  Q: How to replace the front side door window regulator on Cadillac Catera?

  A:

  Replacement of the front side door Window Regulator begins by disabling the sir system if present and continuing with the window descent to half position and temporary fixation using tape. The first task involves removing the front door trim panel together with the front door water deflector. Remove the inflatable restraint side impact sensor mounting plate whenever it is present. The power Window Regulator motor electrical connector gets disconnected before taking out the guide rail adjuster. The drilling of rivets enables the extraction of front door Window Regulator components along with motor pieces. The front door Window Regulator requires motor screw removal followed by its detachment from the motor unit. When installing the motor ensure the Window Regulator links to the motor components before tightening all nuts to 5 nm (45 lb in). Place back the front door Window Regulator along with motor before installing new rivets onto the regulator framework. Screw the guide rail adjuster into place together with the power Window Regulator motor electrical connector. Front door water deflectors must be installed prior to the front door trim panel when the inflatable restraint side impact sensor mounting plate is present on the vehicle. After removing the tape from the window it is necessary to activate the sir system when applicable.
