94-04 Mustang window motor fix without pulling the window regulator assembly
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This video is a quick rundown of a common issue on Sn95-New Edge mustangs and window motors shearing the bushings inside. I did not see any info on how to remove just the motor and the details showing the inside of the motor, so I wanted to take this opportunity to film it.
Please again excuse the video quality and remember to follow on Instagram @PMperformance

Thanks mate, it helped me a lot. I just have one complaint, I believe the pulling the rivets wasn't necessary. It does nothing with the motor, those hold the regulator up, not the motor. You only need those 3 golden bolts out. It sucked to struggle on those rivets, so I figured I'd tell you and whoever else sees this. Thank you, though.

Thanks for posting this video. I have a 94 GT that the window was doing exactly what you said. Jerky coming down and doesn't roll all the way up. I removed the 3 bolts. Pulled out the motor, removed the cover plate and all the bushings were toast. I bought some new nylon bushing from Ace hardware for 50 cents, cleaned everything up. Greased it and boom. It's like brand new. Your video was most helpful in how to remove the motor and get the cover plate off. Thanks dude!!!!

Beto Comales yes just remove the 3 bolts holdimg the motor in. I believe they are 8mm. Then the motor just falls down, unclip the harness and take it out.

HorsePlay Motoring good luck! Just remember key points I found later. 1. No need to drill the rivets out 2. Don’t use nuts. Use the original bearings or something round. Else you risk it locking up.
this helped so much kept putting it off cause i thought i had to take everything apart until i found this video thanks!!!

Very good idea. The 10mm nuts will hang up as they loose position once installed.
Great video, but you did a step that was not necessary. Reloving those two rivets on the door is not needed. Just remove the three bolts, and the motor will be able to be removed. Other than that, this helped greatly to repair both my 95 GT’s door windows. I didnt use nuts for fear if something ever blocked the window from going up, it would shatter and cost more money/time. I used what was supposed to be the factory plastic replacement. However, had to slightly modify the diameter of it to fit properly. Not a difficult fix with a dremel tool.

Ron Jones yea I realized that after the fact. I was winging it and recording. I have since updated the body of the video stating this. Thanks for watching and hope you find value in the videos.
The rubber bushings are like a fuse and designed to prevent injuries when an arm or neck gets stuck in the window. I agree Ford did a lousy job of designing this because most fail, but I would never suggest replacing them with nuts like you did in the video. I know you may not have kids now, but predicting what happens tomorrow is impossible including what happens after the car is sold. Its like replacing a fuse with a piece of metal and then wondering why the house burned down 2 years later. Because of the high failure, replacements are cheap and the entire assembly can be had for under $30

HorsePlay Motoring Lol, funny how a few years can change. I will say on the safety thing though, I replaced the motor with a NOS oem unit a year later. The flanged nuts I was using was causing the motor to lock up
Too repair the window drive cogs go to Ace hardware they have them in there bolt section they are the small cogs for 3 bucks your good to go as they have holes in the center of them the cogs but work great
I just took mine out to perform this task as my window keeps sticking in the fully down position. The motor looked like new inside.... so, the problem lies elsewhere. Any suggestions?

Steven 1 and 0 happened to me too after awhile. I replaced this since. If you use the nuts with the flanges they hang up and lock it up. Tap with a hammer and screw driver and it breaks it loose again

7/16 ball bearings instead of nuts. The nuts get hung up.
I got everything off but i couldn't push out the motor. It was stuck and i was stumped So i put it all back together and now the window motor is making lots of noise but no window moving. Before it made no noise and no movement

You probably bumped some of the loose bushing around and it atleast is moving the motor now. You will still need to get the motor out and take it apart. Do all those steps except for drilling out the rivet and just need to guide it out
Not sure if anyone will see this, but I’ve got an 04 mustang and it doesn’t have the bolts to detach the motor. Whatever is holding it in seems to have been attached on the other side, and it doesn’t feel like they’re bolts I could unscrew anyway. I am totally at a loss as to how my motor is even attached. Has anyone else seen anything like that?
@PMPerformance

Are you sure? The tracks on yours should be the same and have the same 3 bolts. Ignore the part about the rivets.
Loosen 9/16 bolts in door frame to allow room to slide new motor in. Otherwise everything else is good.
it works but not great window jams up

carter bigelow so mine did start doing that later on as well. Many months after this fix. I had to nail the motor for it to unlock. My logic is that the flanged nuts I used were causing that. Long story short, my suggestion is doing something more rounded in place of nuts.
I haven’t had time to install the new seals
I know it says 94-04 but will this actually work on 97 mustang? cuz I seen another video and said something about a spring that holds something in place for motor??

I would, but I do not have a reason to pull the panels again. Basically, all you do is unscrew the door cup, and pop out the handle cover. Once that is done run your finger around the back of the door and pop each panel plug to get the door panel loose. Then just lift the door panel up out of the window track.

@@carloshuertas8101 Its not bad man. If you are remotely mechanically inclined you can do it. Door panels are for the most part the same. Just when you pull out the window switch panels, pull gently from the top to pop them out. Thats the only part you gotta watch for because they are normally broken. I have another video showing how to pop those out if you look under the SN95 playlist. It was right around June/July time frame-
