I just replaced the window regulator in my 1999 Silverado. It was actually alot easier than I thought it would be.This may be due to the fact the cable on the regulator busted when the window was in the up position (explain later). 1. Take door panel off by prying off with srew driver moldings for outside mirror,around lock,and door handle, then pry up counsel for power locks, windows, and mirror adjustment and disconnect plugs. Remove three screws located behind arm rest handle, inside where counsel was removed, and bottom middle of door panel. Lift panel and pull slighlty towards you. Disconnect courtesy light, and wire to speaker. This may sound like alot but it goes pretty fast. 2. Peel away plastic and loosen window glass clamps (explaination from above, which are accessable when window is in up position). 3. Disconnect wire to motor, and remove 6 bolts holding guide rails and motor. Lift rails slightly to release from little hangers, which come in handy when putting new one in. 4. You should be able to remove entire window regulator at this point. Surprisingly the window stayed in up position when regulator was removed. 5. Before installing new regulator loosen window glass clamps. Install new by first setting guides in place by using the little hangers. Bolt guides and motor, temporarily connect power window switch and carefully raise window regulator until clamps are resting in place under window glass, tighten clamps. Test before putting panel back on. Took about 1 to 2 hours, bought part online www.1Aautoparts.com for $139.00

How do you install a window on a 77' Chevy Malibu?

You have to remove the door trim on the inside of the door. Also remove the window crank handle if it is manual windows. 1. remove the window regulator by unbolting the regulator from the door shell and sliding the window guide arms out of the window channels. 2. You then remove either side or both sides of the vertical window channel that the window goes up and down on. 3. Finally, most of the time you need to remove the window rubber seal that runs horizontally along the bottom of the window opening to get the glass and the regulator channel that is attached to the glass out of the door.
