Nicely done. My local car repair shop want several hundreds in labor plus parts to repair my rear window. I took me less than an hour to do it myself. Thank you.
It may. You might want to check the wire harness between the door and body of the car for a frayed or broken wire that may be causing this issue. You could also take the door panel off to see if there's a frayed wire inside of the door making contact with a piece of metal.
Thanks for the video. Followed it and was able to replace the window regulator on my '05 SRX. I had this fixed on the passenger side and it cost about $450. This time, a little over $100. Great video, looking forward to tackling my next project.
I am a retired Automotive engineer, and find there product to work as good as the Original one. After I INSTALLED THE NEW ONE . THEY ARE EASER THAN THE OLD TO R&R.
Great video! 100% spot on. Only exceptions I had, which may have been in the video and I just didn't notice was loosening the window slide nuts before installing the regulator and watching out for the lock rod alignment when putting the panel back on. Thanks so much for this quality tutorial!
Thank you so much for this video it was my first time ever changing a window regulator on my car on both rear windows for the same car in the video You rock!!!

@1aauto Thanks for the link. The cable went on mine, and was caught so no mater what, the window was getting pulled down. I would love to grab yours, but i work for GM canada, so pricing is a very big difference. Thanks for the info video, i had the door off in a matter of about 3 minutes.
Great Vid let me know what I need to order from you. I have a '03 CTS the window is stuck I can hear the motor spinning but I hear a BUNCH of grinding. Thanks
If there's a piece broke on the regulator you would more than likely need a new regulator. We carry new ones on our website with free shipping. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

Thanks, excellent video. If I press the power switches on the door handles and I can hear the sound of the motor(?) or some sound, does that indicate that the motor is working and only the regulator is not functioning?
If there's power to the window motor when the switch is pressed and it's not working, you may have a bad window motor. We carry new window regulators with motors on our website 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
Thank you for sharing this! I was given a 2003 CTS that both the back window motors are gone on (Previous owner said to not let them down because they won't go back up , so I'm assuming this is the issue -Motor replacement). Also the back doors will retain water when it rains... Will I need to purchase a new rubber window gasket along with the motors?
Make sure that there isn't a pinched or crossed wire on the wiper switch that could be causing this issue. Check the power to the window motor, if it has power to it the window motor may be bad. We carry new window motors and window regulators on out website 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I have 2004 Cadillac CTS my right rear passenger side window do not work the only action i get from it when u try operate it from the from drive side is just a little noise so i know that there is power going around there but it don't work, i would like to know it a motor/ regulator problem? and also do you have any video on diagnose/repairing windshield wiper the wiper wont turn off when you plug it in? thank you for the videos.
You may want to test the power going to the window motors with a test light to see if they all have power going to them. Also check the wire harness that runs between the drivers side door and body of the car for a broke or frayed wire that might be causing the issue. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
You may want to remove the door panel and see if the window regulator has broke. We carry new ones on our website for all kinds of different year, make and model vehicles. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
So my regulator went out, but at the same time I developed an electrical short somewhere in the vehicle. Occasionally I'll hear a noise from the rear door as I'm driving, but I'm not sure what the culprit is. Could the regulator going out contribute to an electrical short like this?
How can you be sure motor is not bad also? I was thinking my motor is ok and regulator is bad because when I push the button for window to roll up down it sounds like the motor is working but I would like to be sure before I order my part
I have a 2005 CTS cadillac. how do I program my window's. Currently my driver window is down. This happened when I put a new battery in recently. Thank you!

You may want to keep a little pressure on it or support it just in case.

On this particular vehicle it's mounted to the panel.

That's a nice 63 Pontiac Lemans convert able. The CTS rear window regulator install was right on the money!
Well I greatly appreciate this video & the comments! I purchased a set from you and will get started sometime next week.
You can hold the window up with some duct tape on the outer edge to keep it from falling.
Thank you! This video was perfect! Able to do the whole thing in about 1.5 hour.
Great video!! You skipped over the door handle though struggling with that right now😅

Just had my CTS rear window fail on me today. Gonna give this a go, and let ya know how it goes.
@1aauto Thanks for the link. The cable went on mine, and was caught so no mater what, the window was getting pulled down. I would love to grab yours, but i work for GM canada, so pricing is a very big difference. Thanks for the info video, i had the door off in a matter of about 3 minutes.
You may want to remove the door panel and make the window go up and down, and see if the window regulator is hanging up on anything.

Quick question, is the rear speaker normally attatched to the door panel? Or was that just for time saving purposes for the video?

Is there something you have to do to hold the window up when you are loosening the regulator from the window, so it doesn't fall down and break?

Should I disconnect my battery? My haines Manuel told me to do so , in case of activating air bag?
+Caleb Lamma It will not hurt anything if you disconnect the battery.
I took my door panel off and the wire is off the wheel, Should I still replace it or can I put cable back on? I have a 2005 cts.
How can you be sure motor is not bad also? I was thinking my motor is ok and regulator is bad because when I push the button for window to roll up down it sounds like the motor is working but I would like to be sure before I order my part
