Last night, a little after midnight, I finished replacing a power window regulator in my wive’s mini-van. I’ve done motors before, but not the regulator. I expected the job to come with a few obstacles to overcome and I wasn’t disappointed. I’d like to know how they connect the lock rods and lock actuator in manufacturing – what a pain. It also took some time and effort to get the window properly seated in the regulator guides, but I think that might have been an issue with the aftermarket regulator that I bought.

The reason why I do this is cost – my cost was $70. The last time I had one repaired by a shop, it was over $400.
