Hey, guys. It's Matt with bleepinjeep.com. Today we're going to do a quick DIY and Drive tutorial with Pull-A-Part. Let's get started. So I want to show you how to remove a door glass from a vehicle. Now, this sits inside of a track inside the door and it can be pretty complicated if you don't know what you're doing. Let me show you how it's done.
So the first thing you need to do is remove the panel. I've got another video on that if you need a lot of detail, but it's pretty simple. You just take some screws out, you pop the plastic clips on the back there, and then you lift, usually up and to the right, and it slides right off. Under there, you might find some electrical connections attached to that panel, so just disconnect those and disconnect those little plastic clips and peel those off. The next thing we need to do is just pull this off. It's glued, so we're just going to peel this back so we can get inside the door. Now, you can keep this and it might come in handy when you get home to seal up your door. This basically just keeps air and water out.
OK, so the window rides on a track. It's kind of like a chain system that pushes it up and down. Now, you'll notice that the window is rolled up. If you had a manual window, it wouldn't be a problem. You could just roll it up and down however you like, but with an electric window it's a little bit more difficult. Here is my solution to that problem. Just take yourself a battery from a cordless drill, this one happens to be a Ryobi, and put some tape, electrical tape, around the top. I've got two alligator clips, one on each side, that's touching the positive and negative.
OK, so with the other two, we're going to connect that to the motor. Now, what you do is you just take your knifeI found the motor, the motor is sitting right back here, and I found the wires that are coming out of the motor and I just stripped some of the insulation off of those wires. Now, I'm going to hotwire that motor. If you want it to go down, you do it that way. If you want it to go up, you just switch these around and go up. There's only two wires, so either one is going to go down, one is going to go up and that's all there is to it. Now, we want to get this, the glass, out, because that's going to give us access to getting the window regulator out. You're going to have to take the glass off first. So let's pull this back down. Those are the bolts that we need to get to. All right, now the glass is free and we'll pull it up to the top. While the glass is down, go ahead and remove as much of this weather stripping as you can. That'll help get the glass out easier. Now, let's go ahead and pull it up through.
There you go. Here's your piece of glass. All right guys, thank you for watching. Now remember, when you're pulling parts, be courteous to the other guys and don't break what other people might want. We'll see you next time.
