Very easy to follow. I'm a 21 year old female and I followed this exactly step by step and I was able to replace my regulator, only mine was on the other side (passenger). It's the exact same thing. Thank you for doing this, if not, I was gonna have to pay someone to fix it for me and with a brand new baby, I don't have money like that to spend! Great job
Hey Diana, good for you! Thanks for watching my video! You might like my other Sonata videos and on other things. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best, The Sailor
Very good 👍👏
Thanks, this helped me fix my daughters window in one day. One tip I have is when removing the old regulator to drill into the two white plastic tabs that hold the window clip to the track. This separates the two and allows you to raise the window and easliy remove the regulator.
Thank you for just putting the instructions in plain text and not having annoying music in the background. I wish all youtube instructional videos were like this...

Hey Lsailor1. Thanks for taking the time and effort to photo document R&R of the window regulator. This will help me working on the wife's grandsons 06 Sonata. Appreciate your attention to detail. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching my video 06! The biggest problem people have is getting the window free from the tab that holds it. Might want to read all the comments. Make sure you have the widest, flat faced screwdriver that will fit in the slot. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Like them? Subscribe for the latest!

Thanks for you input! Glad that it worked for you and any inputs to help the situation are greatly appreciated!
outstanding video shows exactly how to replace a broken 07 sonata rear regulator, and the only one like it on the internet.
Thank you. Great helpful video...
Just consider adding this at the appropriate place:
"when removing the glass from between the plastic gripper tabs (after removing the screw) the rear plastic tab STILL holds the glass with a plastic ring and MAY be stuck with silicone. SO - while moving the plastic to the rear via the slot you MUST be careful not to touch the glass AND it helps to have someone else pull up on the glass lightly until you SLIGHTLY clear the plastic ring. Remove the screwdriver and raise the glass to the top and tape in place.
Also the wiring harness goes behind the glass travel rod so you must remove the electrical connector to the power door locks also if removing the panel completely."
My issue was the plastic cable holder (on the glass guide) had broken and so the entire panel must be replaced.
Your video was very helpful.

Hey Steve, Thanks for watching my video. I assume you are talking about your outside handle? Look at my other video "replace 2006 Hyundai rear window regulator" There are several things that have to be done to get the regulator off. (1) Get window taped up (2) you need to lower the window lifting mechanism all the way down to the bottom. (3) There is a "three fingered" plastic piece on the backside of the regulator. Remove it by drilling out the rivets that hold it. Then pull regulator up.
Thank you so much to spend the time in creating this very detailed instructional video. I watched it a few times and successfully removed the window and regulator. The Chilton manual book I have is pretty much useless for this task.

After you remove the Phillips head screw, you need to use a flat blade screwdriver (of similar width to the slot), and carefully push in and wiggle the window at the same time and lift. If you do it properly, it will "pop" and be free. What you have is a round piece of plastic that goes thru a round hole in the glass. You are pushing that plastic out of the window with the screwdriver. If that doesn't work, there is another way, but it is very complicated.
Can you say what the other way is? my window is being particularly stubborn as far as being removed.
Sure! Just drill out the rivets and then use nuts, bolts and lock washers to replace the rivets on the new regulator. Thanks for watching my video!
Thank you!!!! My window finally went down.
Fantastic! Best, The Sailor.

How do i get the glass to REATTACH to the regulator
Thanks for watching my video and your kind comments. Best of luck and write if you have problems.
When you’re freeing the glass from the holder, do you push in and then to the right or just push in?
Thanks for watching my video! You just push in. No turning. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Like them? Subscribe for the latest! Best, The Sailor.
Thanks for te video.
At 2.55, I removed the window raise/lower switch from the front panel and reconnected the cable to the switch. I could then raise and lower the window. I had to do this because I was working outdoors and had to raise the window when it rains before I could free the window.

