    Window regulator. Either snapped a cable or stripped the plastic gear in the regulator.

    Is this a easy fix? I know pop the panel off which I suck at for some reason but easy access after that? Ive added power windows to a few cars that came with crank so Ive got decent knowledge on them just everu car is different. Thanks tho. It popped while trying to go up not down and now it wont go down but has all the power to go up. Still sucks

    i haven't done one in my regal yet, but all the ones i have done, you just need to look for the bolts, sometimes they have a hole cut in the inside door skin to get to the bolts, pull the 4 bolts, slide the old one out, put new one in its place, its kinda hard to mess one up, its a pretty straight forward job to do.

    its a 30 minute job if its your first time out.

    Sound like the regulator to you too? Im not sure what the hell I broke. It caught on the rubber track and I tried to force it. Has all the want to go up and will but will only go down quarter of a inch.

    It's the window regulator. The ones in the GP's are ****. I've replaced 4 in mine.

    If you've never done it before, it may take an hour. For me - 15 min. It's easy - you need torx bits to unscrew the door panel.
