I will add that I have had windows stuck in the up and down position and have still been able to roll the top regulator rollers out of the window sash channel. On the removal of regulators and motors, Tim is correct! I've parted many 63's and 64's and I remove as Tim Indicated and use the foot pressure technique. If you simply pull this top gear out, clean out the dried up old grease, and liberally apply hi pressure wheel bearing grease (what we call cup grease in my neck of the woods), it will often bring them back to life. Often the top gear that engages the regulator is embedded in dried up grease where it fits into the motor. You will need to adjust the regulator and short guide.ĭon't be afraid of the window spring, just respect it.

Then install regulator/motor back into door, reversing steps above. Try not the have the big gear on the regulator at the end. Then take the long end of the regulator and rock the assembly until the motor gear will slide into position (having an assistant helps). To reinstall the motor, position the motor as close to the holes as possible. Place the short end's edge on the ground, and use the long end as a lever and rock the regulator back and forth to make sure it moves freely. This is also a good time to clean and relubricate the regulator and rollers. Once the motor is off of the regulator, loosen your foot pressure and regulator will gently 'unwind.' Your foot pressure will keep the spring from moving. If that happens, just take motor away, reapply foot pressure and pry gear away). Put pressure on the regulator and motor with your foot and take the pry bar or screwdriver and pry the motor away from the regulator (pry at the motor gear, otherwise the motor will come off and the gear will still be there. Remove the three bolts (regulator spring is not going to fly off). Then put your foot on the motor where it meets the regulator. Once regulator/motor out, lay them on the ground with the motor bots up. Remove regulator/motor assembly out of opening in door. Pull up on door glass and slide the other regulator roller out of the door glass channel.ĥ. Remove the short guide piece (2 bolts) from the door that one of the rollers slide in.Ĥ. Remove the bolts that hold the regulator to the door.ģ. If the window operates, lower it halfway.Ģ. I've taken out well over a hundred of window motors, and here's the way I do them without doing any drilling:ġ.

The actual restoration of the window motor is covered in detail in several topics. Maybe also remove the window? (have to replace the weatherstrips anyway). My question: Is there another way to remove the window motor from the door?

I checked my service manuals and on page 6-26/27 of the fisher body manual they suggest to drill three holes to access the mounting screws of the window motor. Since the passenger side motor is a little slow. Since the door panel is off, I thought it'll be a good idea to also restore my window motor. Removed the passenger side door panel, and peeled away the old lacquer.

Now the car is in winter-storage and I started to restore my wood veneer. As you might remember, I just recently bought a 68 Cadillac DeVille Convertible.