Hi, this is a fairly helpful video. However I am having a hard time understanding a certain part. At 2:15 when you show how to detach the window from the regulator, I don't really understand how to do this... do I just push the flat head into where the bolt was and pull up on the window at the same time? You show a pic of a small narrow headed flathead screwdriver inside of what appears to be where the window rests, from there I don't know how to actually separate the window from it. If you could please help me out. I'm having a very hard time getting this done.
Thanks for watching my video! You are on the right track. The window has a round hole in it where the bolt goes to hold it in. The flat faced screwdriver pushes the round, plastic holding part that keeps the window in. Just push on the part with the screwdriver and then you will be able to pull up on the window. Get a friend to pull on the window as you push in with a WIDE flat faced screwdriver. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best with it and let me know if you need more help. The Sailor.
Hi LSailor1
Thank you for posting this awesome instructional video.
I have followed your instructions but got stuck at the point where you release the window from the plastic guide. My problem is the cable's gotten entangled and gotten tight and it won't let the window slide up to the point where I can see the screw in the hole in the sheet metal. Do you think I could simply cut the cable and replace just the cable instead of the entire regulator panel. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching my video and your kind comment Ravi! Two things that you have to recognize. (1) the window HAS to be all the way up to get the regulator off and (2) even if you were able to put the wire back on, you haven't found the reason why this happened. It is time to buy a new regulator (they are cheap). To get it off, take off the motor (seen above the speaker at 3:00 minutes in the video). This will allow the cable to be loose. You can then lift the window. If not, take all the bolts off the regulator and use a pair of dikes to cut the cable. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar.

Thank you for your quick response. I will follow your advice and order a new regulator. Is the Dorman as good as an original Hyundai part? I have now Subscribed to your youtube channel. Hope to see more amazing videos.
You will be very satisfied with Dorman and thank you so much for your subscription! Best, The Sailor.
I asked a handy man for help. He did not use any tools. He used his bare hand. He put
his index finger inside the lifter and he was able to wiggle some room in between the
lifter. He was able to separate the window from the lifter with ease.
I bought a used regulator with motor for $50 plus tax.
A motor and a regulator comes in a package or in a set.
90% of the time it is the regulator (not the motor) that stops working.
To be exact, 90% of the time it is the steel wire or cable that stops working.
So glad you were able to get it fixed! Best, the Sailor.
Hi there. I'm having the same problem the others seem to be having. I've got everything removed, and I'm at the point where I have to remove the glass from the slide plate. But no matter what I try, it doesn't seem to push back far enough to let the window through. I don't want to apply more pressure, since you cautioned that that could break the glass, but when my friend pulls up on the glass, the slide just moves with it. Is there any tips you can give on how to get that lip out when it's being stubborn?
+Tim Smolinski Thanks for watching my video Tim and sorry you are having that problem. This is the "brute force" method. Take all the bolts out on the regulator.Pull it out just a little. You will then be able to see the area that is holding the window. Take a long pry bar/flat screwdriver to get that plastic part apart enough to raise the window. Recommend you have a friend to raise the window while you are getting the plastic part apart. Let me know how it goes. Best, The Sailor.
+Lsailor1 I wasn't able to separate the two with the tools I had available, so I cheated a bit to solve the problem. I raised the window up so that the clip holding the slide plate was visible, and drilled into it slightly, since I had the drill handy for the rivets, just enough that I was able to snap it off and detach the slide from the track. Then I removed the metal plate and just unclipped the slide track from the window by hand. Got it out, got it replaced, and everything works now. This video was invaluable to getting it fixed. Thank you.
So glad that all is good! You may want to see my other Hyundai videos and other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best, The Sailor.
Just One thing that needs to be addressed here, When at what point do you remove the motor for the window and at what point do you reinstall the motor and in what relationship is the window itself ? I removed the motor after removing the door panel/regulator and greased the slide and motor gear prior to installing the panel/regulator and window and after reinstalling the screw to hold the window in the adapter that rides on the slide I taped the window back into the fully "UP" position and then reinstalled the motor thinking that The motor will hold the window in the "UP" position as a default/Neutral Position and so far it's working
Glad that everything is working for you and appreciate you watching my video. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best, The Sailor.
Great video! Any tips on how to determine if it's the motor or the regulator that is the problem? I press the switch but the window doesn't go up or down and i can heard the motor grinding/trying to work...
Thanks for watching my video! The good news is that you know the motor is good! The bad news is that you will need to replace the regulator. Some part of the regulator is stuck and the motor is trying to turn the gear that raises and lowers the window and can't. You can see the motor at 2:49 and 3:01 in the video (right above the speaker). Go ahead and detach the motor and all the cables from the regulator. Get a new one and throw it back together.

