My "winter/beater" car is a 2010 Mazda CX7 that had door lock issues when I bought it. Only the driver's door and hatch work electrically. At some point I need to pull the door cards and figure out why, but since I'm usually the only one in it, it hasn't been a top priority. Pulling door cards without breaking anything is always a pain, with any car. I guess that's mostly why I haven't done it. Maybe I'm a bit more motivated now.
When I was in in high-school my buddies dad had a 97 Corvette that he barely ever drove. Every once in a while he'd let my buddy take it out for a spin, but most of the time it just sat on a battery tender. We probably put half of the miles that were on that thing and it was super low miles.
Finally you decided to post car content! I know you mentioned previously you were hesitant to post car content since this is mostly a PC related channel, but I think you should post more car content. I am saying this as a PC and car guy (own a 66 mustang with a 302 V8). Keep it up!

Classic cars are awesome. I love to watch car tv show where they make restoration of old cars to their glory. Its nice to see you like them too and try to keep yours working. Its not an easy thing to do
Nice C4. 2021 C8 owner here. I also have a L98 equipped 1992 Z28, my Dads old car I kept after he passed away. My tuned port is long gone, lots of parts upgraded, around 350-400hp now. Much slower than my C8, but it actually gets a lot more looks. Not many 3rd gen Camaros in Illinois that are not rusted hulks.
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by how many heads my C4 turned compared to my other cars. Thought it would fall grossly behind but the attention is definitely there. Nice to see folks appreciating classics.
The one repair I have been too scared to attempt on my 02 Mustang. Love it and looks amazing. Also, totally agree working for something is always the best way
This design looks like it's probably better than most for getting aftermarket. I've done quite a few aftermarket ones and a lot of the time they fail within a year. But those also tend to use guided wire rather than gear teeth on a pivot point.
A long time ago I had a 1977 Camaro and I bought a special tool to pry off fasteners that held the door card on to fix the window. I also replaced the dashboard too. Later on I had a 1990 Ford Probe that I replaced the rear view mirror which was easy
My dad has a 40th anniversary c4 Corvette red with black and red interior. It a couple years newer than this one you bought off your dad. I wanna get one rather it's black red or even this blue looks nice on that car
I just did this on my 2011 Camry. I got it functioning, but now two years later I feel the window rattling and just horrible from using aftermarket window tracks. But my electronics were good. Make sure you use OEM parts. But if the electronics aren't working, I would start at the fuse box and work your way back to the window, before remove the whole window.
GL finding OEM windows regulators for a car this old. Even if they existed, they aren't worth the premium. If the tracks are failing, I'd blame that specific manufacturer, not aftermarket parts as a whole.
@@GregSalazar That's the crux of buying such an old car. But your car is more of an heirloom than a car. But in my experience, it is worth the effort to do a lot of research and try to get OEM. Otherwise, you will likely make more problem for yourself. like me. LOL As for quality, GM has never really been know for reliable cars. although they have a few models like the 3.8L engine cars. BTW, what was the issue? was it the switch or the motor? It sounded like a switch, but old motors can corrode and stuck, but often times you can unstick them and they work fine. But I hope you're enjoying your car now.
As someone who worked on car windows and regulators.. i actually agree. OEM parts are a way to go. In ur case i would have replaced the motor only bc the inners get stuck when they are old. In a few years aftermarket parts will give you trouble @GregSalazar
@@hectorgonzalez4792 It's a $200 part. Again, find me a _new_ OEM '91 regulator. If it's refurb, it's just as likely to have issues down the line as an aftermarket part. At the end of the day, it's not the end of the world. The window now works. And if I had to do it over again, it would take 1/5 the time :-)
Nice change of pace! I always tell people to try to fix it yourself before spending money paying someone because most things aren’t that complicated and you’ll never know if you never try
That’s a pretty cool looking window regulator. I’ve never properly seen one until several weeks ago when I fixed a rattle on my RX350’s driver window (it turned out to be a lose nut, that’s it) and discovered that car’s window regulator is just… a scissor lift… I studied engineering in college, I did high school robotics, I wasn’t expecting a window regulator to be something that was pretty ubiquitous in high school robotics (Also imagine if it was just a blown fuse, but then again, if the fuse was blown, maybe the window regulator would’ve needed a replacement anyways)
What an awesome crossover. I remember meeting you and seeing your Ferrari and Porsche, so I had a feeling you were into cars. Manual C4 vette and actually working on it yourself though? Didn’t see that coming. More of this! Some driving content would be cool too.
Good job! I have changed somewhere around 50 regulators in my time. We never need to remove the glass. I am not sure why that was a concern, but maybe Corvettes are different. Also you don’t have to remove the battery. The Windows switches do not get power without the key on. Don’t worry, it will be easier next time. ❤
Battery removal was necessary to prevent excess drain in these older cars. The door card light stays on 24/7 with the door ajar and it's scalding hot. It's a general rule of thumb to disconnect the battery when working around anything electric in a car. The window switches weren't the only thing involved here.
Yeah my first window regulator I put in my own vehicle was a challenge but it was a learning experience. After that I can replace a window regulator in no time
Honestly the LTx engines were underrated. They always to me had a way more fun powerband. They always FELT faster than an equal LS1 did. The torque hit was always so nice. I don't mind these cars, but back in the day I HATED working on these cars anywhere but in the interior. Because the fiberglass would get everywhere on me and I'd itch for DAYS. But the fact it's a core memory car for you and you were able to actually purchase it, is awesome. Also double thank you for not being an EV pleb. I fully expected that to be the case, but seeing your list of previous cars...pleasantly surprised. EVs su(k!

