How to replace the window regulator of Sagitar?

First, remove the plastic shell around the door, unscrew the screws, and also remove the outer door lock. Take off the outer door shell, and then remove the window regulator. When installing, follow the reverse order of removal. Below are the specific details about the window regulator: 1. Nowadays, many car door windows have abandoned the manual crank-style lifting method and generally switched to button-operated electric lifting, which uses an electric window regulator. 2. The electric window regulator used in cars is mostly composed of a motor, reducer, guide rope, guide plate, and glass mounting bracket. 3. The master switch is controlled by the driver to open and close all door windows, while the individual switches on each door handle allow the driver to control the opening and closing of each window separately.
Speaking of replacing the Sagitar's window regulator, I've had some experience with it a few times. The general steps are to first disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent short circuits. Then, remove the door trim panel, which usually has screws and clips—be careful not to break the clips. Next, you'll see the window regulator assembly; remove the mounting screws and unplug the electrical connector. When taking out the old regulator, the window glass might become loose, so I recommend temporarily securing it with tape to prevent it from falling. Install the new part, align it properly, tighten the screws, and reconnect the wiring. Test the window to ensure smooth operation. Once everything works fine, reattach the door panel and reconnect the battery. The whole process takes me about an hour, requiring some common tools like screwdrivers and wrenches. Window regulators often fail due to lack of lubrication on the tracks—adding some grease during replacement can extend their lifespan. If you find it tricky, detailed video tutorials are available online, or you can save hassle by visiting a repair shop.
