HI guys

I've just done a tutorial on how to replace the regulator in the window. For those that don't know what i'm talking about. Its the thing attached to the motor that pulls the window up and down. So if any of you guys haven't got one thats working. I hope this helps

Cheers

How to replace a broken window regulator in an A31 Cefiro?

One day I was driving along with the window down, and when it came time to wind it back up, nothing happened. So I listened to the motor, it was working. All I could hear was a grinding, crackling noise, time to inspect. The door in question was the front passenger.

1. Remove Door Trim

a. Undo screws (red arrows)

b. Unclip door trim and remove

2. Remove plastic

a. Undo bolts (red arrows)

b. Remove handle and speaker

c. Remove plastic being careful not to rip it

3. Lower regulator to expose the bolts holding the glass

a. For some reason I could just pull in down (this is because the regulator cable was broken, as I found out later)

b. Undo the two bolts (red arrows)

c. Remove glass from door by sliding it up

4. Remove regulator from door

a. undo the seven bolts (red arrows)

b. the regulator will drop to the bottom

c. Unclip the wire that runs to the motor

d. pick it up and remove it from the large hole

5. The fault has been found. The cable is broken (on right). I bought a new one from Nissan ($150) and had to wait 6 weeks. (on left)

6. Remove motor from broken regulator

a. There are three screws holding the motor to the regulator

b. These are on very tight, so get a tight grip on your screw driver (I swore a few times)

7. Move glass holder on new regulator to the same position on the broken one

a. This saves trouble later on

b. Use a big flat head screwdriver to do this (pic below)

c. Then install the motor onto the new regulator.

8. Install new regulator into the door.

a. Installation is the reverse of removal.
