in place of the push washers, I've made my own out of plastic from a milk jug, just drill a hole one size smaller than the bolt and thread it on

Great idea!!

Nice job! I have a 1995 Ford E-250 Van that needs this exact repair and I found this video extremely helpful. Thanks for posting!

Just so you know there's usually dimples in the door if not you can figure out where the bolts are in the motor drill half inch holes remove the motor without taking out the regulator way easier that way I've done hundreds of them

this guy should charge money for this video. thanks SO much for the video.

8-3-21 and this is still a very informative video. Thanks for the help. mine went smooth after watching this!

I did this on one side. It kinda sucked. When I did the second one I left the regulator in the van. Don't drill thr rivets out. Drill 3 1/2" holes to remove the bolts that hold the motor. Mine did not have dimples where the holes go, but I used step drills and was able to 'wallow' the holes to match the bolts. It came out pretty clean and much time saved.

Great job! That Ford van sure is a very clean. I have done a lot of window regulators and I have to explain those cuts on my forearm and wrists lol! That's really cool you can get all the replacement parts and still use the original window motor.

Hey-Great how to. Just did mine with a low cost motor with your help. Had I seen your video before buying the motor, I'd have rebuilt mine. The aftermarket one is less than half the size of the OEM. I'll still rebuild the original for a spare. Thanks

In the tutorial you say you used 1 3/4" bolts Did you mean 3/4"? I'm thinking of getting 1/2" Nice video thanks for the help!

No, those bolts in the video were 1-3/4 long before I cut them off..

Thank you

motor clicks but does not engage what do you think the problem is?

I kind of wonder why they would use plastic gears since they are probably less durable than brass, possibly it saves the manufacturer money.

Robert Sitch it's supposed to be a sacrificial piece to save the more expensive motor from damage... But mainly cost.. remember They were using nylon gears on the engines timing gears too!

Safety, that is why. If someone gets an arm or their head stuck in the window path, the plastic will be crushed and the motor will just free wheel instead of harming the person, pet or what have you. Also will keep motor from overheating and catching fire. 😁

I don't hear anything when I hit the switch, my window is stuck down and with the panel off I can't force it up to get it out of the way!

Nice👍
