After watching your video, I just literately finished installing the regulator and the motor on my 2009 Honda Element. I'm moving to Thailand and my car is for sale and suddenly the window stopped working. I searched on TH-cam for how to replace it and found the video. This was a great, great explanation of how to do this. I had trouble removing one of the small corner panel driver side but other than that, it was pretty easy to replace the part. Thank you!
I traveled in many Southeast Asian countries and Thailand is the best on everything I needed. Transportation, food, healthcare, and safety are wonderful. You have the option to live on a low budget or have an expensive lifestyle.
This video is GREAT!! I made it all the way through the project but had a little trouble with the door panel & seating it properly at the end. DIYers...the soft stuff at the window track has to go on the inside of the metal frame to protect the window as it slides up or down. Metal on glass = no bueno. Pay special attention to moving the regulator to the right spot to attach window. We used T-Rex tape for lots of stuff.
Just finished thank you. My hubby took in the left window for repair when I heard it pop. They charged $164.20 for the part, labor was $191.63 and who comes up with these numbers not even round up, pennies count! Total was $364.53. Then the other window popped. So I found your video. I paid $65 for the regulator, probably could have found it cheaper, followed your video and got it done in half a day. Now I’ve got money for new speakers.
That window regulator power cord clip, does u hv all that yellow goo inside the clip. Mine had all that inside it. Is that normal, the goo stuff? U can remove the door power switch part off the door. 😉
For the "black stuff" try Home Depot "Butyl Rubber Sealant Tape" 1/4" x 3/16" X 40'. $5.00 a roll. Used for metal wall & roof systems. Dark gray. Worked fine for me.
Great detailed video! Have done 3 so far (2 different Honda Elements) I'm a 69 year old lady and even the car guru guys in the neighborhood say they've never attempted it. I get all parts from APDTY
Thank you all very much. I don't know how you guy's do it but I know everyone has to get the help they need and should let you all know that we appreciate your support and help. Have a great and blessed holiday.
Second time needing this. This time the passenger side window broke. $30 to get a new motor and did it myself. I can’t believe how much money I wasted last year trying to get a shop to basically just oder the part for me.
I changed my R side regulator 2 1/2 years ago with the help of your video.Very easy. Only misplaced one part-the small black cover for the door handle. Thursday the R side went out. Found your video today(refresher course). Interesting that the part was within a couple dollars of the price 2 1/2 years ago from Amazon. I thank Amazon and I especially thank you.
Thank you!!!! You saved me a little over a hundred bucks on replacement. Unfortunately I got too frantic and tried to get the repair done by a mechanic the day my window motor broke. The new motor arrived at the auto shop the next day but by then I watched this video and went ahead and did it myself. I paid for the motor through them as a third party plus they charged me 30 minutes labor for just confirming the window wouldn’t close! They didn’t even open up the door panel or anything!!! $200+ when I could have just watched this video and ordered a $60-70 motor myself. Lesson learned. It was so easy too. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. My window fell down today while it was drizzling so I went to buy the part and used your video as a guide. Great instructions thank you for not leaving out any steps or information like some people do!
your video Thanks for the clear and detailed instructions for replacing the power window assembly. Your demonstration makes me feel that I can tackle this job myself and not have to spend the money to have a mechanic do this for me. Thanks for sharing this video.
Absolutely an excellent video. The instructions were very clear and well presented. I followed the video and no problems at all. I fixed my window and saved a lot of money doing it myself. Thank you for an excellent video.
If for some reason the passenger side window does not go up or down, before you start taking things apart, make sure that the passenger window lock-out which is located on the driver side switch cluster is not engaged.
Great video! At least 5 stars. I am pure amateur at car mechanics. Driver window was down when it stopped working on Saturday night and needed the 2003 Honda Element on Monday. Found this video online and decided to try replacement. Got the driver regulator and motor assembly at one of the local parts store. Followed video and it went fairly easy. Instructions and views were spot on.
Watched your video. Very helpful. Every thing was just like the video. My element was even the same color. As a note this was the first time I ever attempted to replace a window motor. Thank you.
This video is great. Thank you so much for doing this. I like that you keep the “umm not sure what’s wrong here” moments in there. Because all us amateurs run into that. I used this video for the drivers side 2 years ago and cracked on of the plastic covers on the back side of the window. Took me 4 hours. 2 years later, passenger side, no breaks snd less than an hour. Couldn’t have done it without your awesome directions!!!!!
Great video! Very helpful and easy to follow. However, when I put it back together, the auto up and down don't work. What could be the cause of that? All the wires are hooked up correctly from what I can tell
You have to recalibrate the auto feature. With the car running hold the roll down button for about 5 seconds after its reached the bottom, then roll up the window and hold the button up for about 5 seconds after its at the top. Should work fine after that.
You left out to check all of the switches as well to ensure everything is working properly it should always be done before you screw down anything just to be sure otherwise you'll be taking it all apart again
Excellent instructional video. I am a total klutz and I was able to do this myself The Honda dealer wuoted me 155.00 for the part and 300.00 for the installation. I bought it on line for 55.00 with free shipping. Thanks!
WOW! Excellent presentation. My first attempt at such a project. I don't work on cars but I almost fainted when I found out what the dealer wanted to charge, so I jumped in. I did crack the door panel slightly at the transition between the panel edge that rests on the top of the door window opening and the front diagonal bar of the window frame. There is a slight curve in the panel. Just a warning to others. Be gentle when pulling the panel away from the door on the front side edge. Thanks.
Great vid. I bought an '03 Element from the original owner recently with a stack of repair receipts. Two receipts for the job you just did on the same door. Weird? I'll have to check out your vid of the radio replacement. Mine looks original but the display screen goes blank now and then, only control I have is volume, can't change channels, bands, etc... What would you suggest, factory or after market?? Thanks again... Cheers....
Thank you! I was so nervous doing this! I decided to give it a try following your instructions and successfully completely it today. Works great and you saved me $100's I am certain. So again thank you so very much!
Ugh, I broke the triangular plastic trim piece closest to the door lock getting it off. Everything else went great. Thanks for the video. Anybody have an idea what that piece is called and where to reorder it?
SO why didn't you put the harness clips on the new regulator back into the inner panel of the door? So now when you have a mystery noise in the door going tap tap tap you know where you went wrong. Otherwise well done.
Ive had the motor in and out 3 times to see if I can aline the regulator bolts no Nope. The 4 mounting bolts line up and go in just fine. Im puzzled and hope someone will read this with help. Thanks
8years later and this video is still going strong that’s for the clear video.
Thank You!
hey..that is exactly the color of mine.. only 3 were sold wiht this color in the ottawa area..
Just completed the repair. Thanks
Thanks so much. Great step by step mad it easy to fix my 2008 element window in under 1 hour for only the cost of the part and a little elbow grease.
The only kid in pittsburgh,who wasnt johnny U. That day in sandlot days.....my hero....thank you
MRr.GABRIEL.
Thank you! Your video helped me fix my broken window. The directions were easy to follow, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without your help...
This is the fourth or fifth time i fix this window on my 08 element, and every time i pull up your video as reference. Thank you thank you!
6th now lol
Here we are yet again! Time to fix the good ol driver window.
Oh man who’s playing with the window all the time??? Must be in warm climate
Thank you for this great video!!
Excellent video! I just had to do this for my car, and followed your video.

