Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Safari and 2004 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the power window regulator. Refer to Window Regulator Replacement .
    CAUTION: Do not attempt to service the regulator motor without releasing the counterbalance spring tension. The regulator lift arm is under tension from the counterbalance spring and can cause personal injury if the motor is removed from the regulator.
  2. Install a self-tapping, pan head sheet metal screw through the sector gear and the backing plate at the hole provided. This will lock the sector gear into position.
  3. Drill out the rivets (2) attaching the power window motor to window regulator.
