Installing the new window regulator



- Line new window regulator up with rivet holes, this can be a bit fiddly with not having the internal door steel panel completely off

- Now we need to punch the new rivets in when doing this ensure you hold the window regulator against the steel panel, I didn't on one and ended up having to drill the new rivet out again and put another new one in (If its not tightly riveted in place it will rattel against the steel panel when you are dirivng

- Reattach the motor ensuring you line the teeth up so you dont mash any of them

- Now before you put the glass in I recommend testing the new window regulator works, to do this you'll have to temporarily reattach the internal door computer and the electric window control buttons and the door wiring loom to the car

- When your happy the window mechanism goes up and down without fault make sure line the white lugs back up with holes so you can easily get the glass back in

From here reassemble all other parts as described in the dissassembly

New pop rivets are supplied with the kit
The kit cost me £49.01 inc vat so its not that expensive (Scrapyard wanted £45 for one off a scrappie)

Good Luck!!
