REMOVAL/INSTALL OF WINDOW REGULATOR (740-886)
Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird 1993–2002

General Tech Tips:

  • Use painter’s tape rather than duct tape to secure window. It’s less likely to 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 and motor assembly:

  • Silicone spray lubricant
  • Trim panel removal tool
  • Pick
  • Saddle cup assembly, tape, or wedge to hold window in place
  • Flat-blade screwdriver or plastic pry tool
  • 10mm socket or driver
  • Phillips screwdriver
  • Grease pencil or marker
  • Dorman Rivet Gun (Dorman pn# 743-100) or equivalent
  • Body fasteners (Dorman pn# 700-615)
