Removal

2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Remove door trim panel and watershield. Doors
4. Disconnect window motor connector.
5. Position the motor wiring harness out of the way. Using a 19mm (3/4 inch) hole saw with a 1/4-inch pilot, drill three holes at the existing drill dimples located on the door inner panel adjacent to the motor.

CAUTION: Prior to motor removal, ensure that the regulator arm is in a fixed position to prevent counterbalance spring unwind.

Installation

NOTE: Appropriate plug buttons may be installed to cover the exposed hole at the trim panel edge, if necessary.

5. Check the drain holes at the bottom of the doors to ensure that each is open to prevent water buildup over the motor.
