replacements from advance auto are $80 with lifetime gaurantee. can you swing that? they are really easy to install. im sure you can find a right up online. mine actually came with specific instructions for my tahoe. if you cant do $80, see what you can find on ebay used. just to get you by for now.

thanks blue.... and red i think the one ur talkin about for $80 is for a front manual one.. i need the drivers rear....those are $173 and up.. thanks anyway man

holy ****! i just looked it up. i guess i got lucky. from what i see the rears are twice as much as fronts. mine was the front passenger. best of luck man.

if you need a temp solution, pull the door panel off and rig something with the regulator keep the window up. wedge something inside the door and put the panel back on. just a thought.

I had the same problem with my driver rear, the cables where binding up and started chafing, i couldn't find any new regulators around here so i call around at the junkyards and only one could get one it was like new and like 79 dollars, haven't had a problem since

I had to buy a used one for my rear window as well. They are easily twice as much as the front ones. I found one in a junkyard on a Avalanche and scored it for 60 bucks. Suburbans, Yukon XLs, Escalade ESVs, and crew cab trucks all use the same rear door regulators. As for as the Tahoes, only Escalades and Yukons share the same rear door regulators.