One more question.... do I need to unhook the car battery before I attempt to change the window regulator?
I am trying to understand the slide at 2:31. What is the connection between (1) and (2)?
Why do I have to identify the window holding screw before detaching the cable?
(1)Once loose, there is one cable that needs to be detached. There is a little push down area indicated.
(2)Before you detach it, lower the window so that the window holding screw is visible through the hole covered by a rubber plug.
Thanks Su for watching my video! It is a little hard to understand, but when the cable you are disconnecting in (1) is connected to the switch that raises and lowers the window. Once you disconnect it, there will be no way to lower the window to see the screw that holds the window in place. Any more questions, don't hesitate to write. Best, The Sailor
To all the people having problems separating the window from the plastic clip:
-once the screw is out
-use a big flathead screwdriver
-push against the plastic that holds the treaded brass inlay
-push it in about 1/8" - 3/16" (2mm - 3mm), not more or you're going to break it
-at that point you should be able to lift up the window without any problems
I hope that helps. It worked on my 2010 Sonata.
And big thanks to Lsailor1!
Thanks for watching my video and the nice suggestion Middo! People have been having problems with the window. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best. The Sailor.
if your replacing the regulator assm. just break off the plastic tabs on the window mount rail and its much easier.
Im confused. After removeing the screw and pushing in the plastic piece it released the too part of the window but not the bottom. What did I forget to do?
@UniqueButterfly what I did, was loosened the window screq almost all the way through, then, using the same Philips head and screw, pushed it in with my right hand, while holding and pulling up with the left. Once I felt it loosen up, I used a sandal (rubber) to hold it in place while pulling the screw out. This allowed me to then slide the glass all the way up (take out sandal), place the sandal again to hold it all the way up (or tape) then proceeded.
@@imneverbackingdown thank you for the response. So what you did was when you heard it clip out of place you pulled the window glass up, placed the sandal rubber in between the window shaft and then pulled the glass up?
How did you pry the last connector?
Thanks for watching my video! If you are referring to the one at 7:31 in the video, there is a wire piece that needs to be pried up and removed.

HI , I like your video, Please,I wonder if you can help , I know your video is not for a kia rondo 2008. I have not been able to find a video for it. But this is the closest thing to the kia rondo. the regulator is almost the same. My question is: after taking everything out , this white plastic thing on the left top corner on the video 6:51 is not coming out, is this thing attach to the exterior handle? , is there any trick to take it out? thakt you so much for any help.
+Amber Matchett Thanks for watching my video Amber! That white thing is used by the robots when they insert the regulator in the door. It can be cut off and once the regulator is out, drill the rivets out and toss it. Not needed. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Best, The Sailor.
I can't seem to pry the regulator metal panel off. I removed all of the bolts from the panel and the motor but the panel won't come off. I have already removed the screw from the window and taped it in the up position. Any advice?
Thanks for watching my video Rachel! If you were able to get the window off the regulator, it should be ready to come off. I would recommend GENTLY prying the regulator at the top to see what is still holding it on. We are talking about a 2006 Hyundai Sonata? If not, it might be a totally different situation. Best, The Sailor.
It's actually a 2009. I thought 2006 and 2009 were pretty much the same in terms of the door regulator. Is this not true? I cannot find any information on a 2009 sonata regulator!
I took a look at a pic of a 2009. Looks the same. One possibility for it still staying in is the plastic fingers that robots use for putting it in the vehicle. You can see them in this picture. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81CkcnVgW8L._SL1500_.jpg Just pull the regulator out at an angle from the fingers. Or take some heavy duty scissors and cut them off. They are not needed. Let me know how it goes. Best, The Sailor.
Do you think I need to remove the door lock and the outside door handle?
Rachel D Why don't you take pictures of the total regulator on the door and looking into the door from the top with the regulator pulled out about an inch. Maybe I can see what's up. No, you shouldn't have to take off the lock. Send the pics to Lsailor1@gmail.com
I have 2010 hyundi elantra have issue with regulator on the rear drivers side. Is ths the same procedure?
I would think so, but these procedures are for a 2006 Sonata. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Like them? Subscribe for the latest!

