Hey gang,

Just helping out my sister in law with her TJ Series 2 Exec power window. I pulled door apart, seems the circular bit that houses all the steel cable is frayed and knackered there. I presume I need to remove the two bolts up top, the 3 holding hte reg and hte two at the bottom to remove that entire peice. Do you separated the glass first, ie unbolt that and remove? Guessing thats a yes.

Also, I'll head out to u pull it, can a different model go in, ie TL, TW?

Or does it have to be purely TJ?

Anything else I should know regarding this job?

Thanks peeps!

you will be lucky enough to find a TJ let alone a TL/TW at u-pull-it.

I may be wrong ,but i don't reckon the window mechanisms would have changed much over the years,so get what you need to replace and it should be fine .

I was at U-Pull-it-North the other day and there were a few power window Magna's there.

My drivers door window in my ralliart was busted needed a new regulator got one from another model TE i think i assume there all the same shouldnt matter which model just make sure its for the drivers door.

Same thing happened with my tj s2. Just went to mal to get it done. Window does have to come out first

Hey gang, thanks for the replies. I'll try my luck at u-pull it. Might even ring Mitsi to get idea of a new one and its price.

Just took some photos yesterday too. I presume per the photos you remove the top 2 bolts, the 3 bolts around the regulator and of course the two bolts at the bottom and then the (what appears to be 2 bolts) holding up the glass and it should all fall out.
