6. REMOVE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR MASTER SWITCH ASSEMBLY

I just purchased a 2002 Camry XLE. When I lower the driver's window it jerks hard before it starts to lower. Then it goes down fine and back up fine. There was residue of the rubber seal at the top of all the windows but I cleaned it off , I thought maybe this was causing the window to stick in the seal but it didn't fix the problem. Is this a window regulator problem ?

Hi suspect rubber in seal has lost elasticity. Clean with alcohol wipe then spray with silicone spray any parts store will have. Try that let us know

I did that and it still sticks and jerks

Say could you post a video of window operation?

Hello mesacapri there few steps before removing the regulator # Disconnect the negative battery cable. # Remove the front door panel to gain access to the regulator assembly. # Remove the service hole cover. # Lower the regulator until the door glass is in the fully open position. # Remove the two glass channel mount bolts.

# Pull the glass up and out of the door. # If equipped, unbolt and remove the inside door panel frame. Removing front door inside panel frame by removing these bolts and nuts

If equipped with power windows, disconnect the electrical wiring. # Remove the equalizer arm bracket mounting bolts. # Remove the window regulator mounting bolts and remove the regulator (with the power window motor attached) through the service hole.

To install: 11. Coat all the window regulator sliding surfaces with multi-purpose grease. 12. Place the regulator (with the power window motor) through the service hole and install the mounting bolts. Connect the power window connector if equipped. 13. Place the door glass into the door cavity. 14. Connect the glass to the regulator with the channel mount bolts. 15. With the equalizer arm, raise the glass to the almost closed position and make sure that the leading and trailing edges of the glass are equidistant from the top of the glass channel. If not, adjust the equalizer arm to achieve an even fit. 16. Install the service hole cover. 17. Install the door panel and reconnect the negative battery cable.

I can't seem to figure out how to upload a video. but the window makes a clunk when you start to open it almost like it is off track. I'll keep trying on the video it's not going to show much you might hear a sound when it makes its clunk but that's about it.

Here is a video It doesn't show much but maybe you can hear the jerk when I start to open it each time

Instruction for replacement of 2000 camry le rear driver side window regulator

You'll have to take out the door panel. There's about 7-9 10mm bolt.. 2 for the glass, 3 on the motor, 2-4 on the window reg. itself. Disconnect the window reg. wire.

Hello to all:

I can't figure out if the motor in my windows are going bad or not. It started out with the front passenger window last year, but I didn't worry about it so much since we rarely let that side up or down. However, when we did it went down fine but was always very slow going back up (now extremely slow). This year I started having the same problem with the driver window which within time it does eventually go back up. But I've noticed when its very hot outside the window won't respond at all untl the car has been running for a few mininutes. For instance I try to leave the window cracked while at work. After I get off and try to roll the window back up after I've got the A/C on, it just does not move, up or down. I took it by a body shop one day before it rained and was told it was more than likely the motor after they tried slamming the doors a few times, I suppose to get it back on track thinking that it may have been off. Can anyone give me advice as to what my problem may be.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

you will have to remove the trim and check for power to both sides of the motor, if that is OK and the motor is straining to drive, you may have to lube the window tracks as they can bind up the glass if they get to dry, use a dedicated track lube and not a general purpose spray,

This guide will help you test and this video shows the window motor and regulator getting replaced on a similar car.

totally not hard. first take off the inside plastic door cover, few screws, and don't forget to unplug the connectors for the window switch. remove the clear weather proof plastic, unscrew the window glass from rail(2 screws) and pull glass out as you turn it sideways. unplug the window motor connector, unbolt the regulator and motor assembly (few more bolts) from door frame and pull out the whole thing

Driver window is slow going down and takes hours to go up. suspect bad motor. any tips on replacing take door apart and replacing motor? thanks

The power window motor is attached to the window regulator. If service is required, remove the window regulator from the inside of the door panel and detach the motor from the regulator

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the front door panel to gain access to the regulator assembly.
Remove the service hole cover.
Lower the regulator until the door glass is in the fully open position.
Remove the two glass channel mount bolts.
Pull the glass up and out of the door.
If equipped, unbolt and remove the inside door panel frame.
disconnect the electrical wiring.
Remove the equalizer arm bracket mounting bolts.
Remove the window regulator mounting bolts and remove the regulator (with the power window motor attached) through the service hole.

My passenger window (power) fell down while driving down the road. I took the panel off and found that a piece was broken. I don't know what the part is called in order to ask for one at the auto parts store. Can you help me with a detailed diagram of parts that make up the window assembly?

Hi lb96fwv, The diagram shows a window regulator and if any part of it is faulty, the complete assy has to be replaced.

My gf has a 94 toyota camry with 141xxx miles, automatic, fwd. Ok, now that thats out of the way. Her little brother likes to slam car doors, when he did so he cause a window to just fall down into the door panel when it was cracked open about 1/4 of the way. I have removed the door panel and it looks like her window motor uses cables to pull the window up and down. I can physically move the window up until the point she had it cracked. It still will not hold it though, it just falls back down, the window motor operates but does not do anything. On the bottom of the motor there looks as if to be two plastic pieces held together by a spring. They had seperated from the slam and I cant get them back together. Im thinking the cables are the issue. Would she have to buy a whole new window motor or am I just looking in the wrong spot all together?

The motor has a plastic "pulley" with a couple of turns off the cable.. that way every time its turning (up or down) it has "traction" looks like those turns are un-winding
and its a little bit hard to "re-coil" them.. but try it!

Un_cover the other side and compare it to the one you are working with..

By the way.. the springs are just tensioners of the steel wire.

Apply some grease on the sliders also.

Hope it help!
