crew cab rear window motor repair help.
#16
Yea, I'm in the same situation as you. My rear door started making a funny noise from the window and now it stopped functioning. I ordered a new gear set from rockauto, but I was wondering how to get the dang motor out. Thanks for this write up. I thought I was going to have to get a rivet gun and drill the door handel plate rivets and who knows what else.
I'll give mine a try now. Thanks.

Video on how to do window regulator repair
I know this thread is super old (and probably dead), but in searching for how to fix my rear window (likely wiring tho') - I came across this YouTube video on how to fix (or replace) the driver's window regulator. It too had hidden bolts.
What I found helpful was the information about the factory dimples (giving you a hint on where to drill) - and the footage of the bushing replacement was cool too. All video credit goes to "ShadowRider460".
Just responding here in case the next person searching for it stumbles across it.
Thanks,

Only on the front doors are there dimples. I've never seen them on the rear doors before.
Anyway, heres the pictures. I got it all fixed now.
My son drilled these three extra holes while I was in the house trying to get warm and drink some coffee this morning. I just had to guess where to drill the ones to the left and right so I could get to the screws.
Have someone else hold the window up while your arm is in there pulling the motor out or else. It hurts.
Once you got the motor out this is what it will look like.
There will either be a single screw or a little plastic rivet like on this one that you need to remove then take the cover off.
Here's what the mess inside looks like when the little plastic bushings are all chewed up.
There is one small snap ring to remove then you can take this part out and then remove the plastic gear. Watch out for the little thrust washer on the metal part so you don't lose it. Blow out all the old grease and plastic junk real good from all the other parts and lube it lightly. I use moly assembly lube. It's always worked for me.
Here's what the new bushings are supposed to look like. Sortof. I made these in a hurry the other day out of some scrap delrin I had under my lathe and I couldn't find my cutoff tool so I hacksawed them to length. I know, ugly but it works.
Now just put the metal piece back on and the snap ring then the cover and the single screw to hold the cover on and put it back on the truck. It's real easy once you have the motor off. And a whole lot cheaper than an entire new motor. In my case the repair didn't cost me squat.
