Changing a window regulator is relatively long. Depending on your experience in the field, plan about two o'clock to make sure you have the necessary time. Whether on a Toyota Aygo or on another car, this repair is for experienced DIY enthusiasts. So let's see how to do it, point by point.

Removing a window regulator on a Toyota Aygo

  • Remove the window regulator seals from your Toyota Aygo. Again, it's wiser to go about it carefully.
  • Now that you have accessed the window regulator, disconnect the connectors. You can then remove the motor from the window regulator if it is ever blocked.
  • Remove all the clips that hold the glass, then pull the glass out. It is sometimes more judicious to position the window halfway up to perform this manipulation. Obviously you have to be very careful when moving the window. It is better to put it on a rather thick sheet.
  • Remove the window regulator as a whole. It is wiser to memorize its location well. You can take a picture of it if it helps you attach the new window regulator. The window regulator is sometimes held by screws or rivets, so you have to remove them.

  • Connect the connectors.
  • Replace the seals you removed.
  • Reassemble the door trim assembly.
