This guide demonstrates how to replace a broken window regulator in a 1999-2003 Acura TL. If your window regulator can no longer roll up, it may be a sign that it's time for a replacement. While it may be hard to find information about a car over twenty years old, this guide can help fill in those gaps.
Steps in this version may be different from disassembling the driver's side door, as the driver's side door involves additional steps. Alternatively, I have provided notes during the steps to help distinguish the differences and try to assist regardless.
Caution: This repair may be difficult without another set of hands. If possible, get someone to help you to avoid any accidents or injury.
