I have a 1997 Jimmy,I need to replace the window rollers,does anyone know if the replacement rollers replace the riveted ones that are stock? And do they just bolt on where the original ones are and then onto the track...any help would be great thanks.

the actual switch to roll your window up, or is it the window motor? window switch is easy. all you have to do is remove door panel and disconnect the connector from the switch and pop it out of the panel and install the new one. window motor, you have to remove panel and there is a metal frame on inside the door that is sometimes riveted. if that's the case, you may need to rivet it after you pop the rivets. or some make a hole around the motor specifically there to replace the motor. shouldn't be a bad job. all you have to do is get in there and see what you got. not that hard of a job.

Replacing the motor itself isn't too difficult. you simply drill out the rivets that hold the old motor in place and remove the motor. Putting it back in is more difficult as you'll need small nuts and bolts that will allow the window to move without catching on them. I tried to find rivets and a rivet gun that were big enough, but never did, so I had to resort to the nut and bolt method to hold the motor back on the bracket. Be careful when you try it out the first time, the nut or bolt may stick out too much and you can break the window when rolling it down.

I am assuming you have a two piece liftgate - correct? If so, pressing the button to open the window part actuates an endgate window release solenoid which disengages the catch, and it sounds like the solenoid is stuck. To repair this, you need to open the entire liftgate, and remove the inside trim panel to get at the solenoid. You can then try manually moving the actuator arm while lubricating the moving parts, and if that doesn't work you will need to replace the solenoid. This will require you to drill out the rivets and replace them after installing the new solenoid..

You would need to take the suspension apart carefully because the spring/torsion bar has tension on it. The factory upper ball joints are riveted so you will need something to cut the rivets off. The aftermarket joints simply just bolt in.

It's common for these to be riveted. You'll need to drill out the rivets, and, on the new motor, use either screws or pop rivets to reattach (do you have a pop rivet gun?).

the driver side is the main source of power 4 the windows. you will need 2 replace the electrical board on the door for the windows. try running a wire from the battery to the fan on the positive. if the fan comes on check the relay. if not bad fan

un-bolt it and pull it out
reversr for installation

The regulator is attatched to the glass using the rivets through plastic disks. You need to drill them out before the glass can be removed.Save the plastic parts for reassembly.Good Luck

it is a 1/4"rivet usualy have to use a big daddy rivet tool to reatach window to track be careful to pull tool toward you slightly when rivet is about to pop the glass may break if you dont to remove the rivet take a small punch & knock the center out of the rivet makes it easy to drill out.good luck from schleck
