If you are a moderately experienced DIYer, then you can handle the job of replacing your Kia window regulator. The easiest part of this job is ordering a new set from our site. Be assured that you will receive quality parts that can stand up to the stress of heat, cold, moisture and dirt. Unfortunately, the hardest part of the task is taking apart the door panel to get to the window regulator. The job requires patience and an eye for detail. Be aware and careful about the loaded springs and levers in your door panel; they can easily remove a digit. One hint: map out or mark the position of all the components of the door panel before removing them. You can buy some special tools to help you pry open the panel, but most of the work can be done with the basic tool set that most home mechanics already own. To take apart the door panel, first remove the lower and upper door trim panels. You also need to unplug any wires leading to power accessories like the power window switches, door locks and remote mirror controls. Remove the stereo speakers or amps. Then, peel back the weather seal, which can be attached with duct tape when you put the door back together again. After installing the new regulator set, spray all the parts and the window channel with a silicon lubricant. You will lengthen the life of the regulator parts, including the gasket and channel, by protecting them from the damaging effects of rain and dirt.
