Replacing the rear door window lifter (Opel Zafira A)

The operation is shown using the example of replacing an electric window lifter. Replacing a manual window lifter is performed in a similar way (there are minor differences, see text).

To complete the work you will need a drill, a 10 mm diameter drill, a riveter, and 5.2 mm diameter rivets.

Sequence of execution

1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Remove the rear door glass (see "Rear Door Glass - Replacement").

3. If electric windows are installed, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the gearmotor.



4. Using a 10 mm drill, drill out five rivets that secure the window lift mechanism.



5. Remove the window regulator through the lower technological opening of the front door.





The window lifter is a non-separable structure; in the event of a malfunction, it is replaced as an assembly.

6. Install the parts in reverse order.
