Replacing a driver window regulator - same as Grand Prix?

Post by motorcitybuick »

I have a 2002 Bonne and need to replace the drivers side power window regulator/motor. Is it the same basic install as in a Grand Prix?

I searched youtube and came across this video:

Is it pretty much exactly the same, except the bolt locations?

It looks pretty simple from the video.

Also, are all of the regulator assemblies on ebay the way to go (or is one preferred over another)? They seem to be under $50. Or is there a better source in the same price range?

Any other tips?

I replaced the front passenger door, it takes about an hour. You can buy a cheap one, they may make a little more noise and run a little slower then the original but they work. Be sure to seal the watershield well with a bead of silicon sealant when you are done to keep water from leaking into the car.
