How do I Replace a Lexus Passenger Window?

Replacing the passenger window on your Lexus is pretty much the same process as replacing the window on any other vehicle. If your window has become damaged or broken it can pose a danger to your passengers. It could also put your vehicle at risk of being stolen. If this occurs you should pick up a replacement window from your local auto store and install it in your Lexus.

Instructions

1

Open up the door of your Lexus which contains the damaged passenger window. Find the screws which hold the door panel in place. Some may be covered by plastic covers. Pry the covers off with a flat head screwdriver and use a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the panel. Lift the panel away from the door.

2

Remove the screws which are fixed to the door handle trim. Pull the door handle away from the door. Unhook the two door handle linkage arms and remove them from the door.

3

Use the screwdriver to remove the screws which are fixed to the speakers in the door. Pull the wiring out of the back of the speakers and remove them from the door.

4

Lower the window regulator to its lowest point within the door panel. Use a wrench to remove the mounting bolts which connect the window regulator to the pane of glass. Lift the glass out of the door frame. If the glass is broken take care that you do not cut your hands on the shards.

5

Place the new window in to the door frame of the Lexus. Reattach the mounting bolts which connect the window to the window regulator. Reattach the rest of the door assembly by following the removal steps in reverse.
