Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly--that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video we're going to show you how to replace the inside door handle on this 2005 Explorer Sport Trac. Same as any '01 to '05. The tools you'll need for this project are a small set of metric sockets, small flat blade screwdriver, a putty knife and rag to protect your paint, and a drill with a 3/8 drill bit. The original regulator is riveted to the door so you'll have to drill out rivets and replace them with bolts. The most difficult part of doing this is removing the door panel. We're fast-forwarding through that. If you want to see this in regular motion or regular time, it is in our other videos. Just search our other videos. We'll get through the door panel, pulling the door panel off. You can probably get enough just from watching. It's removing a couple of panels and then removing four bolts and then prying off some pins.
Again, you can see it in our other videos. Really in this video, we don't really show you removing the regulator because again, as I said, it's riveted to the door panel. We didn't want to take the truck apart we had, but we do show you how to get to it and what to do. If you want to replace your window regulator, I'm not going to do it on this truck because there's nothing wrong with it and the regulator is riveted in three places. You take about a 3/8 drill, drill out these rivets. Tape your window up with some painter's tape. Remove this last bolt and then remove these two bolts, and you slide the window regulator out of the window channel and pull it out through this hole. Like I said, the original ones are riveted in, so I'm not going to drill this truck because there's nothing wrong with it. You need to go to the hardware store and get three nuts and bolts to replace those rivets unless you have a large rivet gun.
We hope this helps you out. Brought you to by www.1AAuto.com. We are your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

I bought this from 1A Auto because of the video instruction. To tell the truth I didn't even shop prices. Everything about this transaction was perfect. Delivery only took a couple of days, the Instructions were great and the part was a perfect fit. Even though I never looked elsewhere for prices I would have felt pretty unprincipled after watching that installation video buying it somewhere else to save a few bucks Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best price out there. I highly recommend 1A Auto!
NO NUTS OR BOLTS TO REPLACE RIVETS YOU DRILL OUT

All the parts work perfectly, as 1aauto products always do. 1aauto always delivers on their quality products with extremely competitive prices but my experience of the installation was not, "trouble-free" as they say.
Now I watched the installation video at least a half-dozen times and read through the products description and never found, saw or heard anything fair-warning about the product not containing all the necessary hardware for the job.It was frustrating having to put the project off and got to work with my windows taped up praying it stays up, doesn't rain and i don't get stopped and questioned. The products description was as follows.

This is the second window regulator with motor purchased from A1 Auto. Both fit exactly like original equipment and when installed are very quiet when operating. A1 Auto does a nice job providing a step by step video making installation error and hassle free. Excellent costumer service.

Fits exactly as it should. Would recommend, but you will need to get more rivets or bolts to hold the new part in, You'll need 5 of either. Bolts I used were 1/4" x 3/4" long.
