One of the common issues with a Fiat 500 is that the window regulator breaks and needs to be replaced. In this video I go over the process of removing and installing a new window regulator assembly on my FIAT 500 Abarth. The process is simple and should take more than 10-15 minutes from the removal to putting the door back together. I decided not to replace the motor and used the original motor that came on the window regulator assembly and swapped it into the new piece I ordered.

The passenger side finely broke after a million trips up n down. Only took 10 years. Anyway, thank you for showing how it's done.
Dude, you just saved me a ton of $$$$. Huge thanks
I had the same exact issue, the white plastic carrier snapped. You would think they would use something a little stronger
Thanks for the tip; got my replacement regulator off of ebay and I managed to install it easily; albeit, with a little help from my wife. Just an added tip; use a box cutter to cut along the inside door punchouts behind the foam of the door; use your finger to locate the cutouts and this makes for taping a much cleaner and easier process at the end. Also, be sure to place the door panel first over the top inserts before snapping the panel back in. If you snap the side or lowers in first, the top will not set properly into the top notches or support... I didn't know this and had to remove and then re-attach the panel in properly -- top side first into the hangers, then snap the sides and bottom -- easy-peazy.
Wire came out of pulley. Now trying to figure out to get it rolled up perfect and having trouble. Anyone reading this, just try to put the motor on without getting the cables undone. Lol
Helped me! There had been a rattle w my window open from inside the door. It wasn't the window itself but it WAS from the regulator being loose on its mount. Also: you can remove the sound proofing foam sheeting without tearing it, by using a letter opener and running it along the glue joint that mounts it onto the door frame.
I followed these instructions exactly and the plastic snapped instantly when I tried to roll it down. I don’t see what I did wrong. Everything was seated perfectly and the same as your instructions
Thank you! Didn't know if I should get the w/o the motor regulator. My motor is still good. W/O motor it is.
So, so, helpful... The straightforward way he explained and showed how to do the repair step by step is excellent!
I am not handy in anything manual related to mechanics or auto related. Saw this video and inspired the courage to order the replacement to do it myself. Followed your instructions step by step and boom.. It worked! Thanks for sharing.. 🙌🏼👍🏼
Thanks to your video I was able to replace the Window Regulator, my father was giving me grief that I would not have been capable to do it and I would not have found the part, but thanks to your video I went to a local parts seller and found the part after that I proceeded to replace it and now it's working like nothing ever happened. For this again I thank you, you saved me from 2 things.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I was able to buy the part online from Amazon for around $30 and replaced it myself. The car dealership in my area quoted me $650 as a minimum fee.
Thanks for the video it gave me the confidence to go ahead the regulator I got looked totally different and belonged to a cincecento... Only 2 mountain bolts and a plastic Dowel located in the bottom of the window to move it up-and-down.... worked a treat.
I just finished replacing my window regulator using the instructions in this video. It was a breeze. I've replaced window motors in the past and it was never fun. The Fiat 500 takes the frustration out of it. I own a 2015 Fiat 500e. Thanks for the good video.
This was a great tutorial. I ended up buying the whole window regulator, motor and all, so had to skip some of the part where he swapped the motor to the new piece. The only thing I got hung up on (having never replaced something like this before) was getting the notch in the window glass to line up with the knob on the plastic piece. You want to make sure they hit right so your window will roll up AND down. Mine did not get lined up right. I had two other people try to help me with it and the key was snugging your window up (rolling it all the way up) once it is seated right in the plastic piece, and then rocking that plastic knob towards the hole until it clicks into the hole in the glass. It is close to impossible to do when it is rolled farther down because there is not enough downward force pushing the glass into the plastic piece. I hope what I am saying makes sense.
Thank you for this video! I changed my window regulator today and everything works perfectly
Great video. I replaced mine yesterday. Took 30 minutes on the driver side! Works like new. Thanks!
Thank you so much! This video was great I ordered the same part from amazon for $34 swapped my motor the same way and was back in business!
Excellent its amazing how the cables came lose on my door and wrapped around the main pulley without breaking the glass great work easy repair! A+ Thank you
Thank you so much for doing these videos. The shop quoted me $400.
