driver side started to go first then the pass followed. ive checked fuses and all that. the driver window still goes up and down but while doing so it clicks and stops and i have to help it with my hand. and the pass side doesnt move at all but i do hear a noise when i hit the button, also pass side falls down constantly, i actually removed door panel and put clamps on the guides so the window doesnt fall

the rear window regulator are not the same as the front and the rear ones are harder to find. i just replaced my driver rear and couldn't find a new one so i bought a driver front and it is different and wont fit, i had to get a used one from a junk yard. i did find a guy online that will rebuild your old one for like 65 or 75 i think not to sure on the price but pretty close, hope that helped

how hard are they to take out and re install? it looks pretty hard as the door doesnt just unbolt and open up(would be nice). If its to hard itll prolly be easier to buy new ones and install rather than rip ones out from the wrecker. thanks for the help

The hardest part of removing and reinstalling them is removing the door panel some junk yard have them already taken off or at least the one where i got mine did.

I need to replace out my rear driver side window regulator on my 2001 Yukon XL Denali. It got stuck leaving about a 6 inch opening. Have any of you seen a DIY write up on how to do this exactly? Luckily I found a place near my house in socal that has em for $112. Ive seen them any where from $250-300 everywhere else. Thanks in advance

I actually had to replace the rear drivers side on my 01 Suburban. They are quite expensive compared to the front doors. Cheapest new one I found online was from Rockauto.com. I ended up getting a used from from a local junkyard for 45 bucks. Its quite easy to replace. Remove the door panel and the plastic weather shield. Use some duct tape to hold the glass up, tape over the top of the door. Then undo all the bolts holding the regulator in and two bolts that clamp the glass to the regulator. Then you can pop the regulator assembly loose from the door and manipulate it to get it thru the hole on the bottom of the door. Then put your new on into the door and bolt in place of the old one. My first time ever changing one and knowing nothing about it, it took me about 30 mins. If you are mechanically inclined, it shouldnt be hard at all to figure out.

That may work if its just a bad motor, but not if the regulator is jacked up. On mine, the regulator cable got messed up. When I did replace the regulator assembly, I took off the motor since its still good. I'll save it just in case I ever have one go bad. I hear that although the front and rear regulators are different, the motors are the same. But they are side specific. Like a drivers side motor will only fit either of the drivers side doors.
