HOW TO REMOVE YOUR DOOR LOCK MODULE
1. I had some free time and all the necessary pics, so I put this DIY
together. Hope it's useful to someone.
REPLACING THE FRONT DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR CLIPS
AND/OR DOOR LOCK MODULE The following DIY outlines the procedure for removing the window
regulator carrier panel, replacing the window regulator clips and the
door lock module on a !I" #etta $some steps may also apply to a
!I" %olf&%TI as well. The procedure was (ased on a )).* #etta %+
"- with power windows / it may (e slightly di0erent on later models
and on those with manual windows. lease do these procedures at
your own risk and (e ready to make small ad2ustments while doing
them. 3lso, please (e o(servant while removing parts so that they go
(ack together correctly.
The window regulator clips used in this DIY were purchased fromI45 and were part of a 6indow -egulator -epair !it. The kit comes
with four clips $two for the left door and two for the right door and
one ca(le&take/up reel assem(ly $only needs to (e used if the e7isting
ca(les are damaged / this part is not a redesigned&upgraded piece.
There are two versions of the kit, depending on which ca(le assem(ly
you need. "6 part8 1#/9)9/:1/3 comes with the ca(le assem(ly
for the left door and "6 part8 1#/9)9/:;/3 comes with the ca(le
assem(ly for the right door. The kit should cost esides

The part8s for the lock modules are door speci@c and may also vary(etween model and year. ake sure you o(tain the correct parts for
your vehicle.
The tools needed to replace the window regulator clips and&or door
lock module are a Aat/head screwdriver, a hillips screwdriver, T;=
and TB= Tor7 drivers, a 1=mm socket $wrench or driver, an 9mm
triple sCuare tool, a rag, a sheet or (lanket and a roll of duct tape. 3
drill and a set of (its $not sure e7actly what sie (it can also (e used
during the procedure to disconnect the door lock module from the
carrier panel. Doing so reduces the num(er of steps necessary to
remove the carrier panel from the door $more detail on this is given
(elow. If you are replacing the door lock module and do not use the
drill to disconnect the door lock module from the carrier panel, you'll

also need a small punch to push out the plastic rivets that secure the
door lock module to the carrier panel. This is the recommended
method since the rivets are not destroyed and can (e reused when
reinstalling the carrier panel on the door.
Einally, the procedure should take (etween 1 and B hours, depending
on e7perience. I have done the procedure $replacing the windowregulator clips four times and this most recent time it took me ;.*
hours, mostly (ecause I spent a lot of time taking pics and notes
a(out the procedure for this DIY. If I hadn't (een taking pics and
notes, it would have taken (etween 1 and 1.* hours.
(Note: The procedure below is for the front passenger's door
specically. The procedure for the driver's side door is nearly
identical, except that the parts are a mirror image of those of the
passenger's door. pecic di!erences between the passenger's and
driver's door (very few" will be mentioned in the text.
The procedure below assumes that the window clips have notcompletely failed and that the window still wor#s (moves up and
down with full range of motion". $f your clips have failed and the
window has fallen into the door, the procedure will be slightly
di!erent. $ will try to address these di!erences in the text.
%lso, a few of the pictures were ta#en on a previous occasion (when
the driver's door clips were replaced" so there may be slight
di!erences in the colors of parts and of the bac#grounds. &lease
ignore any continuity inconsistencies. $f you follow the procedure as
written using the pictures as a reference, you should not have any
problems completing the procedure."

