??? Installing left side window regulators
 
Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the window regulators on the left side door and quarter window. I have never replaced these before I want to know what I'm getting myself into. How easy is it to remove rear seat and side panel to replace regulator? I wanted to see if somewhat easy to replace or I should have someone professional replace these. Im sick of manually putting up window by hand(regulator broke).

Thanks for info.

All depends on your mechanical knowledge. Either of the two regulators aren't "Hard" if you are mechanical. But, if you aren't....they're hard.

Get a shop manual if you don't know.

To get to the rear, 1/4 window:

1] Pop seat bottom out, from front of seat bottom
2] Take the rear seat back out, two screws holding at bottom near seat belts.
3] Remove window crank.
4] Remove door sill plate
5] Remove windlace
6] Remove 1/4 trim panel, couple screws, clips, etc.
7] Remove and replace regulator assy.

Ditto on the shop manual. There is also a lot of adjustment that needs to be done to get things fitting correctly. Alll of it is spelled out clearly, and in detail and with lots of pictures, in the Ford shop manual.

I have not replaced the rear window but when I first got my '67 about 10 years ago I had to replace the driver's window mechanism. It was one of the first things I tried to do on my own. I was - still am - a novice but after wrestling with the thing for a day or two I finally figured it out. I suppose what I am trying to say is if I can do it anyone can. Have fun. E.
