If your window won't go up or down but you can hear the window motor running and maybe hear
a thump thump sound, chances are it's the nylon gears in the window motor and not the regulator.
The good news is it can be rebuilt quit easily.

You will need to remove the regulator and motor as a unit. This will require you to drill out
the rivets holding the regulator onto the doors inner panel.

You will need:

4 - 1/4 in.-20 x 1/2 in. serrated flange bolts(standard bolts will work)

4 - 1/4 in.-20 self locking nuts(standard nut will work if using thread lock sealer)

1 - 1/4 in.-20 x 2-1/2 in. bolt with nut

1/4 inch drill bit and drill motor

Standard SAE socket set

Phillips head screw driver

Broad flat blade screw driver
