Installation
- Disconnect the vehicle battery to prevent electrical shorts.
- Carefully remove the interior door card (trim panel), taking care not to break plastic clips.
- Unscrew the window glass from the existing regulator assembly.
- Remove the old regulator and transfer your existing electric motor to the new D2P unit.
- Install the new assembly, re-secure the glass, and test the operation before replacing the door trim.
Care
To extend the life of your new regulator, keep the window tracks free of debris and occasionally apply a silicone-based lubricant to the guide rails to reduce friction during operation.
