“Doesn’t matter if rivets get stuck in the panel….” Best advice of all. Twice I’ve worked on those f-ing rivets just to realize I’d wasted a bunch of time. My regulator panel was very hard to get out due to the vertical crash brace. You are the ONLY resource that discusses the issues I mentioned above. I should mention my car is 2009 Sonata. Nothing about the rear door regulator for my car that I could stomach watching. Nothing worse than someone who their self is lost trying to help me get un-lost. FYI, I haven’t found a window or regulator that cannot be moved small distances by hand, replacing the need to reconnect power to line it up. Additionally, the crossed control cables must be a Santa Fe thing. That did not come up on a Sonata. Again, big thanks for your clarity, staying on topic, and knowing the job. I appreciate your style.
Thanks for making this informative video. Just used it to replace the right rear regulator on my 2005 Santa Fe. Took me about 3 hours. Lots of brittle plastic parts to worry about. I might mention that the wiring harness is part of the door assembly and the regulator has to be unthreaded and re-threaded between the panels at the door. I also decided to leave the speaker out until after the new regulator was completely assembled and functional. It gave a large access hole to see how the window was fitting in the trolley.
Thanks! My sister-in-law was quoted over $600 for this job! I don't know the details yet but 'm sure it's for both the regulator and motor. I'd do it for her in a heartbeat but she's in MA, I'm in VA. For now she has it taped up until I get up there. Rock auto wants $170+ for the regulator and motor, or $115 regulator/$50 motor. Not sure what to get until I look at it, but this video will sure help when I get up there to do the job.
1:00 Half way through doing this on LR door and am not sure why speaker needed to come off. I don't plan to replace the metal delphi plate. (The back side of this plate has the vertical track the window slides on.) So the plate is connected to the window. Also, *why* does door latch need to be removed? Thanks
We got the new panel but the regulator cable spool was hanging loose and unwound. Any advice on how to approach winding it back up again? I didn't see any info on that. Thanks for the video!
@@PowerUpAuto Thanks for the advice. Although, this is the 3rd one we bought... Gonna give it a go to hopefully save us another headache waiting for the part.. haha. Happy Easter!
Question, is replacement of the full panel the only route to repair this, or can you find and swap just the motor and window track assembly? I have a 2012, and it looks pretty much identical to this. Great explanation of this repair, btw!
Need to do this with wife’s 09 Santa Fe. Window is all the way down. How can manually get my window to the position to loosen the regulator bolts. Thank you in advance. Your video is fantastic.
So I just heard a pop while I running the window down. Now the window can be pulled up but wont stay up it seems to have some friction just doesnt stay up the last inch. I can hear the motor in the down window position switch but I cant hear the motor on the up switch position. Is it possible the glass is still on the regulator but the motor is shot. I cant tell if its a motor or regulator issue. It looks to complicated for me to do the whole regulator I can handle a motor replace myself. Or maybe I can place glass back on that screw somehow if that fell off.
@@PowerUpAuto I just cut a small eraser into a wedge and squeezed it into window pane. Dont need to use that rear window anyway. This car is getting up there in age and have some other repairs coming like evap system that wont let gas into tank to deal with and low on cash.
Does the wires inside door and inside regulator cover piece you unbolt clip together or do wires have to be cut in order to get them thru the new regulator cover? Thanks Richard
Video is pretty clear. You need to remove the latch and outer handle to unhook the wires and pull them through the panel. NO, DO NOT cut any power wires.
I would do a web search for power window repair and the city you are in. Not sure where you went wrong but you may need an expert to resolve it. OR drive it down to Florida and I'm sure I can help with this. Scott
What’s easiest way to lock the window in the up position? Having this problem and honestly don’t feel like dealing with all this lol. Just want the window to stay up.
I'll give this a thumbs up for at least trying to make a decent video and giving a few good tips. However, this video could have so much better if someone else was running the camera so we could see all the little things done out of view.

We replace the speaker with self tapping screws
Thanks again for having this video up, just three weeks later and I now am referencing your video again to do the passenger side.
Great to hear!
Thank you! Just replaced my 2009 assembly. Best vid on youtube for this!

If you change the entire regulator you need to swap out the speaker
We got the new panel but the regulator cable spool was hanging loose and unwound. Any advice on how to approach winding it back up again? I didn't see any info on that. Thanks for the video!
I would return it and get one ready to install. Respooling is a challenge
@@PowerUpAuto Thanks for the advice. Although, this is the 3rd one we bought... Gonna give it a go to hopefully save us another headache waiting for the part.. haha. Happy Easter!
Actually got it done. Took a little doing but just finished it up. Thanks again for the great video and quick response! Cheers!

Did you find a way to do this? Im having the same issue

Your regulator broke. You could probably just lock thew window up but to fix it you'll need to follow the steps in the video

No it is not clear! Not even shown. We are supposed to "figure it out" ourselves. Not very helpful
What do i do if after all this the door stays locked and the inside and outside handles dont open it.

Great video! It is very detailed. I can do this install myself. Thanks for sharing.
Where can I get the regulator panel? I can fnd one anywhere.
Right (Passenger) Rear available from Hyundai part # 834812B000 $520. I can probably get you a used one for $280 delivered but final sale.
Very informative video thanks I’m sure will help need to do mine 11’ Hyundai Santa Fe looks similar
2011 here and mine just went
Glad it helped
Has anyone done a video of replacing that rear window!!!
Same basic concept as the front. I don't have one though
Quick question, how can you deal with the window supporters?
Not sure what you refer to
What’s easiest way to lock the window in the up position? Having this problem and honestly don’t feel like dealing with all this lol. Just want the window to stay up.
Get a piece of wood and cut it to jam window all the way up. You’ll have to pull the motor to loosen the window.
Thank you for sharing. Very helpful for me.
Where are you located? I am in Oviedo and have a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with a left rear door actuator problem.
Did you ever get your window fixed?
@@DesignBuildFixReview Not yet. Both rear doors need the door lock actuators replaced. One is weak, one is non functioning.
@@rhyoliteaquacade I found the part, I just dont want to deal with door handle.
Good job! Does the motor come with the regular and what was the cost?
Motor is fine. You can find these on Amazon, Ebay or at your local Hyundai dealer.
TampaBay. Do you have any friends or family in Tampa?
Thank you!

Would be nice if I could have an assistant, but its just me.
Florida guy from Massachusetts?
From Salem, MA. I married a Witch (who still looks great in her witch costume). . 40 years here in the Free State of Florida. Best move ever.
Awesome thanks
thank you
Thanks!
Welcome!
Not showing what was wrong with the part changed out is a big disappointment
The regulator broke. If you hear a crunching grinding sound that's the problem.
Only 1 screw, panel out .terrible.
Having a problem with this?
