Removal and Installation

NOTE: The LF window motor must be de-initialized, then initialized whenever the window motor is removed from the window regulator drum housing, a new window regulator is installed, a new window glass is installed, a new top run is installed or for any operation in which grease or lubricants are applied to the window regulator or glass run.

1. Remove the window control switch. For additional information, refer to Window Control Switch in this section.

2. Remove the front door speaker. Refer to the appropriate section in Group 415 for the procedure.

3. Position aside the water shield.

4. Remove the interior door glass weatherstrip.

5. Temporarily install the window control switch and lower the window glass to access the glass-to-regulator clamp locking tabs.

6. Using a suitable tool, push each glass-to-regulator clamp locking tab inward then gently lift the glass upward slightly to release the glass from the regulator clamp.
   • To install, gently push glass down into the clamps until an audible click is heard, indicating the glass has seated correctly into the glass clamps.
