Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.

In this video we're going to show you how to replace the rear window regulator on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500, same process on the GMC Sierras, as well, from the years 2008 to 2012, and the only tools you'll need for this are a 10mm socket and ratchet and a flat blade screwdriver.

Start off by just prying off these upper panels; you just grip behind them and pull out. Now, using a flat blade screwdriver, pry out this small panel behind your door handle, then pry up your window switch, and just push the tab on the harness and pull it free. Then, pry up this panel underneath your pull handle. Now, you want to remove these three 10mm bolts. Now, we'll fast forward as Mike does this. Now, pull out on the door panel to release the clips, and then pull your door handle cable up and then move it forward and pull the ball out of the door handle. Now, we're fast forwarding here, but you want to very carefully remove that water shield.

Disconnect your power window motor; just press the tab, and pull out. Before you do anything else, tape up your window. Now you want to loosen these two 10mm bolts, remove that one, remove that one, and remove these two nuts, and we'll just fast forward as he does that. Once you've done that, push the window regulator back, and then put it down inside the door. You want to remove the tape from your window; put some pressure on it, and remove that weather strip, and then slowly and carefully slide the window down into the door, holding the window regulator away so that it doesn't scrape the window. You can lift that regulator up very carefully, making sure you don't scrape the window, and pull it out of the door.

The old window regulator is in the front, with the new window regulator from 1A Auto in the back. You can see they have all the same mounting points, they're identical; they'll fit exactly the same way. Now, you can feed your window regulator up into the door; we're just going to use our old one, because there's nothing wrong with it, and you want to carefully take your window and line it up into the right slots and slowly push it back up into place. Once you've done that, put the weather strip back on. Now, you can replace that top bolt on the window regulator, and then you can hang it with that and push the studs through on the bottom. Then, you want to replace those two nuts and that other bolt, and we'll continue to fast forward, as he tightens all those up. Then you want to reconnect your window motor and reinstall that water shield.

Take your door handle cable and push the ball back into the door handle, and then pull it back and around and then push that clip back down in. Now, you want to put these two hooks into these two holes. So you just clip those hooks on first; then angle the door panel up and lift it just a little bit, and then push those clips directly in. Once you're sure it's lined up, just go around and hit all the clips in to activate them. We'll fast forward as Mike replaces those bolts, first by hand and then tightens them up with the socket and ratchet. Now reconnect your window switch; just push the harness into place, and then push the panel straight down. Then replace the small panel behind your door handle and then that small panel underneath your pull handle. Then line up the tabs on these panels and just push them directly back into place, and you're all set.
