In this video we're going to show you how to replace the front power window regulator on this 2003 Buick LeSabre. Same as many GM full-size front-wheel drive cars, Bonneville, LeSabre, Park Avenue. Tools you will need are flat, Phillips screw drivers, as well as a 10mm socket and ratchet, and also a door panel clip tool or a putty knife.
You start with the flat plate screwdriver and this panel actually pulls, carefully, pry a little bit, up and out. Then there's a little wire for your speaker. Pry on the side where you can see the tab. Take the speaker lead up, okay, here pry at the front very lightly, pull that out, like that, and then again this little tab right here, pry that up, pull it out. Try not to drop that and then back here on your reflector, just going to pull in there and pry it out. Now inside the door, there are two screws, one there and one right there.
I'll just fast forward through removing those screws. They are Phillips screws. Use a putty knife or a door panel clip tool or whatever you might have, grab hold, use your foot a little bit. Give the door panel a good yank there. It comes up and off. Here there's a master switch. You pull out on a couple of tabs, so you pull out on these tabs and that rotates down so it comes out, and there's your door panel out. Pull our water shield back carefully. What I've done here is just to remove my harness from my door panel, plug it back in here. My regulator and window motor are fine, but most likely what you're going to see right here is you loosen this bolt, which undoes this pinch and you can slide the window up. If your regulator is broken, which happens most often with these cars, you'll be able to just slide your window up and down by hand to get to these. Actually, the best location is to bring your window all the way up, and you can access one of them right through here. Pull this little access plug off, and you can access the other one right through there. With the window all the way up, you can see there's one of them there and there's the other one there. You've just got to kind of push that cable out of the way. Right here is your window motor, the lead, just push down on this gray tab, shelve the screwdriver, and disconnect it.
Here with the window in the up position, I'm loosening those bolts that hold those pinch clamps that hold the regulator and the window together. I have my window motor unhooked from my regulator, which would be like having a broken regulator, and you can see I slide the window down, slide the regulator apart from the window and slide the window back up. Secure the window with a little bit of painter's tape to keep it from sliding down unexpectedly. A new regulator from 1A Auto, old regulator, you can see the new regulator from 1A Auto is exactly the same. It's going to bolt in and function and everything the exact same. The only minor difference is that it has a little bit of a lead on the window motor. I am going to re-install the original because on this vehicle the original is working fine and I don't believe in wasting a good part. Regulator in now you want to get this stud in place first.
Make sure that your regulator goes inside your window. Make sure that this part of your regulator goes inside your window. You can feel your glass here and we'll take it down. I'm just going to fast forward as I start those 10mm nuts, and then use my socket and ratchet to tighten them up. You want to tighten them up firm but not overly tight. Now I'm just taking the painter's tape off here. Slide the window down slowly, make sure it comes into our clips there and then what we can do is turn our key back on, run the window up in place, and then I'll tighten up our clamps. You want them to be firm. They don't have to be extremely tight. That's done. The window is going up and down nicely. Button our door back up here. Just to keep this video somewhat brief, I'm going to fast-forward through putting the door panel back on. If you want to see this part of the video in regular speed, just check out our other videos for door panel removal and replacement for the Buick LeSabre.

In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and replace the rear window regulator on this 2003 Buick LeSabre. Common problem, the cable in these regulators break. The tools you'll need are a Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers, a putty knife or door panel clip tool, and a 10-mm socket with a ratchet and extension. Take a regular screwdriver, gently pry out, hands under. Pull that trim panel right out. There's a little Phillips screwdriver right here. Remove that screw. Now, you're going to use a putty knife or a door panel clip tool. Work it under. Really pull quick and firm. It comes up and off. Then, in behind here, there's a little lead. The lead is clipped on here. I just unclipped it. Press down that. Take it off.
Speed it up here as you carefully pull back your water shield, and then, there's that Styrofoam block. Use some pliers to pull the pins out and then remove it. I actually ended up breaking it accidentally. There's two bolts that hold clamps to your window, and when the window is all the way up, you can see them right there and there, and what commonly happens on these is the cable snaps. When the cable snaps, you can still pull your window up and down, and that's basically what you want to do. You want to pull your window as far as up as you can so you can get to those two bolts. A 10 mm and an extension. We'll fast forward as I just loosen those bolts up some. At this point here, you would push your window down and then pull it back up free of those clamps. I'm going to replug in my switch here. You can see my window goes down, and those clamps should be loose enough to pull my window up out of the way. Take, use a little painters tape just to kind of hold the window in place. Just taping it to the top of the door frame.
We're going to remove this module here. Really just make it easier to get in there and disconnect the window motor. I'm going to speed it up as I disconnect and then pull the water shield back further. You can see right in here, and our window motor connection and we basically just want to push down on this tab and pull it out. Take a regular screwdriver, and basically, I just kind of worked it in the back here, pried up a little bit, pulled back. Now, remove this nut. I'll speed it up here once again as I just remove the three 10-mm nuts that hold the regulator to the door. Now, I'm going to take the regulator because I want it back like that. It comes out. It should ... kind of come out like that. Here's my original regulator. New regulator from 1A Auto. You can see the new one from 1A Auto is all the same. It's going to bolt in, plug in the same. Just has a little bit shipping tabs on the studs here to just protect it. Only minor difference is that the window motor has a little lead on it rather than a plug on the motor. That actually makes it a little bit easier. This one's working fine in my car, so never one to waste a part.
Put it back in here. I'm going to start with it upside down. Drop it in and down. Eventually, it goes in after contorting it. Pick the back up like that. You need to make sure that the top goes on the inside of your window and guide this stud up and in to there, and the rest of the regulator like that. Start our 10-mm nuts. A little bit of fast forward as we start those nuts and then tighten them up with our ratchet and socket. When you tighten them, you don't have to get them extremely tight. They need to be nice and firm, but you don't want to over tighten them. Take our lead, plug that in. Remove our tape. Slowly bring the window down and get contact into the clamps. With the key on, reconnect our switch. Run it all the way up. Right in here. Tighten these up nice and firm.
It goes up and down, no problem. We use a little bit of white duct tape to put our block back together. Put that back in. Also bolt that module back in. I forgot to film that, so bolt that module back in. Put your shield back on, and then, you're ready to put the door panel back on. Switch back on here. Reconnect this lead. Again, it clips right up here. Now, there's a metal strip along here. You need to make sure it clips in to this channel up here, and it's, usually start out pushing it against ... Make sure you're okay, tabs go in. Carefully put your screw in.