You are quite welcome!
THIS IS AN EXPLANATION OF AN OEM RECOMMENDED SHORTCUT., AKA "TECH TIP" NUMBER 17. As explained below, the Tech Tip eliminates all risk of breaking the glass. I'm not a mechanic, but I've done a few window regulators in my life for myself and friends, and without this shortcut, this one was by far the trickiest. With the shortcut, it's not bad.
2006 - 2010 Sonatas all use the same part (Dorman 749-322 for the rear driver side door), so this video also works for all those years. Google "Dorman 749-322" and you will find Dorman's pdf instructions for this job. For the most part, those instructions track this video. I'd watch this video twice before doing this job, and I'd read those instructions twice, too.
The hard part of this job is explained beginning at the 4:00 mark of the video and at Step 17 and "Alt Step 17" (named "tech tip #17") on page 11 of the pdf instructions. Play the video from 4:00 to 4:50 about 3 times. This post is my attempt to explain the "Tech Tip" in plain english. If you do this job usding the Tech Tip, you will save yourself a lot of time and (as explained in the pdf instructions) you will eliminate the risk of breaking the glass.
HERE IS THE THOUGHT PROCESS. The window glass is attached to a (fairly large) white piece of plastic, which is also known as the "guide plate." (At 4:40 in the video you can see a tiny bit of the white plastic guide plate through the hole in the metal window rail right next to the tip of his screwdriver.) The white plastic guide plate is attached to the metal window rail (aka "window regulator rail" in the pdf instructions). The metal window rail is attached to the big piece of sheet metal that covers the inside of the door (aka the "window regulator panel" in the pdf). Got it? The (1) window is attached to the (2) white plastic guide plate which is attached to the (3) metal window rail which is attached to the (4) sheet metal panel. The window (1) needs to be detached from the (4) sheet metal panel, and the way to do that is to detach the (2) white plastic guide plate from the (3) metal window rail. In other words, if you break the connection between (2) and (3), then (1) is no longer connected to (4).
HERE IS HOW TO DO IT. Go to 4:40 of the video. The tip of his screwdriver is resting Exactly on the left hand side of the metal window rail. Focus on where the tip of his screwdriver is. Have your friend push the window down about 4 inches and pull it up about 4 inches. Two white plastic fingers or hooks about the size of your smallest fingernail will slide up and down on the left side of the metal window rail and push the tip of that screwdriver (as pictured at 4:40 in the video) out of the way as they slide past. Get a big pair of pliers or channel locks or vise grips. Grab one of the plastic hooks and twist the pliers from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock and back to 3 o'clock until the hook breaks off. You can also pry it off with a big flat blade screwdriver. Now break off the other hook. The (2) white plastic guide plate is now detached from the (3) metal window rail, and you can get back to the rest of the job.
You get a new white plastic guide plate as part of the new regulator, so breaking the old one does not matter.
I tried doing this job without the shortcut. I pushed on the white plastic thru the hole in the metal window rail, and I just cracked the white plastic, but the window still would not come out. I was pushing so hard that I was afraid I was going to crack the glass. The Tech Tip shortcut was much quicker and safer.
Good Luck!
Thanks for watching my video John and WOW! Appreciate you taking the time to write all that out. I am going to include a link to that pdf here: www.dormanproducts.com/digitalassets/document/749-322_IS.PDF
I will have to point out some discrepancies in the pdf and it may be due to different years having different types of regulators. First, on step 8a they say to remove the screw. Then in step 17 it is still there (confusing). I don't agree with the step 12 timing. If you do it then, at the very least you will end up with shavings falling into your door. At the worst, you could drill into your window and possibly break it. Best to wait till the regulator is out as in my video. No reason to do step 13 (remove motor) if you can drive the glass up and down. Remove it when the regulator is off. Ditto with step 14b (remove the speaker). Do not agree with step 17 at all! On my 2006, with the screw out, you push the round plastic nub out of the window with the wide, flat screwdriver and then you can lift the window. Alternatively, you can remove all the bolts off the regulator and pull the top of it so you can see the plastic part that needs to be pulled out of the glass (using a long (preferably plastic) tool to pry it off enough to pull the glass up. DON"t agree with the TechTip at all! A lot of unnecessary work!
I do thank you for your extensive explanation. I hope that it will help people with a different year than mine. Best, The Sailor.
I figured it out just messing with it. Great video, it helped a lot.
Awesome!
I found a Dremel with a spiral cutting tool worked far better than any
kind of prying or pliers. I'd also add that working on the whole
assembly is a darn sight easier if you take the speaker off the
regulator to start with and leave it off until the very end. Watch
reassembling the window motor to the regulator or the whole damn shebang
will disappear inside the door and you'll have to purchase a new
regulator. By leaving out the speaker, you can hold on to the window
motor connector from the inside while screwing in the screws for the
motor.
Thanks! This tip worked like a champ, was also afraid of breaking the glass pushing too hard on the plastic. Took a little elbow grease but broke both clips and window detached easily. Then after getting the regulator off just popping the plastic guide off was a easy.
My problem is that the window is down. How can I get it up above the screw that I need to remove?
Thanks for watching! You have two choices. Reconnect the up/down switch and run it to the proper position or, take the motor off the regulator and pull/push the window to the proper position.

