anyone changed on out theirself

my driver window is getting hard to crank on 98 hatch

I removed the panel and peeked inside sprayed a lil WD-40
didnt do anything for it

is this a bitch to get in and change or what
shop wants $200 to replace

 

there easy to change, just dont buy a peice of ---- worn used one or you will never get it adjusted.

 

any write ups or instructions I could use anything

 

If you start loosening some bolts, and move things around, youll figure it out. Thats the HMT Way.

 

There is nothing to it. Roll the window all the way down. Pull the clip for the crank handle and pull off the handle. Take of the door panel and peel back the plasitc. Unbolt the 2 bolts that hold the window to the arm and pull the window out. There are 4 bolts that hold the regulator to the door (at least on a 90, I'd assume it's very similar) unbolt them and pull the regulator out through the large opening at the bottom of the door (or wherever there is room). Make sure nothing is bent on the regulator and give it a good cleaning with brake fluid. You might want to take off the spring and inspect it and make sure there are no bits between the coils. Put it all back together and lube it up with some good grease. Now do the whole thing backwards. Make sure the glass slides into the channels and I'd recommend getting some spray silicone lubricant and giving the window channels a good spray before putting the window back in.

 

word now thats good info appreciate!
