window regulator

Nappers · May 17, 2006

Hello, I am seeking help in replacing the passenger rear window regulator on my 2000 Yukon SLE with power windows. Also, is there anything I can do to lube or maintain my other power windows to keep them from failing? I sprayed some Marvels lube into the plastic (I think) gear of the drivers rear door as it sounded "strained". Seemed to help. I noticed the "bad" gear had some grease in it but not sure what type. I maintain my rigs great, actually kinda anal with help I read on this site and general research and this rig is really nice (first Yukon) and I love it and it has 97,000 well pampered miles on her.

The old regulator had the cables twist up and jam up causing the gear to be torn up and failing. The motor is fine, got a little hot but will keep as a back up.

Also, I tried to remove the front door panels but had trouble and didn't want to "reef on it just a little more" to get them off, I found one screw on the bottom and it would not budge. The rear doors have clips that snap into the door and figure the fronts do as well.

Thanks very much in advance. I never did a window regulator and mine kinda fell apart and not sure how it goes back(cables fell out of where they went, I'm pretty good DIY). Any help or tips or online reference would be greatly appreciated. My wife looks awesome in the Yukon and want to keep it a nice rig.......Now to save my pennies to replace the grile.....Pheasants tend to go through a couple of slats and break it up a little, lucky it looks good still I'm only missing a couple of slats and it hit the radiator support, so no damage to it luckily. Worst part was the kids almost got the what for cause they were playing baseball in the front lawn and I thought the worst immediatly, then the wifey mentioned a large bird she thought she hit with the bumper, feathers confirmed

Again Thanks for ANY help.

Ha, I was going to give you a hard time and look for a pictures or sthu graphic after reading the first part, but then I got too busy laughing after reading the bird part, ha. I had a few birds bounce off my first car, but nothing with the truck thankfully.

It was funny, especially when I was being fueled like a missle looking for 2 of 5 kids with a ball bat and ball in the front yard. Fur almost flew that day. LOL.

Now has anyone replaced the window regulator?

PLEEEZE any tips or help would be appreciated. My stupid Haynes book only shows the front door regulator removal. I don't want to unbolt anything unecessary or break the glass. This is a nice car and got a good deal on a regulator on E(vil)Bay.

Thanks
