The replacement method for the Magotan window regulator is: 1. Remove the car door panel; 2. Tear off the waterproof film on the door to expose the window regulator, then proceed with replacement. Taking the 2020 Magotan as an example, it belongs to the mid-size sedan category with body dimensions of: length 4865mm, width 1832mm, height 1471mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, and curb weight 1445kg. The 2020 Magotan features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine delivering maximum horsepower of 150ps, maximum power of 110kw, maximum torque of 250nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I once replaced the window regulator on my Magotan myself, and the whole process required some patience and tools. First, prepare a Phillips screwdriver, wrench, and a new regulator kit—I recommend buying genuine parts from Taobao or the 4S shop. Then, disconnect the battery’s negative terminal to prevent electric shock, carefully remove the screws and clips on the door panel, and avoid damaging the plastic parts. Next, unscrew the fixing screws of the old regulator, disconnect the wiring, remove it, and replace it with the new one, making sure to align it properly and tighten the screws. Before testing the new regulator, ensure the wiring is properly connected and then reassemble the door panel. The whole process took me about two hours—remember to check if the window moves smoothly without strange noises. If the window sticks, you may need to lubricate the guide rails. Finally, don’t forget to reconnect the battery and test the car lock function to avoid any mishaps. This DIY can save you a few hundred bucks, but if you’re inexperienced, I’d suggest watching online tutorials or asking a friend for help first.
Replacing the window regulator for a Magotan is something I've handled quite a few times at the shop. The first step is diagnosing the issue—determining whether it's the regulator that's faulty or if it's a motor problem. The method is straightforward: start by removing the door trim, being careful not to apply excessive force when unscrewing to avoid damaging the door panel clips. Next, unplug the wiring harness, remove the old regulator, and align the new regulator's track during installation to prevent misalignment. Test the window's up-and-down movement immediately after installation—if it operates smoothly, reassemble the trim. A key reminder: always disconnect the battery before replacement to prevent short circuits, and check for any water leaks or rust inside the door, addressing minor issues promptly. The entire process takes about an hour, but beginners often overlook safety details, such as keeping fingers out of gaps during testing. If the regulator fails frequently, it might indicate an electrical issue—check the alternator voltage. Professional repairs cost more but are more reliable, especially for those unfamiliar with the tools.
