Thanks brother, I have changed them before but forgot which roller to install first. 1983 C10 with 350 V8 & TH400 trans..Best truck I've ever owned. Cheap to fix and easy to work on. 👌👍👍
Thank you for this great video. I missed watching the very end of the video where you hook it up and move it up or down to make the bolts line up! I figured it out the hard way.
Looks great Jay. I was nervous when I replaced the ones on our 94. I will usually run a bolt through the two pieces if possible. I don't like working on anything that has a spring. lol
@@farmboysgarage7595 I got the motor out without taking out the whole mechanism. But the speaker hole I accessed it through is custom - it's down where there carpet panel is beside the door vent. Not easy to get at but still glad I didn't have to unbolt everything.
Great video; btw, how did you know the motor was the issue? Is the sound that was making mean the motor is bad? Not the glass getting stuck on the way down.
Yeh that felt gets stiff over time. Hey when you showed the video on regulator removal on a Silverado didn't also have a video on window motor removal & replace? Or was that some other channel?
By the looks of it, I can get at those three mounting bolts through the speaker hole. I can get at two for sure but was hesitant to go at the third. You think if I pull the regulator out without removing the entire mechanism the spring will unload and the window will drop? Also, I can get at the plug without removing the regulator - I tried it on the new motor.
If you jam the window in place and leave the regulator bolted to the door, it will not move. That said, it's pretty easy getting the regulator out with the window in the up position.
Hi! How did you remove the electric window roller thingys ? I am clueless 😣 I just picked up a 1971 Chevy that my dad gave me . We were suppose to fix it together but he passed away. Now I’m trying to do these little “simple things “ just to get started but I can’t figure out how to remove the square thing for the window. I have the door panel hanging from it . 😣 someone help 😣
They are pretty easy to change once you get the door panel off. Just be careful disconnecting the wiring harness from the switch. I use a flat-head screw driver to separate the wiring from the switch but don't touch the ground prong! (this is the long prong that sticks through the wiring harness) There are two small clips on the side of the switch that hold it in place in the door panel.
I don't even have it out and you already missed a few steps like unbolt the interior latch and how to unplug the motor. Going to find a how to video that actually shows you how to.
Used your video to help me switch out the window motor in my '86 C10. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped!

I'm getting ready to replace both window motors on my 85 this video sure helps me know where to start thanks for sharing
Good luck!
I appreciate the video, I’m about ready to attempt the same procedure on my 87 GMC. This video has given me a great overview. Thanks
Thanks Buck! Good luck!

your stick trick in the window honestly helped me a ton.
Glad it helped Justin!
I remember the first time I pulled a window regulator out of a Chevy truck. I am glad I had all my fingers after that :)
Haha, if you aren't expecting it, it'll scare the p out of ya ;)
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Helped me out, a bunch.

Thanks Russ! It'll scare the crap out of you when they spring!
Those square body trucks are getting popular. Keeping them fixed p might turn into some cash one day.
Yes, they are!
I was mesmerized by his accent
This was very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Ryan!

First thang !! You gotsss to do is ... take that thing Magigg ...😂😂😂
Nice fix Jay!
Thanks Jeff! I sure am happy I didn't have to pull the window out ;)
Man, I need to do this to 76 chevy caprice. Thankz for the advice
Glad I could help!
Having trouble lining up the bolts when putting the assembly back in. Any tips?
Nice job. Looked like the window regulator was in a little bind but I guess it wasn't.
Thanks Joe! I think it's a combo of a cheap motor and bad felt ;)
Yeh that felt gets stiff over time. Hey when you showed the video on regulator removal on a Silverado didn't also have a video on window motor removal & replace? Or was that some other channel?
Yes, I had to remove it to replace the window motor. I think I showed that too.
I was trying to spot the part number on that box.
Very nice presentation! What kind of lube did you use on the tracks and wheels? Also, did the window go up faster when you started the engine? Thanks
I used a silicone grease and yes, they do move faster with higher voltage.

Where did you buy that motor from
Have you tried wax

Don’t think the pre-73 and 73-87 are the same. I don’t have any experience with pre-73 trucks. Sorry.
THANKS
You're welcome!
Can you make a quick video on how to replace those gm square window switches.