Thank you great video.
Very clear instruction
Thanks for sharing... I appreciate your Help!!!
Thanks! Probably saved me a few hundred dollars!
That window regulator power cord clip, does u hv all that yellow goo inside the clip. Mine had all that inside it. Is that normal, the goo stuff?
U can remove the door power switch part off the door. 😉
We don't think that it is very normal, no.
For the "black stuff" try Home Depot "Butyl Rubber Sealant Tape" 1/4" x 3/16" X 40'. $5.00 a roll. Used for metal wall & roof systems. Dark gray. Worked fine for me.
10mm socket for the hex bolts.
Thanks much, was looking all over for that info!
Thanks for that information on your video...
Thank you! Just swapped mine out today using this video!
Great detailed video! Have done 3 so far (2 different Honda Elements) I'm a 69 year old lady and even the car guru guys in the neighborhood say they've never attempted it. I get all parts from APDTY

Brian Esposito excellent!! Great job and thanks for watching!!
Happy Labor Day, thank you for the video!

I was able to install the regulator today and it's working. I needed to get this fixed ASAP and your video helped a lot. Thank you!

Like everyone else has said, a hearty THANK YOU! Great video, I didn't know how to change a window regulator and 30 minutes later, I did! You da man.
Kevin Sproul awesome!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Ugh, I broke the triangular plastic trim piece closest to the door lock getting it off. Everything else went great. Thanks for the video. Anybody have an idea what that piece is called and where to reorder it?
Great Job!
Thank you! I had to replace our passenger side regulator. Your video made it simple.
EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Great that Video shows specific detail with door panel removal, Bolt location, and even locks on electrical connections.
If the Walking Dead show is ever going to cast another Dr. Eugene Porter....... dude you got the part- just show up.
🤣
SO why didn't you put the harness clips on the new regulator back into the inner panel of the door? So now when you have a mystery noise in the door going tap tap tap you know where you went wrong. Otherwise well done.
Your video was a life saver! Thanks!
Got everything in until bolting the regulator back in and the holes do not line up. Any idea why that migt be???
Thanks for posting. Video was very helpful.
thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!
Nice video, though you missed the lower screw cover.
Thank You for this vid, I was able to save $250+ today because I was able to do the repair myself.
Your hat kicks ass. And so does the tutorial, you rock.
Ive had the motor in and out 3 times to see if I can aline the regulator bolts no Nope. The 4 mounting bolts line up and go in just fine. Im puzzled and hope someone will read this with help. Thanks
I fucking hate that corner panel... and plastic in general. I broke a plastic piece on both sides. God... i miss steel cars.
You're the best! Thank you so much!
The problem with my Element is that the window does not fall down and gets stuck halfway. Anyone know what it could be?
Awesome video. Literally saved me over $400
Thank you very much for taking the time to make and post this video! It was very well made, and it was super helpful!
