ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
1. Power window motor and window regulator assembly 

installation procedure

CAUTION

Do not operate the power window motor until the glass 
installation is finished.

(1) Connect the power window motor to the body-side 

harness connector, and then turn on the ignition switch.

(2) Continue to pull the power window switch until the power 

window motor stops.
NOTE: Power window motor stops automatically and the 
limit switch incorporated in the power motor will be reset.

(3) Turn off the ignition switch, and then remove window 

motor from the body-side harness connector. 

(4) Align the power window motor drive shaft and the square 

hole in the drum by the following procedure, while using 
the guide and the opening in the motor housing as a 
reference for the installation position.

a. Align the square hole with the drive shaft by sliding the 

glass bracket (glass mounting section) or by turning 
the drum using a ratchet wrench [with a socket 
diameter of 12.7 mm (0.50 inches)].

b. Turn the drum to position the glass bracket as shown 

in the illustration. Support the drum and the guide with 
your hand while turning the drum, otherwise the wires 
may pull out of the drum.

c. If the wires pull out of the drum, re-insert them by 

following the drum and regulator wire installation 
procedure.

(5) Align the guide and the opening of the motor housing, 

and slide the guide into the motor housing while holding 
the guide and drum.

CAUTION

Make sure that the metal cover is installed securely and 
does not move, in order to stop the drum from vibrating. If 
the drum vibrates, the glass may not slide up and down 
smoothly, or it may fall down.

(6) install the metal cover securely to housing.

2. Drum and regulator wire installation procedure

(1) Place the drum, guide and regulator on a work bench as 

shown in the illustration.
a. Place the drum so that the square hole is facing 

upward.

b. Place the guide so that the slits are facing upward.
c. Place the regulator so that the glass bracket is facing 

downward. Position the glass bracket so that glass is 
in the fully-open position.

(2) Pass the springs over the wires, and then install the 

lowering wire to the guide first, followed by the lifting wire. 
(The lifting wire should be on top of the lowering wire.)

(0.02 inches) diameter] to compress the springs, and 
then tie the narrow-gauge wire a to the slits in the guide.

(4) Insert the end of the lowering wire into the wire hole at 

the bottom of the drum, and then wrap the bottom so that 
there is no slackness in the wire.

(5) Install the lifting wire to the drum as following:

a. Insert the end of the lifting wire into the wire hole at the 

top of the drum.

b. Raise the front of the drum until the drum is vertical, 

and then position the lifting wire in the groove of the 
drum.