I am stumped on removing the glass from the regulator. I pushed and pushed on the window through the hole the screw came out. Even tried the suggestion from mgasman and nothing worked. I put everything back together and will have to just deal with the fact that there is an 8mm socket stuck somewhere in my door. :(
MrDruw900 Thanks for watching my video Mr. 900! Mgasman has the idea, but you don't want to apply any pressure; you could break the glass. It would help if you had an assistant to pull on the glass as you push the plastic through the window. What you have is the plastic (that you push on with the screwdriver) going through a hole in the window. When you get it pushed back enough, you can lift the window to tape it. Hope this helps?

Lsailer1,
I watched your excellent video on replacing the rear window regulator on a 2006 Hyundai Sonata however there is one comment that I have to make. The stock window regulator is different than the one Hyundai now sells. The original does not seem to have the dome shaped plastic piece that holds the window in place after you remove the Permatex screw. No matter how much you press in with a wide flat head screwdriver it won't release. I took out the speaker and tried to come in through the side but no matter what I did it would not release and I could not figure out what was holding the glass in place. I slid a thin knife through the front and back of the white plastic that holds the glass but it still wouldn't budge. Any suggestions.
Thanks,
Anthony C.
Thanks for watching my video! I bought my replacement thru Amazon and it worked fine. You might want to tell me your symptoms. Is the window stuck? Up or down? Sometimes you have to use the "brute force" method. Take the motor off (you need to check it to make sure it isn't the problem) and then take some wire cutters and cut the wire that runs the window up and down. The window will now be loose and you can raise it all the way up and tape it in place. With all the bolts off and everything else off of it (speaker, wires, etc.) you should now be able to get it off. Let me know how it goes. You may like my other videos.

