    I just finished replacing mine. I watched your video twice and the entire job done in 45 minutes!!! You saved me a small fortune. Thank you so very much.

    I was going to take the Lesabre up to the shop and have them fix the window. Probably would have cost me a few hundred bucks. Then my lovely bride of forty some years reminded me that I, the man she married, am a man who is capable of fixing stuff myself (if I just work carefully and try not to get mad and try not to get frustrated and try not to lash out in blind rage and cuss and swear and break things). So I watched your excellent video and I was able to disassemble the door without breaking anything. The cable had broken on the old regulator. I ordered the replacement part from you rather than Jeff Bezos. I think it was $10 more, but I hate Amazon and even thinking of Bezos makes me want to lash out in blind rage and cuss and swear and break things). Plus I wanted to show appreciation for the effort you put into making the video. It took me about 40 minutes to put the new regulator in and I didn't break anything getting it back together and I didn't cuss even once (well maybe once or twice but it was under my breath and it was probably more of a speculative cuss rather than a full out scream of rage) and it works great. The old LeSabre used to belong to my Mom and Dad and it has some sentimental value for me. Makes me feel good to be able to fix things myself. It's empowering. Thanks for doing what you do.

    Just put my new regulator/motor passenger side in no problems. Think someone else mentioned going ahead and getting both sides which is what I did as it wasn't that much more and neither regulator or motor on drivers side hasn't been changed since I have had the car. Really appreciative of this video and others from A1 auto

    I just fixed my father's window regulator in his 2005 Buick Lesabre, after it having been inoperable for half a year. The local dealership installed his and didn't tighten the two bolts that clamp the regulator to the window. Glad I was able to get it working for him again. Thank you for sharing this helpful video!

    Thanks so much for this great video. My window regulator broke on my 2001 Buick Lesabre Tuesday night when I went to roll it down. Heard the plastic snap and fall inside the door. Found your video Tuesday night and ordered a new regulator with the motor. Order arrived Thursday! Just replaced it and it works great! Thanks for making this job easy and saving me money! So happy with it that I'm going to replace the rear regulator making funny noises before it's completely gone!

    Did a 4-year auto mechanic apprenticeship way back when, lack of funds, spinal injury, some friends who own a repair shop mix 'em all together and it makes it a little tentative for me to attempt replacing a regulator. You weren't kidding when you said it's a defect in the 2000-2005 Lesabres. I've had seven different regulators go on my 2002 Lesabre. Usually it happens in the winter when the windows ice up, but this time - mid July.
    My friends who own the repair shop let me change it on their lot this time (seeing as I let them change the other 6). Right now, I'm not sure which has more rust on it - my Lesabre, or my dormant mechanical skills. I couldn't have done it without your video. You guys are pro class. I wish I could have had you as teachers when I was working in the service station.
    Appreciation factor is very LARGE for this video.
    Cheers !

    Awesome step by step... I replaced the passenger window motor in my mom's 2000 LeSabre last year and then the window fell into the door two weeks ago. The dealer wanted $350 to change out the regulator. I bought a new one for $49 with a motor. Went in just like you said. It's amazing that GM uses such cheap plastic parts for the windows. The whole plastic lift mechanism was in four pieces in the bottom of the door. Perfect directions and I so appreciate your videos. She's 83 and on a fixed income. You saved her $300!!!

    Man, you just saved me HUNDREDS of $$ on my 02 LeSabre! Thank you!!!! The only things I will add to help others is: you need A LOT of force to unclip the door skin; I tried using a long screwdriver to pry, but it was bending the screwdriver. I ended up grabbing a pry bar and it worked good. Also, loosen the bolts on the window regulator to the clamps the actual glass slides into BEFORE putting the motor/regulator assembly into the door. Makes things a lot easier. And as the video said, make sure everything is BEHIND the inside of the glass ie closest to you. Excellent video. Going to spend the money I saved on more Ethereum :-)

    Just finished replacing mine using this video. I have a 2005 Buick LeSabre. Pretty much the exact same car as in the video, down to the color. Took me a little longer to do it, as I normally like to study things as I go along (Geek alert!). But anyway, you saved me a lot of time and money, so THANKS SO MUCH! PS, I'd like to replace ALL the plastic fasteners inside the door. Where can I find them?

  • @randyperry100
    @randyperry100 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    All I can is thanks... you guys saved me a ton of money. Both rear window cable assemblies failed on my '01 Buick Regal within weeks of each other. I purchased both regulators without motors (they were fine) and replaced them in a couple of hours. I figure I saved, between OEM parts and dealer labor, at least $800 thanks to this video. Awesome!

  • @benlofgren5833
    @benlofgren5833 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thx, the video helped save a lot of time getting the window back up. I saw that the top cable came loose on my regulator so temporarily I just pushed the window up into place and found out that the regulator will still lower the window if the button is pushed so I disconnected the button until I can get some warmer weather to work on it again. If you could these videos are really loud at the beginning and the instructional parts are very quiet. There's some really good software out there to clip the highs during your first part and then turn up the softer parts which is what we really want to hear well. Thx, Ben

    This part on the dealerships' website is about $183, the dealership wanted to charge me $500 to replace it. No thanks! If I were to take my car to the dealership for this repair for both regulators on the front of my car, the total cost would have been about $1,260. As it is, through you guys, the total cost is going to be about $108. I've got the right front regulator replaced, now I have to get the left front one replaced. Thank you very much for your videos and your prices!

