How can anybody possibly replace these without cutting the doors apart. I need to put one from my 95 in my 88 bronco and only one screw of three is possible to get to.

 

Take out the regulator with it.

 

That sounds like more of a PITA

 

Ithink you have to grind off the rivets and then replace them with bolts

 

Well, that's how it's done.

 

I don't know if the '88 is configured the same as the '92, but if so, check this youtube video out. It was really helpful when I replaced my window motors. It works exactly as the guy in the video says. Drilling a couple of 1/2" holes gets you right to the mounting bolts for the motors on both sides. You'll just have to get past his review of clearance deals at his local Ace hardware.... but after that, you're golden.


P.S. for the whole job there are three videos

 

Lazarus is right drill two 1/2" holes in the dimples in the door to get to the other two bolts. I did one in my 92 the other day took longer to replace the plastic plugs that to get the motor off. Just be sure to tape the window up to keep it from moving the regulator.

 

Agreed. Drilled the dimples on my '90 passenger door last week and it made simple work of replacing the inside gear.

 

I drilled them. Should have been that way from the factory. But Sean is right removing the regulator is the "proper" procedure.

 

Ill have to look when i get home. Ill prolly drill them
