Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a rear window regulator on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. It's the same part and similar process on the regular Envoys from 2002 to 2009. The items you'll need are a new rear window regulator from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screw driver, a 7mm and 10mm socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.
Start off by prying up this little cover with a flat blade screw driver. Then remove those two 7mm bolts. Stick a putty knife behind the door panel and slide it down until you find the first clip and pry out and reach in behind the door panel and just pull out around each clip. Once you remove each of those clips, you can pull the door handle back. Then just push this switch from underneath. It comes up and out. Then push the tab on the harness and disconnect it. You could technically do this before removing the door panel, but you're more likely to scratch up your door panel if you do that. Remove your water shield. Having a razor blade can help because you can just cut at the adhesive, but you can also just pull it free.
This is a cable activated regulator, and a lot of times when they break, what you'll be able to do, you'll hear a popping and grinding noise, and then your window will actually move up and down. So, once you get the door panel off, you'll want to move it to this position where you can get at this 10mm nut and this 10mm nut, and you're going to loosen those. Before we do that, we'll just take a screw driver and push on this tab here and push the connection out. Pull the window up and out of those clamps. Then push the tabs on this clip and push it through the door. Then remove these two 10mm bolts and loosen this top one. Tilt your window regulator and then lift it up and unhook it and pull it down and out of the door.
On the left is the old regulator. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same. Remove that top bolt from your old regulator and thread it into your new one just loosely so that you can hang it up in the door. Take your new window regulator, feed it up into the door, push that bolt through the top and hang the regulator and then just line it up and replace those other two bolts. We'll fast forward as Mike does this and tightens them both up. Push this clip back into the door, loosen up these window clamps, reconnect this harness, and then slide the window down into those clamps. Once you have it all the way in and clamped down, tighten up those two 10mm nuts, put your vehicle into accessory, plug in the switch, and just test out the regulator. You can see it works. You can just disconnect the switch and make sure you put your car back in the off position.
We'll fast forward as Mike replaces that water shield. To replace your door panel take the small panel and push it back onto these studs. Then, push the harness for that switch back up through the hole in the door panel. Line up the clips on the door panel, and once you have them all lined up, just hit them into place. Reconnect the switch and push it down into place, and then replace those two 7mm bolts and tighten them back up. Now just replace the small cover, and you're all set.

I'm a 32 y/o single mom with no mechanical background. I've done minor repairs to my vehicles but nothing major. That being said this was super easy to install and thanks to the videos from 1AAUTO I was able to replace the part in minimal time without any hiccups. Pricing is also the best I've found. My local auto parts stores were more than DOUBLE the price from 1AAUTO.com and shipping is free!!! Thanks Mike and the whole team from 1AAUTO
Happy camper

Part ordered in 3 days as expected. Cables look/feel beefier than OEM. Installed in a flash. Interior door panel clips - needed to replace 5 of 8, led to unanticipated run to parts store.
Easy to navigate website, great price, rapid delivery. Love the how to videos.

My purchase from 1A Auto Parts was very easy to order with a user friendly web site and a double check reminder to make sure I was ordering for right window and for the XL model. My part was received at the front end of estimated time of arrival. Thanks, makes keeping my older car running with much less expense for me.
Awesome!!!

This worked perfectly in our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer! Install is a 2 person job but takes less than 30 minutes. The A1 Auto video was nice but I wish they had closer angles of what the guy was doing. So far the part us working and functioning as intended.

My boyfriend was driving around without a drivers side window for over 5 months. Your how to video was simple and easy that I decided to do it for him for his birthday as a surprise. Pretty quick and easy and was done within a half hour. Thank you for your how to video and it was inexpensive part as well. Now he can go through drive thrus without any problem.

Thank you for the ease of ordering and exact product match! The YouTube video made it so, even an amateur like me, could get this done! The window regulator works and fits great, no problems at all! Considering my location in Michigan's upper peninsula, 1A AUTO is now my #1 parts choice! Highly recommend this part and trust this site to my friends and family!!!

1A Auto is great. You know their tutorials are well done and well spoken specific and in my case very precise for my vehicle. But ordering the part is a little scary but this company did just great. Now I made the mistake of ordering the wrong window regulator but the turnaround process was fast. I had my regulator in and working in less than one weekend.
Worked Great!! Love Video

When the cable broke on my power window, I couldn't figure out how to remove the mechanism and inspect it. Thanks to a video on youtube made by the owner of this site, I saw how simple it actually was. I was able to quickly remove the mechanism and determine that I needed a new one. Since the video was made by the owner of the site, it made sense to me to order a replacement from him, and I'm glad I did. It arrived promptly and, thanks to the knowledge I received from the video, I was able to install it like a pro, saving me hundreds of dollars.
Works perfectly!

When my window regulator failed on my Trailblazer, I thought, how much is this going to cost!...But luckily I stumbled upon your how-to video online and then the link to get the part. WOW! Reasonably priced part, Free Shipping, and arrived quickly. Surprised how easy to do! Couldnt be more pleased...will be back! Thank You!
Perfect fit! Awesome video!

Found 1a via a YouTube video, which diagnosed my issue. Bought a regulator w/o motor at local parts store(because I needed it ASAP on a Sunday). My working motor didn't fit. Ordered this the next morning after realizing it came with the motor AND $10 less. This item was better quality and a perfect fit. Following the video, I did it all by myself... I highly suggest 1a for my fellow females who want to learn to do it too!

delivered on time; works as expected.
video explaining replacement was very good and easy to follow all recommendations. one of trim push tabs on trim broke off during replacement procedure so that is the only thing that didn't go as hoped. (I guess plastic parts don't always hold up so well after baking in hot car for 20 years! lol)
after install, window works as expected. Happy with purchase and instruction video. Dealer quoted $400 for this repair. Part was like $75, so I'd call that a "win" for the little guys...

My car window was stuck open. Quotes to repair it ranged from $350 - $550. No way was I putting that much money into the door of a 20 year old car. I didn't know what I was going to do, so I took to youtube and found a video from 1A Auto on how to replace a window assembly. It looked a little daunting at 1st. I'm a 73 yr old woman and haven't worked on cars before. After watching the video several times ( which was very step by step), I got my courage up and ordered the part. Well, to make a long story short, I got it done and it works beautifully. I'm very happy to know when a simple part breaks, i can save money by replacing it myself . Thanks 1A Auto.
