Removal and installation the window regulator (Opel Corsa B)

The installation of manual and electric window lift is the same. Electric window lift has electronic control, i.e. when you briefly press the switch (less than 0.4 s) the glass can move in intervals. As a result of pressing the switch for a longer time (longer than 0.4 s) the glass moves automatically until it is fully opened or closed. If the glass above the middle of the window encounters any obstacle, it immediately stops and opens a little. Electric window motors are equipped with an overload switch in case the glass gets jammed, for example, due to icing.

Removal

1. Remove the door trim.

2. Remove the protective film. Make sure that the film does not tear. Seal or replace torn film.
