its great that you literally skip over removing the carrier, the hardest part and exactly what I needed to see. lol
I like how he left in the mistakes like removing those fake bolts and how he pried up on that plastic retainer and started to crack it. Its like I'm watching my future self attempt this shortly. Hopefully the mistakes made here will help me avoid them myself. Thanks for leaving those parts in the video, your lessons learned, will hopefully teach me what to be careful of. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much. Had to change the door lock cable from my Jeep JKU. This video helped out a lot.
Extremely helpful video. You helped me take my 2015 JK door apart which enabled me to repair the presenter latch.
What's not included is the challenge of removing the black panel where you cut out the bottom holes, press tabs, roll window up, tape up the window so the window disconnects from the panel so it can be removed.
Good video, I just wanted to let you know that you can save some time next time. The Allen head bolts do not have to be removed, they are only for show. That panel is just held in by clips.
I was going to say yhe same thing
Hi Carlos, Thanks for posting this. I'm considering installing aftermarket actuators on my Jeep Wrangler and your tips are very helpful in removing the panels and securing the widow.
Thank you for watching. Glad I could help.
Thanks fO dA vid!!!;)
Why did you skip the part of pulling the inner panel off?? I'm having issues there are two bolts that are fitted into the plastic
Carlos, just wanted to say thank you for the video. Your trick for getting the window handle off with a rag/towel...old shirt (what I used! lol) worked amazingly well. No special tool just some ingenuity, you are the man. Just note for others that use this method, that little clip usually pops out the other side of your handle with some force so be ready for that. I had search my garage floor for a bit for one of them. Maybe throw a bucket under the door or something to catch the clip just in case.
Great Tip. That happened to me quite a few times. I even bought extras because I would lose them so often. Bucket is simple and genius. Now if we could just make sure it lands in there. lol.
Nice video. Wondering why you don’t show The second panel coming off? Window separate form Inside panel?
Thanks man this really helped my company out. We had to wrap a jeep wrangler 2016 model and couldn't figure out on how to remove the window from the black panel !
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Joery Van Ossel was that the hardest part of wrapping the jeep im trying to wrap my jk
I got excited I thought there might actually be a use for a t27
Do you know if the secondary panel that holds the window comes off the same on a 2009 4 door wrangler passenger rear door? My electric lock doesn't work and I need to get that second panel off to get to the actuator in order to diagnose the problem. The electronic window controls still work and I can engage and disengage the lock manually on the inside door handle.
Carlos's thank you for posting video. Im having issue my 2017 jeep unlimited. The drivers side door keeps locking on me when key is in the ignition. So if i step out with key off but in the ignition the drivers side door keeps locking. To a point im always opening window on that door so i dont lock myself out. Its only happing to that door. I could walk around to other side and that's unlocked. The dealer is telling me its the inner door handel. Both inner and outer seem fine open and close using handels no issue. Just constantly locking on drivers side only. I cant picture what dealer is telling me. That its the inner door handel is broken. I feel more electrical that keeps locking it, or an actuator. Any thoughts on this, need help
Hello , i have a question, do you think the front actuators work for the rea doors on a jeep jku? They look identical with the only thing changing is the little plastic circle at the bottom that is for child locks . Thanks
You didn’t show the most difficult part. Remake the video taking out the inner door panel attached to the track and glass.
Yes the glass removal was the main reason I was looking for a video. I think I can figure it out with what he did explain, but not even the Service Manual clearly explains how to perform the unclipping of that glass.
I made my own video I winged it and I got it done.
Thanks! Getting the clip off the window is the worst part !
By far...
thats where ive been struggling to the window glass
@@EducatedGreaseMonkey How did you get them off! I'm in the jam now. Thx
Thanks for the video, I have to switch out the same latch on my 2012 JK Unlimited. The problem I am running into is getting the door open. I took the panel off as far down as I could from the inside. I detached the cables from the interior handle and tried giving the grey one a good pull but the door wouldn't budge. Any suggestions on how to get the latch to disengage from the inside?
if the cable doesn't open it, then it could be broken at the latch or disconnected. Go to the latch directly and try pulling on the lever. You may need a screw driver or something to accomplish that.
great video...my door wont opoen from the outside but does from the inside. Sooo, I suspect something is malfunctioning with the lock actuator. I have to do this exact job.
Did it work? My door isn't opening from the outside
Hey Carlos, did just replacing the actuator solve the issue as far as the racketing noise? If the plastic piece is broken how do you fix that? What’s the part number? This video was so helpful and I was so stoked and then I was like ‘dammit’ once I realized there was another part that was the issue. I have a 2011 JKU Sahara.
Carlos I have a 2011 2 door 6 speed with automatic windows - in this video was the door not locking manually or it wasn't locking when the lock button on the key was pressed ?? The problem I'm having is my keep locks manually but doesn't lock when the lock button is pressed from the key was told it may be the actuator......any thoughts ??
Specialist did you ever figure out the problem with your power locks not opening or closing your door locks but they do work manually?
What were the wires going to? Power locks? I was told by the dealer it was manual locks on my 2011 wrangler. Unlimited sport. (I bought it used) but there are wires? I’m trying to figure out what they go to?!
You don't have to unscrew the largest Allen bolts on the handle panel. It just pops off
How do you I get to the clips that hold the window? I'm stuck trying to get the inner panel off. The video skips right to it being off. I have a '08 looks very similar.
same thing I'm wondering skip the most hardest part smh
@@klydesign Now I'm stuck! Did you ever figure out how to get the clips off? Losing my mind over here!! Thx
You literally skip the only part im stuck on. That inner panel does not slide off.
Thanks for the video. But you literally skipped the part I came here for
For those having trouble removing the actual black panel I found a CZcams video that helps specifically with that part:
czcams.com/video/hrtnb_33avM/video.html
Why do all the car makers use such brittle plastic that breaks so easily? Those cables are a weak link in the design. The ends break off.
you skipped the part most needed num nuts
You're an ass 🤦