    @firedogg70 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good job on the video, if I had thought to look for videos online when each of the back windows went out I could have saved the $400 the dealership charged for the first one. Second one I had them secure it in the up position with wire ties. Now I am replacing that window and the one that went out this morning (figures since it was 22 degrees out). With the way they break you must be making good sales on these parts.

    I'm having an odd problem (just happened this morning), my front passenger window wont go back up. It came down all the way, no problem, but then got about half way up and stopped, and the motor's making a loud buzz (it's not a click, or a grind). I tried making it go down bit, and it did, then when I went to put it back up, it stopped again in the same spot and started buzzing, it seems like the window is getting stuck on something. Once I get the door panel off, what should I be looking for?

    The window in my 1990 Lesabre (only 100k actual miles guys) stops about an inch from the top going up or down. On the way up it stops and I can hear clicking. How do I troubleshoot for which part is bad. Unfortunately the cut-aways in the door are smaller than the newer models so it's a bit difficult seeing what's going on.

    What if it still does not work after replacement? Is the driver door module maybe worn out as well? It just makes a click sound when I try to role a window down or up.

    • @spizrink7946
      @spizrink7946 ปีที่แล้ว

      did you ever figure what the problem was with yours I have the same issue. I replaced it and checked it before putting the door cover back on and it was working then after I sealed it all up and plugged the panel back in the window button just makes a click noise and nothing happens. All the other windows work from the panel.

  • @deasiathomas8616

    Hello, i just replaced the driver side motor and regulator on my 2003 buick and now, all you can hear is a clicking sound but the regulator (the pulley) is not moving up or down. The window also is not secure onto the regulator. What else could be the problem? All other 3 windows work fine

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      You may want to inspect the cables, and window inside the door to see it there's something that jamming the cables, window or even the window regulator. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

    So how specifically does one tell whether it is the motor or the regulator or both? I have an '04 lesabre where the passenger window struggles to come up. But I don't want to take anything off the door until I get a better idea what is going on, and can order parts in advance ready to go. I was wondering if maybe it is off track? I hear a bit of a squealing noise sometimes. Thanks.

    • @1AAuto

    so i have a 2002 buick lesabre. when i installed a new regulator and motor, it only had the power to go down.the control module doesnt even make a clicking noise. i was wondering if it was at all possible to install the regulator then while thats already installed, connect the motor without power so the window doesnt come down?

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      You may want to test the power going to and from the switch with a test light or an ohm meter. The switch might be bad. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

    So what do you do if you have a window stuck down and you take it apart and can only move the window up about 2 inches by hand and then it gets stuck and wont go up or down and you cant get to the second bolt? Already tried lube.

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      +James Crawford Thanks for watching! The best thing is to have the new regulator ready to go, because you will have to cut the cable on the old part. Once the cable is cut the window will move freely, and you should be able to proceed with the repair! www.1aauto.com/1A/WindowRegulators/Buick/LeSabre/1AWRG00172?TH-cam&CTA+Comment&QDMaZ2Cm0

  • @loritews3720
    @loritews3720 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the great video. We changed out the RF regulator on our 2000 LeSabre, but noticed a difference with the door panel. Instead of a screw in the middle of the panel, there were two clips behind the door pull area. Very difficult to get in there to pinch the clips. Wound up breaking a plastic link between the panel and the bracket for the clips. Must be an earlier design. A couple sheet metal screws and flat washers repaired it. Wondering if there is a special tool to get at those clips. Thanks again.

      +inspiredfig You may want to check the cables on the window regulator to see if they are jammed, of caught on something. Sometimes you need to cut the stuck cables to free the broken window regulator up so that it can be replaced. We carry the replacement window regulator shown in this video on our website.

    How would you determine if its the regulator or the motor that has gone bad?

    • @wolfmanrebel874
      @wolfmanrebel874 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      With the door panel off you will be able to tell, for example I currently have a 00 lesabre and the passenger side the motor jolts and has the power but the cable off the regulator has gotten all wadded up,on the driver side the motor does nothing it's shot so in my case it's the driver motor and pass regulator however you are absolutely wasting your time figuring out which is the problem I do not at all recommend on these cars trying to buy just a motor and putting on the old regulator or vice versa just buy the assembly that has new motor and reg together they are about $100 at local parts store or $40 on Amazon about $60 on partsgeek , seriously don't waste your time fighting with a wadded up regulator on a motor just change the whole thing youl be glad you did, these cars are not like others if you are familiar with changing window motors you will see what I mean when you get into it 😉

    • @1AAuto
      @1AAuto  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      You may want to take a look at the wire harness that runs between the door and the body of the car for a broken or frayed wire that may need to be repaired. If that checks out to be okay, you may want to check the window motor on the drivers side to see if it needs to be replaced. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393

      @1AAuto  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      You would need to take car of the rust that's there but removing it and then doing a little bit of auto body work to prep and paint it. As far as preventing is from rusting, you could try to keep the area clean when you wash the vehicle. Hope this helps you out.
