In this video, we're going to be working with our 2006 Chrysler 300. We're going to show you how to remove and replace either your window regulator or motor not as an assembly. Switching out either part will follow the same procedure. This is for a vehicle equipped with anti-pinch. Meaning that if something gets wedged between the window and its frame, it will stop and reverse to prevent you from hurting yourself or damaging something caught in the glass.

We have a ton more information on this car as well as many other makes and models and if you need a window regulator for your vehicle, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com. Here the items you'll need for this repair.

Normally there would be a little panel here that's broken off and missing from our vehicle. You would want to take a hook pick, put it in there and just pop it down. Once that's out of the way you can use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screw in the handle.

Unless you're replacing the mirror you'll only have to remove the three color matched clips, one here and two at the back of the panel. The black clips can stay in place since this piece of trim is all on its own. To remove these clips, push the center in one click and you can see there's a small hole in there. I find the easiest way the remove these is get a hook pick, grab that and pull it out, repeat this process for the other two clips.

Then there are three Phillips head screws along the bottom as well as one up on the side here in the front. We'll remove all of those with our Phillips head screwdriver.

Below the door pull is another panel we'll have to pop down. Behind that panel is another Phillips head screw that we'll have to remove with our screwdriver. Grab the bottom of the panel and pop it out. Release the door handle cable here by popping this clip off to the side, rotating it and lifting the hook out. We should be able to lay it back enough to remove the connectors on the master window switch and we'll want to pop out all the retainers, the wire harness down here, unplug the courtesy light at the bottom of the panel as well. Again, this is another great place that our trim tools come in handy. Just reach in under there, pop them out and set your panel off to the side.

Disconnect the electrical connectors on the door control module. Then we'll need the use our trim tool to pop out the plastic clips for it. Use your trim tool to pop off the wire harness retainers. We have one there and one down here.

Now the adhesive on this weatherstrip is pretty tough so you might want a razor blade to help score and separate it so you don't tear the weather shielding itself. Once you've removed all of your adhesive you can peel off your interior door shielding. Go ahead and carefully pull that out of the way being sure to move it over the lock rods, door handle and all of the wiring harness.

To remove this window switch assembly from the vehicle we're going to go ahead and push down on all of these tabs, there are three on each side but once you get the three closest to you you can twist it toward you and push down and that will release the other clips. Then the switch pulls back and you can remove the whole assembly from the door.

Reconnect the driver's door module, you don't have to reattach it to the door, just let it hang there then we'll reconnect our switch that we just removed. Now if your window is broken you'll have to push the window up by hand but our motor and regulator are okay so we'll put our vehicle into the accessory position, roll our window up and at this point we can access the 10 millimeter bolts that secure our window to the regulator. We'll disconnect our switch to make sure nothing gets hit by accident and that the window doesn't move while our hands are in there and shut our key off.

Loosen the 10 millimeter bolts on the bottom of the window, you don't have to remove these fully just loosen them up a couple of turns. This is where it comes in handy to have a nice pair of rubber gloves on, because you can grip the window a lot better than you can with your bare hand. We'll go ahead and start some painter's tape onto the window and lift our window off the regulator. This may take both hands. Get the window all the way up to the top nice and straight and tape over the top onto the glass on the other side. We'll do the same thing over here: hold it up, start the tape and when you're taping the window, be sure not to tuck it up into this edge or the one on the top because that actually creates a place that the tape can go slack and allow the window to slide down. We'll do one more in the middle just for a little added security. Now our window is up and out of our way while we remove our regulator.

We'll start by removing this 10 millimeter bolt at the bottom. This partially holds our regulator in but also holds this door brace in which is part of where our panel attaches to. Once we've got that screw out we'll loosen the one at the top here. This brace can slide up and out of our door.

Now we'll remove this bottom bolt and loosen the two 10s up here. To remove your door speaker we'll actually remove these four Phillips head screws. Now we'll pull the speaker out of the door. You'll find the connector at the bottom here, we'll disconnect and remove. Remove the 10 millimeter bolt hidden under the speaker.

With the bolts loose, you should be able to slide them up and out of their key ways. Hang it down so the motor is right here in the opening for the speaker, release this red clip, push down, and disconnect our window motor. We can now move the whole regulator and motor assembly out of this opening.

Remove the three T30 Torx screws using a Torx socket and ratchet. Now keep your hand on the regulator and the motor, flip it over, carefully work the motor off of the cables.

Reinstall the motor into the regulator. We'll have to make sure that this little wheel stays in place, so you need to try to get that regulator to go in as straight as you can. Hold the motor and the regulator, flip it back over, start your screws back in just to make sure that everything stays in place. Tighten them back down with your T30 Torx socket.

Reinstall the regulator into the door. Remember that when the motor is down on the speaker we'll have to plug that connector back in and push the red safety tab then we can hook the top 10 millimeter screws into their slots. Once those are back in place, we'll reinstall the 10 millimeter screw behind the speaker as well as the one in the center of the door. Once we've started our two 10 millimeter screws we'll slide the bar back into the middle of the door as well as that 10 millimeter screw. Now we'll tighten up all six of the screws securing our window regulator.

Un-tape the window and carefully lower it back into its slots in the regulator. Make sure that it's sitting all the way down in there and tighten the two 10 millimeter screws at the bottom of the window.

Disconnect your door control module again, reinstall the interior door weather shielding here over the latch rod and the door lock and stick this corner in just to keep everything in place for now. Make sure the harness stays on the outside of it over here as well as the harness for the door module.

Connect your speaker, lay it back into place. If you push it on there right it will actually stay on there over these little plastic clips that we bolt into. We can now reinstall our four Phillips head screws. Install the driver's door module by reconnecting the connectors and pushing the plastic clips back into place. Reinstall the harness.

Reinstall the window switch sliding the front hook into place first and then push down, make sure the panel fully seats and that it's in there nice and secure. Reconnect the courtesy light and pop those two harness connections back into their proper locations. Reconnect the power mirror switch. I know there are two gray connectors here with a lot of similar colored wires going to them, but the one for the mirror switch is slightly smaller and has a lot more connections on it. We'll plug that in all the way at the front of the panel closest to me. A little black connector goes in the top of the power window switch and the large gray connector goes at the far end of the power window switch. Reinstall the latch rod, slide that clip back over it.

Lift up and slide over the door lock, line up your panel and snap all the clips back into place. To reinstall these clips you'll have to push the tab back out and through, place it back into its opening in the door panel, pop the tab back in in the center, and repeat that process with the other two clips at the back of the door. Reinstall the three screws along the bottom, the one up here at the front of the door, one under this panel and one behind the door handle with our Phillips head screwdriver. Remember to close those cover panels on the door if your vehicle still has them.
