Ford Focus window regulator replace (manual window) HD

Hope it help you in some way. Thanks for watching General Tech Tips: • Use painter’s tape rather than duct tape to secure window. It will not damage paint or leave sticky residue. • A plastic pry tool is useful. It will not easily damage delicate trim like a screwdriver or metal pry bar. • The replacement regulator should have a liberal amount of grease on slide area. If there is not much grease present, white lithium grease works well to lubricate the slide area. • Aftermarket window tinting can cause the window to travel slower and put additional strain on the window regulator assembly. • Window run channels should be cleaned and lubricated before installation of a new window regulator assembly. Silicone spray works well. Tools required for removal and installation of window regulator • Silicone spray lubricant • Panel retainer remover • Magnet • Pick • T-20 Torx socket or driver • 1/4” socket or driver • 6mm socket or driver • 5/16” or 8mm socket or driver • Punch • Tape to hold window • Small hammer • Flat-blade screwdriver or plastic pry tool STEP 1: Gain access to the Window Regulator assembly by removing the interior trim panel.

The handle completely separates from the door frame by then sliding forward (towards the car) to disengage the rear clip. STEP 5: Remove foam vapor barrier by peeling away from door frame. A putty knife may help if it does not peel off easily. There is one plastic side bolster retainer that needs to be removed prior to completely removing vapor barrier. Remove retainer by inserting panel retainer tool underneath and prying it out. Once vapor barrier is removed, set aside being careful not to get black sealant on clothes or interior of car. It is very difficult to remove from cloth. Sealant can be removed from metal surfaces with some gum cutter or a similar chemical. Check to make sure the chemical will not damage the paint surface. STEP 6: Plug the window switch back into vehicle connector. If the Window Regulator still operates, it is helpful to move the Regulator up and down using the switch. If the Window Regulator operates, move the Window Regulator slider until it aligns with the oval hole in the door frame. STEP 7: If the Window Regulator does not operate or is bound up, you may need to cut the Window Regulator cable in order to maneuver the slider into position.