@@Lsailor169699 Thank you for your speedy response to my problem - I do appreciate it. The problem that I have is detaching the glass from the regulator. I can manually slide the glass fully up and down but like I said I can't remove the glass from the regulator therefore I can't take out the old regulator and replace it with the new one that I bought. The Permatex bolt came out easily so I can't figure out what is keeping it in there. I slid a knife through the removed speaker hole between the glass and the regulator on the front and back of where it attaches to the white plastic but I still can't get it to budge. Spraying it with WD40 did not work either. The motor was replaced so this is not the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks again!
@@anthonychanatry7804 Behind that bolt is a plastic piece that goes thru the glass and is a hole. So what needs to happen is you need to push that plastic piece out of the regulator. With all the bolts out of the regulator (and the window up), you should be able to pull the regulator (at the top) toward you enough so you can see what I am talking about. Take a large, flat faced screw driver and push on that plastic so that it will pop out. You do have a 2006 Sonata? If not, this might not apply. Best, The Sailor.
@@Lsailor169699 My Sonata is a 2007 but I believe they are basically the same car. Maybe when I am pushing on the white dome shaped plastic piece the wide screwdriver that I am inserting is preventing (blocking) the glass from sliding out because it is going right through the hole in the glass? When you say to remove all the bolts out of the regulator I thought that only the one Permatex bolt is holding the glass in place. Is there more than this one? I was hoping that my removing the speaker and coming in through that large opening would allow me to try another way of separating the glass from the regulator? Any other ideas or suggestions?
@@anthonychanatry7804 Yes it should be the same. The bolts I am talking about start at 5:44 in the video. Once you get rid of all of them, the regulator should be loose and you can pull it toward you to see how the glass is connected to the regulator. Make sure that you have done this already: The window has a round hole in it where the bolt goes to hold it in. The flat faced screwdriver pushes the round, plastic holding part that keeps the window in. Just push on the part with the screwdriver and then you will be able to pull up on the window. Get a friend to pull on the window as you push in with a WIDE flat faced screwdriver. The screwdriver with goes into the opening, not past it to the front piece of plastic. Might want to review the comments section of my video for more hints. Best, The Sailor.
I couldn't remove the regulator after following these instructions. I looked around and saw some info saying you have to drill out the rivets in the upper left corner near the grommets holding the door and lock cables in place. Since you don't mention that in the video, are you saying you don't have to drill out these rivets? Also, I've removed all the bolts holding the regulator in place and have also removed the motor assembly, yet I still cannot remove the regulator. Any suggestions as to what might be preventing the regulator from being removed? It seems like something in the dead center to upper left corner of the regulator, but I can't figure out what it is.
Thanks for watching my video Derrick! The regulator can only be removed when the window is taped ALL THE WAY up. Have you done that? You do remove the "robot fingers" by drilling the rivets out once the regulator is removed, not before. Let me know and we can go from there. Best, The Sailor
Yes, the window is up. I'm changing the regulator because the window due to gravity alone. I slid it up with my hands and taped it up. However, I was not able to push the plastic through because the regulator motor is also malfunctioning, so I couldn't access the plastic to push it away from the regulator, but I can't imagine that's what's holding it in place. It really feels like the rivets are holding the regulator in place to me, but my wife says she can "see some white plastic still attached to the regulator" when she pries the regulator away from the door and peeks behind it. But since I'm pulling on the regulator pretty hard, I can't imagine it's plastic preventing me from removing it.
Ahhh! The problem is the window is still attached to the regulator by the plastic tab. Pull the regulator at the top and take a long, flat faced screwdriver and gently pry the tab from the hole in the window. That would be on the side facing the front of the car. Be gentle or you will break the window.
You were right. I ended up being able to push the window off. Thanks!
+Derrick Sonnier Glad it worked out for you! You might be able to get a new one off Amazon. Could you give me a thumbs up and subscribe? Appreciate it! Best, The Sailor.
So I have a 2008 Sonata and it's the right rear, but that should not matter, right? Well, maybe not because when I opened the port, there was no screw or white nylon plastic, only glass in that hole where I was expecting to find the screw. My window was all the way down and the screw associated with attaching the glass to the regulator was down beneath the access port. Fortunately there is another way, and if it is the motor that is the problem, you don't need to take the regulator mechanism out or disconnect the regulator from the glass.
Three bolts attach the motor to the inner door structure, and and then it will slide right off the coupling with the regulator mechanism. Then, to raise the window, a screwdriver held sideways in the drive will crank the window closed. Now it is a simple matter of test, replace or repair the motor.

