How to replace a door window on a 1995 Dodge Dakota pickup truck?

Answer 1

you take out the busted one and put a new one in Assuming its similar to a Durango here is how it is done: Answer That answer leaves a little to be desired. Actually, the cables for the power window run around inside the door on plastic guides and they sometimes break. I had to take mine to the dealer as they cannot be repaired and the power window system is one unit. Good luck! I've had three of these go bad on my 2001 Durango. Its never the motor and always the plastic guides or regulator as said above. I have found one dealer that did sell just the regulator without the motor but for most its all or nothing $300. If Dodge does it your looking at $600. They sell the entire regulator/motor assembly at discount auto $97.00 or pep boys $120.00 and the parts fit exactly. If you've never done this its probably best to go buy the part first so you can see what it looks like because you cant see it even with the door panel off. This will also give you an idea where the screws are for the old regulator/motor. Remove the door panel along with the white plastic sound proofing membrane if installed. Then you need to lower window down 3/4 of the way so you can remove the screws that hold the window to the mechanism. Then pull the window up by hand and secure up with block of wood in door or use a rubber door stop between window and door frame to keep in place. DO NOT LET WINDOW FALL. Then remove four screws that hold regulor guide in place, you will also need to remove 3 screws from motor. If the motor is riveted in place you will need to drill these out first ( replace with screws on reassembly that come with new mechanism). Disconnect electrical plug from motor and reach inside door panel and rotate entire assembly towards the back of the vehicle to get it out the tiny hole. It will fit through as assembled. Installation of new unit is basically the opposite except after you have the regulator and motor installed with screws, reconnect the electrical plug so you can lower the window clamp into position (about 3/4 down). Then remove wood or stopper from window and lower by hand into positon of the regulator clamp. Secure with two screws and your done. Takes less than an hour. == == Try this link.
