1. Remove the Motor

Locate the three Torx T30 screws on the window regulator motor. Carefully remove the screws and detach the motor. Keep the motor aside and handle the glass carefully to avoid damage.

2. Detach and Remove the Spool Wheel

Use a flathead screwdriver or pry bar to pop off the old spool wheel from the regulator. Inspect the old spool and cables. Pro Tip: Even if reusing parts, the cables need to be reinserted into the proper grooves.

3. Prepare the New Spool Wheel

If the new spool doesn’t fit easily, use pliers to slightly compress the metal clips around the spool mount. (Fig 1.) Check Orientation: Ensure the teeth of the wheel (for the motor) are facing upwards. (Fig 2.) Insert one cable end into the designated slot on the spool and lay it into the groove.

4. Apply Grease

Apply grease under the spool, on the grooves, and along the sides where cables will move.

5. Reinsert Cables

Loop the cables into the spool grooves, ensuring: -One cable loops upwards. -The other cable loops downwards. Secure the spool in its place while ensuring the cables align with the grooves on the regulator.

6. Replace the clip

Identify the replacement clip provided in the repair kit. Insert the cable ends into the clip’s designated slots, applying pressure to secure them. Align the clip properly: The locking plate must face upwards to prevent the cables from slipping out.

7. Feed cable around green pully

You want to take the side of the cable that's currently connected to your spool wheel and feed it around the green pully. There should be a grove to accept the cable.

8. Feed the cable along the right side

9. Loop the cable around the spool

This part can be tricky and feel like the cable is too tight. Try by wrapping the cable around the spool with the splines facing down. Then once you have it tight around the spool, rotate the assembly (Fig 3.) and push it onto the frame Once the spool is down, use a flathead to pry the frame to hold the spool down (Fig 4.)

10. Reinstall the Motor

Align the motor gear teeth with the spool teeth. With your hand holding the actuator in, rotate the whole assembly and reinstall the screws. Reattach the motor using the three Torx T30 screws. Be careful not to overtighten. Test the tension and movement by manually actuating the regulator.

11. Final Lubrication and Testing

Apply high-temp grease to the cables where accessible for smoother operation. Test the regulator’s operation by manually moving the motor or attaching power temporarily. Ensure all screws and clips are secure.

12. Reattach the Window Glass

Secure the glass to the regulator using the provided clips and guides. Tighten the Torx T20 screw with the washer to lock the glass in place.
