the up position?
Try messing with the connection to the wiring harness. It should at least be making a noise like it's trying to move the window. If that noise is present then with the door panel off, have someone actuate the motor while you are pushing down on the window with both hands.
If there is no noise, you might be able to force it down. good luck
in the video at the end when he tested it then he said he moved it so he could get the window back down and tightin it up what does he mean I do not understand that part this is a great video I orderd mine today can some one please explaine that for me I would appreciate it,
You want to untape / lower the window down onto the window regulator and tighten the securing bolts. Let me know if you still need help.
Cool video. Thank you for making and sharing.
Will the replacement also fit a King cab?
It will. The front driver doors are the exact same.
@@NissanDudeAZ Thanks Dude.
Will these parts work on an 2009 pathfinder with master window controls for all 4 windows?
Yes, make sure you select the correct door window
How do you replace just the motor?
My door is a manual window system. Can an automatic window system be installed on it?
It can. However, you will need to run wires and possibly cut holes in plastic to make it work. Many have done it. Go to ClubFrontier.org for more info.
Any bypass if the switch does not work to get drivers window up?
I do not know of any, but if you apply direct pressure to the window by pulling or pushing up on the window from both sides the motor might be able to get it up with the help. Im not sure of any other way. Please post a comment on here as there are others that have the same issue. Thanks.
How did you know it was just dead to begin with this is the first trouble I've had. 2011 pathfinder. I guess I'm just hoping it's not the full deal
The window would get stuck halfway while trying to go up. It would go down just fine, but I would have to pull up on it while holding the up on the switch to get it to go back up.
Thanks for this video! My motor is completely toast and I can't move the window to get it in the right position to access the bolts. Any suggestions?
is it in the down or up position?
Up
Try to push downward with both hands flat on the glass and have someone press the down on the switch. If not you may have to follow the video steps, unbolt the track and start wiggling things to free it up. spray lube on the motor and tracks.
I been looking for a rear left regulator for 2010 Nissan Pathfinder online but it only show front driver side and front passenger side. So my question is... Is the front driver regulator the same as the rear left regulator?
Cali state-of-mind My guess is that it's the same as the drivers side. Try to find a parts manual. If they are the same part then your good to go.
They are not the same!
Check this site out.

I am not sure what was wrong with your window? I have a 2007 Frontier. The commutator of the window motor was covered with brush dust particles. I clean it with a pocket knife to insure electrical separation. It worked like it should for 1.5 year. Now it is stuck in the down position. Need to take it apart again.
It just wears out due to the plastic components, corrosion, and motor it uses. A quick swap for cheap and it works like new.
I ordered motor only. Is it necessary to replace both regulator and motor at same time?
Ty
I did, because they work in conjunction with eachother ant the regulator wears out and should probably be replaced. If you are strapped for cash then just try to replace one, but if you dont have much time available or you want to not risk having to take everything apart again, replace both at the same time.
The parts come assembled together when you buy them both, which is how the dealerships do it.
Write back if just replacing the motor worked.
Ok done. I sent back motor and ordered combo, glad I did and only cost $37 on Amazon. This was super simple only took about 40 min with clean up. Thank you for your help 😁
Awesome, way to go!
Do I have to buy a new regulator if I buy a new window motor.
they come together in one unit. I have not found them for separate purchase. They both wear out and need to be replaced. When I inspected them both pieces had significant wear and corrosion from use and weather. Trust me get both.
I have an amazon link in the video description for the product I used.
driver side power window rolled down but it does not back up
is it all the way down, or only partially? Mine was only partially and I was able to have someone pull up while I operated the switch.
How I'm gonna take out the screws in the bottom ? Which I coudnt raise. Up the window.
Bob Sampayan pinch the window and pull/push it up while u actuate the motor. you may have to get someone to help you.
The Professional Prepper (Prep Know Do) I banged on the inside of the door and the motor worked enough to get the window down enough. Mine was stuck shut as well.
Robin Baum get jiggy with it!
@@ProfessionalPepper The fucking motor does not lower the window!!! I can not actuate the motor!!! This is the WHOLE reason for me to replace the motor!!!
@@FritzDaB try pushing down on the window as you actuate the window motor. Get someone to help you so you can sandwich grip the window between both hands.
How do you determine whether the problem is the motor, switch or regulator?
John Arizona Welp its easy to just replace the whole kit minus the switch. If you try to replace just one thing the otherwill eventually fail, making you reopen your door up.
However, if you must. The switch w supplys power to the motor. So if their is no noise when you push the switch it means it might be the switch, failed connections, or wires. If it's getting stuck or struggling to go up or down then it's the motor or regulator. You would have to take it apart, inspect it, clean it, lube it, reinstall it, and test it to see if it aleviated the problem. It's just best to replace both. I have a link in the video description to the part on amazon that hundreds of people have used to fix the problem. Let me know how it goes.
John Arizona by the way my name is Jon and I'm from Az
I went ahead and ordered the Regulator and Motor from Walmart.Com-$48 and if that's not it I can return to any Walmart. I can't stand Amazon. Ordered yesterday and just received a ship notice, it will arrive tomorrow. I had voltage to the motor but motor dead. Thanks for your help friend. Nice to meet you Jon. God bless!
www.walmart.com/ip/Dorman-741-348-Power-Window-Reg-Motor-Assembly/42916891 If you ever order from W try to get a part that says: Sold & shipped by Walmart .
I included links in the video description on where to buy the replacement motor and regulator. It's not OEM, but it fit perfectly for me and many others.
Ask me questions! Good Luck!
amzn.to/3q8uiCH
This seems so aggressive lolol
uses a piece of cardboard then processed to bang on it XD i would of done the same.
gonna be careful...... fug it smash!
Mine just blew out, waiting on new regulator, and watched this video to verify things that need to be done in a certain order. Thanks.
BUT, ensure you have the correct motor connector; mine (driver side) has a 6-pin configuration; most R/R I've seen never mention which connector, 6-pin or 2-pin. Luckily I found Amazon carries ALL RIGHT side/PASSENGER 2-pins; EBay seems to carry nothing BUT Driver side 6-pin, motor, or motor and regulator. Just the motor is an easy R&R, 3 screws; while apart it is a good time to give the regulator a look over, and cleaning.
