I am attempting to replace my drivers side window regulator on my 72' Blazer, but cant seem to get the old one out or the window off the track for that matter. Does anyone know the trick?!?!

window regulator on 72 Blazer
- Thread starter MiamibeachK5

If I remember right, you have to take the rear track out. Then you can slide the Window backwards and get the rollers out of the track (when the window is half way up). Then you fish it out of the door and then can unscrew the regulator and get it out.
The first time I did it it was very confusing until I figured it out. Then it seemed very obvious to me.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks so much guys. What do you mean by wing track? I assume it's the 'front' track?

I always pull the wing window and track out first, then like said roll up halfway and you should see how to move the window to pull the roller out.

But the window comes off the track BEFORE the regulator is unscrewed, correct?

- Lower glass completely, remove the window regulator handle and the door lock knob.
- remove the door armrest and trim panel.
- remove the ventilator assembly.
- Slide the main window glass forward until the front roller is in alignments with the notch in the sash channel. Disengage the roller.
- Push the window forward and tilt the front edge up until the rear roller is disengaged.
- return the window glass to the level position and withdraw it from the door.
The above is from a chiltons manual so use at your own risk. But last time I did the regulator removal I did remove the window first.

What is the wind wing more commonly known as the vent window?