Take it to Rainman Ray in Bradenton. He has a TH-cam channel where he documents customer's repairs on video then posts it on his channel. A bit quirky, but he does excellent repairs and above all he is honest.
@@windowsxpprofessional You can't easily access the motor, which is riveted to the regulator, without removing it. In such an old car, it wouldn't make sense IMO to create more work when I could just replace the entire thing.
I could have, but as mentioned a bit later in the video the replacement regulator was bent slightly differently in a few places which completely threw off the position of the window by the time it was remounted.
Did you try to unplug the door contact and then plug it back in? That connector has in virtually all cars an issue with sometimes just needing to get reseated. You have the gear to give your old one 12v if you wanna test it if you still have it laying around, I find it rare that the motor goes bad.
@@GregSalazar I've only ever had it happen in my own Polo from 84 and a friends BMW from 92. I've had the connectors connection fail on said Polo (1 year before the motor went), a golf mk2, a Ka mk1 and a newer (2012 ish) Mercedes E. But that's just my personal experience, my mechanic said the first time I ever had the issue that its pretty much always just the contact and he just clicked it apart and back again and it was fixed. This could be an EU vs. US thing where the motors in the US model of cars is different than the EU models or something with the weather, I don't know, but it is really isn't that often the motor dies here. EDIT: As an after thought I just realized we undercoat our cars. I think its something like 70% get it done, that gets sprayed a little in to the inside of the car doors too while at it but not on purpose when doing the hinges. Undercoating isn't big in the US as I recall. I've taken enough car doors apart to know its super sticky stuff and it doesn't not make that job easier.
I had to replace both front window motors in my own 2001 bucik century custom it was a bit of work first time but once did it once second time was way easier the inside of my door looked extremely similar all the way down to wires just shaped different
I would have retained the factory regulator assembly, and just replaced the motor. As noted in the video the cheap chinese Ebay part was misaligned, and will not last as long as a quality factory part.
I guess as you are showing this that the regulator did the trick, but without seeing the video past the opening sequence I would have thought it was a defective switch.... time will tell....So it WAS the motor assy. Perhaps you tested the electrics BEFORE ordering the unit? PS Many decades ago amongst other things I fitted the drop head on Rolls Royce Carmargues You would not like to have seen how the screen pillar was adjusted to fit the jig to allow for the glazing of the door.
I had a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and I think GM (and BMW) regulators are THE worst. I replaced all four at some point in my ownership of that vehicle and the front ones more than once. The problem is that it's not the metal parts or the motor, It's a stupid plastic piece that breaks. It doesn't matter if it's OEM or aftermarket either. That one part that always breaks, is always made of plastic and I'm assuming it's done on purpose so they will continue to fail. Make it out of metal and it will probably outlast the the usefulness of the vehicle itself.
Idk about the L98 but the LT1 in the later years are a big PITA with the optispark distributor system so that might be good even though it's less power.
Greg, please keep it and then sell it to your son (following your principles). That will be great, to keep the car in your family for multiple generations.

The elephant in the room (for me at least) was why it sat so long with so few miles lol

Maybe it would be easier to install with the top on the car? That'd let you slide it up as far as it'll go and then secure it in that position?
There's no way to tighten or adjust the window against the regulator with it fully up. Needs to be somewhat in the middle of the door frame.
