In this video we're going to show you how to replace your front window regulator in this 2004 Chevy Trail Blazer. This is the same for any Trail Blazer, Envoy, Ascender 97X, Bravada, and Rainier. Any of these mid-sized GM SUVs. The only tools you'll need are a small and medium size flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket, ratchet, and extension. You might want some painter's tape to help you hold your window.
Start with a regular screwdriver, put it up under, quick little pry. Same thing here, pry that up. You can see it just has two clips, front and back. Then you want to turn it over here and you want to unplug all these harnesses. Basically, you just have little thumb tabs, pull them up. Skip that one, this one pulls out very easy. Use your screwdriver, just pry that up a little bit, and pull that off. Then over here, screwdriver on this tab, pry it up a little bit, rip it right out. This comes out. Around your door handle here, you're going to see some little tabs or little slots, you can insert a small screwdriver. Push down with your screwdriver and then pull out with your hand, work your hand underneath. Now the tab right back here, push down pull out. Then there's a couple up top, those ones you push up. One more right here. This whole thing comes out and if you have the memory seat and everything, you can now just pull this whole harness right up and out. Now there are two 10 mm bolts, one there and then one way down in there. 10 mm socket with a extension and ratchet, this one's really easy to get to. Pull it up and out. This one, I'm going to start it, screw it as much as I can.
I just felt it fall, which is okay. Once you have those out, then you can start up here with your hand, just work it underneath this triangle, pull out, and then just work your hand under the door panel. It will get harder and harder to slide under. Then you just pull, keep working your hand under. Pull, work your hand under, pull ... actually here is my bolt from that arm rest. Work our hand under, pull out, and your door panel comes off. We're going to pull back your water shield. You want to pull back carefully, you don't want to rip it. Now with your water shield pulled back, your regulator is held on by a few 10mm bolts, here, here. One up here and one down here. Then this bolt holds your window motor on. As well as ... there are two bolts that hold the regulator to the window. With the window all the way up, you can see one here. Then if you pull this back, there's one right here. Now if your window regulator is broken, usually you can move your window up and down by hand. You can move these into a position where you can get to them and loosen this. That's what we're going to do first.
We're going to loosen these two nuts. Now what we're going to do is, we're going to loosen this bolt. We're going to remove this bolt. We're going to remove this bolt. Remove this bolt, and loosen this bolt. We already know that my regulator is working fine so I'm going to ... so you can see my regulator came right down and my window is still held up. Just for safety sake, I'm going to put a piece of tape to hold that window in place. If your window motor is broken, we saw the regulator with the motor. What you could do if your motor breaks, you can cut one of these cables and then you can move the regulator up and down. Now I'm just going to use a screwdriver to help me push on the tab and disconnect the lead to the window motor. Now the regulator comes up. This is the tricky part. Maneuvering this thing out of here, out of the door. There's my original regulator, new regulator from 1A Auto. You can see everything is all the same. What I am going to do is remove these 10 mm bolts up here, then just transfer them to the same spot on my new regulator. I'm just going to make sure the regulator gets ... the regulator needs to get on the correct side of the window. I'm just going to work it up into place here. I'm just going to fast forward here as I put the other three bolts back in and then tighten all five of them up with my 10 mm socket and ratchet.
We can plug in our lead. We're going to run my window up. I'm going to loosen up this bolt. Make sure this one is nice and loose. I'm going to remove the tape. Let my window slide down, make sure it goes properly into these clips. Now I'm going to force my window all the way up. Now I'm going to tighten up these two nuts. You will notice it goes a little slower on the way up, that's just because the car is not on and the motor is not getting the amperage it needs. There we go, now we can put our water shield back up in place. One thing you want to make sure, is this hole right here is nice and clear. I'm going to fast forward here through putting the door panel back. Just in the interest to keeping the video a little bit on the short side. Once you get it off it's pretty easy to get back on. If you do want to see this in real speed or regular speed, just check out our other video for the Trail Blazer front door panel remove and replace.

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 the window regulator on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. It's the same part and similar process on the regular GMC Envoy from 2002 to 2009. We show you on the driver's side, but the passenger's side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this include a new window regulator from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a 7mm and 10mm socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.
Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver and then pry up the front. Then pull the switch panel up and out, push the tab on these two harnesses on this end, and disconnect them. Then use a flat blade screwdriver, and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses.
Next, remove this 10mm bolt in here and this 10mm bolt right there. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, just push this back in behind the door panel and slide it down until you find a clip. Then just pry out. Then you can reach your fingers back there and just pry out around the edge. Then just pry out on this small part of the panel up here and lift your door panel up and out of the window sill. Then it's free.
Now, you'll have to remove the speaker, so just remove these three 7mm bolts, and just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. There's two clips on the back of the speaker. Pry out right here and then down here. Now remove your water shield. A razor blade helps because you can just cut the adhesive around here.
These are cable style regulators. This cable wraps through and all through these conduits. Usually what happens is that breaks, and then you can actually just grab onto your window and move it up or down, and you want to move to a position where you can get off this 10mm nut and then this one here in the front. You do just need to loosen them up. You don't need to remove them. Open up those clamps and then slide the window out of them and all the way up. Push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Loosen these two 10mm bolts and then remove one, two, and three.
Now lift your regulator up so that it unhooks. Then just angle it down and out through here. On the left is the old window regulator; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same.
Swap those two 10mm bolts you used to hand the regulator over to your new window regulator. We'll just fast-forward as Mike does this. Take your new window regulator, feed it back into the door, and clip those two bolts into place. Once you have everything lined up, just replace the other bolts and tighten them up. Reconnect your harness.
Then take your switch panel and reconnect the harnesses for the window switches. Put your car into accessory, and just move the regulator down to where it was when you removed the other one. Now that you have access to both clamps, disconnect your switch panel and make sure you turn off your car. Loosen up the clamps on the regulator, then slide your window down into place. Make sure it's lined up and all the way down into those clamps, and then tighten the clamps back up.
We'll continue to fast-forward as Mike pushes those harnesses through the water shield and puts the water shield back into place. Line up your speaker and push it back into place. Then replace those three 7mm screws and tighten them up. Reconnect your speaker harness.
To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole. Then lift the door panel up and into the window sill. Once you have it lined up, push it down into place. Then make sure the clips are lined up, and then just hit them back in around the sides of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do is be able to hold them into the socket so a little bit of glue or any kind of piece of cloth. I just have a little electrical tape, put it on the bolt head, and stick into the socket. That way your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switch pack. Then line up your switch panel and push it back down into place.