1;. If the regulator clips fail and the window falls into the door, it can
(e diKcult to remove the carrier panel since the window often 'gets inthe way'. If possi(le, try to remove the window from the door
completely. This almost de@nitely reCuires the help of a second
person. 3ttempt to pull the window up (y its top edge. If you can
raise the window nearly out of the door, it pro(a(ly means that (oth
clips have de@nitely failed. Try to raise the window so that the clips
can (e seen through the access holes descri(ed in step 9. If this is
possi(le, remove the 1=mm (olts, as descri(ed in step 1= and slide
the clips o0. Gnce the clips are o0, remove the window from the door
(y pulling it up and out of the door. This is easiest if you rotate the
rear edge out @rst and pivot the window around the lower front cornertoward the front of the car. The window should come out of the door
easily. If you're successful in doing this, put the window aside in a
safe place. If you are not a(le to remove the window from the door
$(ecause it wasn't possi(le, not (ecause you didn't try, it may mean
that one of the regulator clips is still fully or partially intact. If this is
the case, you may have to improvise a little during later steps to
remove the carrier panel. I can't (e more speci@c a(out this pro(lem,

This (racket makes it signi@cantly easier to replace the regulator clips and is
why "6 supplies it with the new ca(le&take/up reel assem(ly. It is still
possi(le to change the regulator clips without the (racket, (ut doing so

possi(le to do the procedure on (oth clips at the same time, (ut doing it on

another pulley to create some more slack in the ca(le. If it's still not possi(le
to remove the clips, you can always remove the ca(le from around all of the
pulleys / this should allow you to move the clips fully up or down the window

1. If you are replacing the ca(le&take/up reel assem(ly, remove the old
assem(ly from the carrier panel $it should 2ust pop o0 and then install the
new one in the same spot. >efore doing so, take notice of how the ca(les
coming out of the ca(le&take/up reel assem(ly are routed. 6hen installing
the new assem(ly, make sure to route the ca(le that comes out of the top of
the assem(ly underneath the diagonal ca(le (etween the top front and(ottom rear pulleys. Gnce this is done, reinstall the window regulator motor
on the front side of the carrier panel. If you are not replacing the ca(le&take/
up reel assem(ly, go directly to step 19.
19. >efore installing the ca(les into the new/design clip (ody, make sure
that you have the correct clip for whatever door and window track you are
working on. The four regulator clips $(oth new and old are all di0erent and
will only work on their corresponding window track. The new clips are
la(eled with a code that indicates the door and window track that the clip
should (e installed on. '+' and '-' indicate that the clips are for the left and
right doors, respectively. '3' and '>' indicate that the clips are for the front$towards the front of the car when the carrier panel is installed on the door

should (e installed on the right door on the rear window track. imilarly, a
clip with the code '+/3' should (e installed on the left door on the front
window track. 3lso, (efore installing the ca(les on the new clip, make sure
to loosen the TB= Tor7 screw on the clip so that the window will slide into it
easily later on. Do not remove the (olt completely / only loosen it.

;B. If you did not remove and replace (oth regulator clips at the same time
$for whatever reason, remove and replace the regulator clip on the other
window track (y following steps 1; through ;;.
;:. Gnce (oth regulator clips have (een replaced, it's time to reinstall the
regulator ca(le on the pulleys. ake sure that the ca(le is installed correctly
on three of the four pulleys and then use a screwdriver to pop the ca(leonto the fourth and @nal pulley. ake sure that the ca(le guide $indicated (y
the yellow arrow in the picture (elow / there is one for each pulley is in
position. This procedure should (e relatively easy if the steel spring (racket
is in place on the ca(le&take/up reel assem(ly. If it is not, you'll need to
compress the springs on the assem(ly (y hand to provide enough slack for
the ca(le to (e installed on the @nal pulley. It helps to have a second person
compress the springs while you install the ca(le on the pulley. Lewer pulleys
have a cam pulley molded on top of each ca(le pulley which can (e used to
assist in reinstalling the ca(les if need (e $orry. I don't have a picture. To
use the cams, install the ca(le on one or more of the cams instead ofdirectly on the main pulleys / use as many cams as necessary to provide
enough slack to get the ca(le on all four cams&pulleys. Gnce the ca(le is in
place on the four cams&pulleys, pull down or push up on the two regulator
clips simultaneously. This will force the clips to move and will cause the
ca(les to rotate on the cams&pulleys. 3fter moving the clips a short distance,
the cams will pop the ca(le onto the main pulley / move the clips until the
ca(le is correctly installed on all four main pulleys.
