Power Window Regulator Repair in San Diego

The window that will not move.

The regulator is the mechanism that lifts your window; the motor drives it. When either fails, the window drops, grinds, stops partway or does nothing at all. We replace the failed part at your curb, same-day in most cases.

Regulator or motor: how to tell.

If you hear the motor run but the glass does not move, or moves crookedly, the regulator has failed: a frayed cable, a broken clip or a bent arm. If you press the switch and hear nothing, the motor is usually the problem, though a fuse or switch can do the same thing. The technician checks all of it before replacing anything.

The repair.

Door panel off, glass secured, failed regulator or motor out, new one in. The glass is re-seated in the track and the window is cycled to check alignment and speed. Then the door is resealed and the panel goes back on. On most vehicles the whole thing happens in your driveway.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about power window regulator repair.

Is a regulator repair covered by insurance?
Usually not. It is a mechanical part, not glass damage, so it is a cash job quoted on the phone. If the glass was broken in the same event, that part is a comprehensive claim.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the vehicle and whether it is the regulator, the motor or both. We quote it once we know the year, make and model.
Can you do it at my house?
Yes. Regulator and motor work is a mobile job anywhere in San Diego County at no extra cost.
Is my glass damaged if it fell into the door?
Usually not. We re-seat it. If it cracked on the way down, a door glass replacement is done in the same visit.
