Well my dealer wanted me to accept a diagnostic fee($120) so I just bought the screws. $1.57 per screw at the dealer Part #01125-03241

I am not a professional at creating DIY videos and I do not have good editing software. As well as I was by my self when I did this.

If you have any questions please post below ill answer them as best I can.

My skill level so far is Changing my Oil, and installing a Z-Tube. So I think anyone that's just the little bit handy can do this no problem.

You will need

1 hours of time per door
Patience
10mm socket wrench with extension
Blue 242 locktite ($5.99)
Small Flat Head Screw Driver
Box Cutter
Box/Packaging Tape

I want to thank bkd for the help Thanks again!

Hope you enjoyed my DIY!

 

nice diy i think ineed to give this a try when its warm out.

 

Great job!

 

I had taken my car to the dealer get the window noise fixed for free, due to the TSB. They only did one side, then I took it back to get the second side done. They claimed to have done the second side, but the noise was still there. I asked them to send me the parts and I used this write up to change the parts. Once I got into the door it was obvious that they either did not do the job, or they used the wrong bolts.

Great write up! A few suggestions to make it even easier:

Use a plastic paint scraper to remove the silver door trim.
Use a drill to install/remove the screws.
Have this write up nearby when you do this.

 

Finally performed this DIY after having the bolts for a year. So easy! Thanks to this write up it only took me half an hour from start to finish for the whole job. No more window creaking. Thank you sir!

 

I've been browsing the forums for a little over a month now since I purchased my G and had this issue. The dealership was quoting $250 to fix both doors. Thanks to your DIY you saved me $225. I figure that'd be worthy of a first post.

Thanks a lot, took me around 1 hour to complete both doors.

 

Had my door replaced as part of the rusty b - pillar extension about a year ago and once I got it back the creaking was horrible. Today I opened it up, removed the bolts, ground off the non threaded part of the existing bolts, and reassembled. The creaking is gone.

Thanks for the DIY instructions - they made the whole deal easy.

After scratching my door finisher, I read the service manual. It says to pop the finisher loose and then to disconnect the electrical connectors from the back side. The torque specs for the new bolts are 38-52 inch lbs. Thanks for the write up. Scratching the finisher & insert sucked, but it was great getting rid of that annoying noise.

Thanks for the tutorial. Easy-peasy upgrade. If my dealer had stocked more than two of the bolts I'd have done both doors in under an hour. One more door to do once the dealer restocks.

Also, what kind of dealership only has two regulator bolts??

 

just got done with mine today and it was really easy and quick..thank god no more creaks...next up is my creaking door above the glove box for the navi cd

 

So I have this weird issue where my door closes and locks, but it does not actually seal. Does this fix that?
