How do you replace a power window motor on a 1991 Pontiac Firebird?
1. remove door panel trim. The regulator is riveted to the power window motor, with 3 large rivets. Three other large rivets atatch this whole assy to the inside of the door. It is important to drill out the rivets holding the regulator /and motor to the door, and leaving the motor attached to the regulator, because the regulator has a heavy spring that will be released if the rivets are removed. To separate the regulator and motor you need to drill a hole in the regulator arm, and place a nut and bolt through the hole, at a point that will keep the spring compressed once the motor is removed. Now that the regulator is secure, the rivets on the motor can be drilled out, and motor separated. The new motor needs to be bolted onto the regulator, or riveted. The factory rivets are large, and it is doubtfull you will find such large rivets, or a rivet gun for that purpose, so stick with bolts and nuts. reinstall the complete assy, and again bolt in the whole assy inside the door. bolts and nuts are a real pain in the butt to use in such a confined space, but again rivets of such a large size are hard to find, along with a real large rivet gun. I reccommend using nylon locking nuts so they will not come loose after a certain amount of time and vibration. A set of rubber door stops is also usefull in holding the window glass in the up position while work is being done. You will find a rivet gun that size at Habor Freight cheap china made but will do the trick.
How do you repair a Saturn manual window that won't go down?
It sounds like the window regulator, the thing that makes the window go up and down, has worn out. The only way to fix it is to replace the window regulator, which will require removing the outer door skin...Yes, the outer door skin. The door handle is held on by a couple of plastic pins that you should buy replacements for as they are hard to get out and may not be reusable. You will also require a special tool to remove the retainer nut that holds the glass to the regulator, it sells for about $27 without shipping. You will need a drill to remove the pop-rivets that are holding the old regulator to the door steel. I chose to use small bolts to replace the rivets as the rivet gun to put the size rivets that are required is not cheap, and will not do the smaller, more common pop rivets. If you are looking for new parts, www.autopartspeople.com has an excellent menu and has diagrams showing the parts for most large items. Good luck

2000 GMC Yukon Window slid off track can you fix yourself or how much should it cost to fix?
Chances are, your window came off the track because the regulator is worn out. Most GM cars and trucks have window regulators that are riveted to the inner door panel. To fix it yourself you'll need a Drill with a 1/4 inch bit (or close in size), a hammer, a nail punch or small screwdriver), a Phillips head and flathead screwdriver, and a set of sockets and a ratchet or a wrench set. You'll need to remove the interior door panel and see if the track on the bottom of the glass still has both of the plastic sliders on it. The regulator looks like a big pair of scissors with a small electric motor attached to it. On the ends of each arm are the sliders. If one has fallen out it can be a real pain to keep the window straight. If you want to tackle the job yourself, you'll need to disconnect the wiring harness connected to the window switches and door mirror switches to fully remove the interior trim panel. Next you may find a sheet of plastic that acts as your cars insulation. You will want to carefully remove this because it should be put back on later. There is a strong adhesive holding it on, so if you don't get it off right away, park the car in a sunny spot and let the sun soften it up for an hour or so. once you have that off you can see what your working with. You will need to knock out the centers of the rivets holding the regulator in place. They can be kind of stubborn on some cars, so don't be afraid to give it a few good whacks as long as the window is not in danger if being hit by your swing if you miss. There are usually three or four in the center of the door, and another two toward the left of those if you're working on the driver's side of the car, the opposite side if on the passenger side. Once the centers are knocked out, You will need to drill out the rivets. Be sure you don't drill out the metal on the door panel. Before you drill out the last two you may ant to have someone hold the window glass so the whole thing doesn't drop into the door and break. It may also take some work to get the regulator and glass separated. I have found that its usually best to do the removal with the wondow about halfway down, so you can make the shifts and adjustments to get them apart. Once all the rivets are out and the glass separated, gently lower the glass down so you can remove the rubber trim from the bottom of the window opening and them remove the glass from the door. the regulator will need to be plugged back to the switch and push the button to put the window down. this will make the regulator "flatten" the regulator to its mostnarrow position so you can get it out of the spaces in the door's panel. Once you get that out, just work your way backwards to get it all back to gether. You will need to get yourself a few nuts and bolts that are short enough to fit inside the door trim panel unless you know anyone with a gun big enough to put rivets back in there. And it's not a bad idea to get a locking washer for each of the nuts and bolts. Just test the regulator before putting the panel backon to be sure the bolts aren't hitting the arms, its a good idea to bolt them from the inside and nut the side toward the trim panel to lower the risk of this happening. As for paying a mechanic to do it, The part alone can be up around $100, most mechanics charge right around 50-60 dollars an hour for labor, and its about a 1-2 hour job(closer to one hour) So you can expect between a $150 - 250 bill.
