Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to prevent accidental electrical activation. Remove any protective panels or trim pieces covering the window area.

5. Test Operation: Reconnect the battery and operate the window lever or electric switch. Verify smooth movement from fully lowered to fully raised positions without binding or excessive noise.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the regulator periodically for signs of wear, such as loose bolts or frayed cables.
• Apply a light lubricant to the moving parts if you notice any stiffness; avoid over‑lubrication which can attract dust.
• Keep the window track clean by removing debris with compressed air or a soft brush.
• If the window stalls or moves unevenly, check for misalignment of the crank or damaged linkage components.
