Step 1: Remove the handle frame. Locate the seam of the handle frame and insert an IC card, then gently pull outward. Step 2: Remove the triangular cover inside the rearview mirror. If this isn't removed, the door trim panel cannot be taken out later. Pull upward firmly from the bottom. Step 3: Remove the center control panel. After removal, place the panel aside as it will be temporarily needed later when lowering the window. There is a plastic screw on the side and three metal screws at the bottom. After removing the screws, pull outward from the bottom, then lift upward to remove. Be careful with the control rod and don't pull too far.
Removing and installing the Wuling Hongguang S window regulator is actually a meticulous job. First, prepare basic tools like a Phillips screwdriver, pry bar, and gloves—safety first, never work with live electricity. The first step is to remove the door trim panel, usually by carefully prying open the edge clips with the pry bar. Avoid using excessive force to prevent breaking or scratching the plastic panel. Once you locate the securing screws, unscrew them and pull off the trim panel to expose the window regulator mechanism. The regulator is typically connected to a steel cable and motor—disconnect the power wires and securing screws, handling gently to avoid damaging the wiring. After removing the old regulator, compare and install the new part in the original position, tighten the screws, reconnect the wiring, reattach the trim panel, and test the window's smooth operation. The whole process takes about half an hour, but remember to check the vehicle manual first to confirm the locations. Regular cleaning of the door tracks is recommended to reduce malfunctions. Additionally, window regulators in vehicles like Wuling wear out quickly—inspecting them every six months can save you from costly repairs.
