In this video we're going to show you how to replace the inside door handle on this 2005 Explorer Sport Trac. Same as any '01 to '05. The tools you'll need for this project are a small set of metric sockets, small flat blade screwdriver, a putty knife and rag to protect your paint, and a drill with a 3/8 drill bit. The original regulator is riveted to the door so you'll have to drill out rivets and replace them with bolts. The most difficult part of doing this is removing the door panel. We're fast-forwarding through that. If you want to see this in regular motion or regular time, it is in our other videos. Just search our other videos. We'll get through the door panel, pulling the door panel off. You can probably get enough just from watching. It's removing a couple of panels and then removing four bolts and then prying off some pins.
Again, you can see it in our other videos. Really in this video, we don't really show you removing the regulator because again, as I said, it's riveted to the door panel. We didn't want to take the truck apart we had, but we do show you how to get to it and what to do. If you want to replace your window regulator, I'm not going to do it on this truck because there's nothing wrong with it and the regulator is riveted in three places. You take about a 3/8 drill, drill out these rivets. Tape your window up with some painter's tape. Remove this last bolt and then remove these two bolts, and you slide the window regulator out of the window channel and pull it out through this hole. Like I said, the original ones are riveted in, so I'm not going to drill this truck because there's nothing wrong with it. You need to go to the hardware store and get three nuts and bolts to replace those rivets unless you have a large rivet gun.
We hope this helps you out. Brought you to by www.1AAuto.com. We are your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.
