The best bar none how to video post on a Chrysler Sebring door window and regulator replacement. I checked them all and this is the winner The electrical harness undo button how to is priceless
Good detailed video !! Just did both my rear window regulators on a 2002 Sebring Convertible .. On the 2002 , removing the rear seat is not needed. It is a reasonably easy job and worth doing yourself ...
Nice job. People always think working on convertibles requires some sort of voodoo magic knowledge, but they are just like any other car. Dismantle, fix things, reassemble.
Fantastic video...I wish that I found this 24 hours ago. Having struggled through this on my own, I could totally relate to the process. You are very thorough! Thanks!
I know you posted this video some time ago. I just want to add that you can buy 100 ft by 4MM aircraft-grade wire rope from harbor freight and you can get aluminum ferrules from Home Depot to repair the cable. The wheel can be purchased from multiple places online for under $4. Of course, this depends on if the wire rope or motor is the problem, the motors are still insanely expensive.
I painfully installed the RR window regulator on a 2004 Sebring convertible with PN 5066040AB. Tips: 1) Buy a refurbished part with motor and warranty. If the cable drum becomes uncoiled in shipment it is difficult to rewind and reload the cable. Retail price of a new part from Chrysler is $287. I eventually ordered two and the Chrysler parts looked like they endured WWII and in both cases the cable unwound from the drum during shipment. I am fearful of Chinese made parts. Refurbished with motor and warranty makes for an inexpensive, quick repair with some insurance during the warranty period. 2) If and when the cable becomes unwound from the cable drum there is a simple solution that is not documented anywhere else on the net to my knowledge. The problem is stretching the cable over the top stationary cable guide. Other solutions were 4 hands or vise gribs which could damage the wire cable. The best solution is to tie a thin but strong rope around the cable and hang the regulator. Tie a second rope as well. Push down on the regulator and pull the second rope to guide the now longer cable (due to springs) around the cable guide. Presto the cable is loaded!! Gravity rules!
This is fantastic, and very well detailed! Just about to buy a 99, and the back driver's side window is off track and dead. This will help a ton once I get working on it!
Thanks for your valuable time and video. I was able to complete the installation. My old dead regulator panel was stuck in the down position. Inorder to remove glass window ihad to use a hack saw and cut off bolts. I installed new panel regulator and old glass window and all works great. Without your video I would have been completely Lost. So two thumbs up. 🤸. 👍.
Kevin: Great job on you video, made replacing a lot easier. You did a great job of explaining each step. Thanks. FYI repaired my electroluminescent dash with a power inverter for $5 from Adafruit if you ever have that issue.
Kevin, thanks so much man. Job well done, thank God you are EXTREMELY thorough in explanation. Makes for a real smooth installation. It's so appreciated!!! Sebastian
Good walk through my friend, about to go do this twice over. Once in the junk yard and once in the driveway with my car. You neglected to tell us how much the regulator is, ouch! $400 from a dealer, and regular parts stores don't carry it. Getting one from a local "u-pull-it" for $35. Thanks again, well done =o)
You never went over how to fix the tension on the seat belt. Can you post another video on how to do that? This video was awesome. Helped me so much and I was able to order the part from Ebay for under $100.
i put the front window up, shut the front door and adjust the rear window to fit the front window the way it was before i took it apart and then test everything even with the top up before i finish putting it together. make sure all the windows automatically drop and inch or so before putting the top up too or they won't seal. the top closes and then you put the windows all the way up. a safety issue.
I will order new glass. Upon close inspection the nuts to remove glass are only accessible if the glass is half way up the glides. I tried cutting tension pulley wire but to no avail. One the regulator motor is dead and glass is down then no way to move glass up and down glides. Juzt some fyi info.
My glass window is all the way down on the old non working regulator panel. I have my new regulator panel (without glass window). I am ready to install new regulator panel but cannot see how to safely remove the original glass window from the old panel then attach to new panel and install on vehicle. Any help would be great. Thank you.
Just because a power window doesn't go up and down doesn't mean it's 'obviously' a cable hang up. These window motors are among those that are notorious for going bad with time. That is why the windows in these cars (and in many cars) will almost always go up and down with less vigor as the the car ages, and why a window with a motor that's going bad should be left in an up position unless absolutely necessary. You don't want to get caught with your window partially or all the way down when the motor completely fails...unless you're ready to replace it (or have it replaced) in quick fashion when it finally goes.
andycloses The rear window motors for the 1996-2006 Sebring Convertible NEVER (let me repeat that) NEVER are the problem. Master window switch, sometimes. It's generally the plastic sleeve (in the window regulator) that splits OR the plastic retainer breaks and the sleeve comes free. This video is very good.

Sir, you are a talented teacher with a systematic approach! Thank you for this very well made video!
Best step by step video I've seen so far . Thanks 👍
This has to be one of the single most informative videos I've ever seen. Awesome job including virtually every detail.

Best video I've seen on this and I own one
Very well done !!
I wish everyone would be so complete!
Best first timer I've ever seen! Thank you!

Very clear video. Just watched it through. Your video really takes it to another level. Thank you.
I have a 2006, and it looks like this is going to be a big help. I think it is real similar.

this is very well done. I am a bit daunted at the prospect of pulling so much of the interior apart to get this done but I think I will try it.

Step by step perfection! Man, this will make my life a whole lot easier. Thank you sir!

Thanks for posting this. I have to do almost the same job on my dad's Sebring.
Best instructions, Sir you have my vote. Thank you
You, sir, are a life saver! Thank you so much for posting this video!
Kevin, you made or look like I could easily do it, so I did! Thanks for the great instructions!!
Great Job!

Carparts.com less then $200 for the whole assembly new.

excellent tutorial on fixing this problem.
Thank You Kevin!!
this was a great help thank you 96 is the same
thank you x3. this video help me to both diagnose and fix the problem. again Thank You.

great job, the cable can be replaced if that's the issue but it's not too easy. i've done them. just use your brain and do it. saves lots of money.
I will order new glass. Upon close inspection the nuts to remove glass are only accessible if the glass is half way up the glides. I tried cutting tension pulley wire but to no avail. One the regulator motor is dead and glass is down then no way to move glass up and down glides. Juzt some fyi info.
Where did you get the seat covers? htnkas
I need to do one of these as well.
Any idea what would make that window go down and not come up?
My glass window is all the way down on the old non working regulator panel. I have my new regulator panel (without glass window). I am ready to install new regulator panel but cannot see how to safely remove the original glass window from the old panel then attach to new panel and install on vehicle. Any help would be great. Thank you.
By the way Metallica's "day that never comes" is almost the exact same length as your video, would be a great background song for it, lol.
and to think my mechanic wants to charge $250 for labor to do this.
Thanks for the how-to!

that's why I like classic. I like manual windows. easy to fix
@@linknzelda09 gas, oil, air and spark. no computers. the only way to go. i'd rather pay 30 thousand for a car from 71 back with a/c than any new car.
You don't have to take the seat out
Thanks!!!!
Great video! Can anyone tell me if this procedure is the same for a 2002 Sebring Convertible Limited Edition?
I will find out, soon, as I am about to embark on it (with my mechanic friend...)
My back seat won't come off!!!!! I pushed back down the up and it won't come off!!!
