Repairing and Replacing Car and Truck Window Regulators
The window regulator is the unit that controls the raising and lowering of the window glass. It is usually mounted inside the door frame. Older vehicles included manual regulators that required a hand crank to adjust the window. With the rotation of the hand crank, the windows were moved up and down. With the modernization of vehicles where almost all parts are operated automatically, window regulators are no exception to this. Recent vehicles include power regulators that can be operated by the press of a switch.
The basic design of a power regulator is almost similar to that of a manual regulator. Some vehicles have individual controls situated below each of the passenger windows, allowing the passengers to adjust the power windows on their own. Whereas, some automobiles have a window regulator system that allows the driver to adjust the power windows. We REPAIR and REPLACE Car/Truck Window Regulators.