At 7:29 you show the part but not the removal. I’m having this issue. I’ve gotten everything else done but can take away the old panel since this wire is running though it
Thanks for watching my video Paul! OK, the way to get the plug off, is to use a screwdriver to pry off the metal holding wire. It is pulled straight up and then the plug can be removed.

Lsailor1 No matter what I do to get this plug out, it just won't come out. Is there a way to be more detailed about this part?
Typical You Tube video....they usually don't show the hard part or what you really need.

hi
I have Sonata 2010, I tried to remove the regulator to replace the lock actuator , but I couldn't remove it. Can you do with the video how to remove it. the slide show is not very helpful.
Thanks
Thanks for watching my video mohammad! This is a video for the FRONT regulator and for a 2006 Sonata. It does show how to remove the lock actuator and maybe it will help. Best, The Sailor.

thanks for you reply.
I did all the steps, but the difficult part was to detach the glass window from the regulator, so I coudn't take it out.I'd better take it to an expert :)
Thanks anyway
If you look in the comments section of the video on the REAR regulator, you can see how people have gotten the window loose.
I can’t get the final wiring plug out. I don’t see what wire hold down there is. Any advice would be awesome!

my '06 Sonata just had the rear passenger door window come loose. I can move it up and down with my hand on the glass. The window regulator, when I push the switch seems to be working inside the door but the window does not move. The window actually slides down on its own(gravity) and I can pull it up with my hand. Any Ideas as to problem?Also, is your video suppose to have audio? If so I can not get that part to work. Other audio downloads and programs work fine.
+Anthony Barker Thanks for watching my video Anthony! No, my video deliberately has no audio so that people won't be distracted and can absorb the info I am putting out. As for the wndow problem, it sounds as if the screw that holds it is not there. Best to dive into it and see what is up. Might be the cable that drives it up and down has broken. A new regulator has that and Amazon has great prices on them. Let me know what it is when you find out. Best, The Sailor.
Remove all the bolts holding the regulator in. Remove the motor. Remove the handle. Pry the regulator open at the top and do whatever it takes to get the window loose and taped up. Remove regulator and get a new one. Hope this helps. Best, The Sailor.
Is your Sonata a 2006? My regulator (the entire silver panel and cables and hole for speaker) is bolted in. The only rivets hold the speaker in. I found the best price for a regulator on Amazon. Glad you got it out!
Awesome!
hmmm, no amount of prying in the world will seem to let me get that window loose from the regulator. Does anyone have a shot of this in action?
Thanks for watching my video K! If you go to the comments section of the video, you will see steps that other people took to get the window loose. The most important thing is to have a VERY wide, flat screwdriver to push the plastic plug out of the window. Best, The Sailor.
Thanks, I ended up getting it disconnect, but I have the wrong part and had to reorder. and I can't figure out how you would undo the hardware to remove thing. did you have to rivet everything back in?
Kalikoded . late I am. Just did one for a friend. thing is just a sandwich with a raised plastic center that sitting in a hole in the glass. Was a bitch pushing that center out of the glass with that small area to work with. while trying to pull glass from between wedge
Cheap car, driver side back n front door handles broke off
Thanks for watching my video and your comment! Must be since so many people have had problems with handles. You may like my other videos. Just type Lsailor1 in the CZcams search bar. Like them? Subscribe for the latest! Best, The Sailor.
