Window repairs 2000 Alero 3400

[zjohn647]

I'm having so many problems with my window regulators in my P.O.S. Alero. The clips break and/or motor problems. Is there anyway to convert power windows to manual crank? Yes, I'm that fed up.

I don't know about converting them, but the clips are available on ebay for $6 per door.

You should only have to do this repair one in the life of the car. It's not hard and there is a great YouTube vid that walks you through it. The whole repair will cost you an afternoon and about $100.00 total.

This clip and window reg. issue usually only happens in cold weather when the rain seal freezes to the glass. Or in areas of salt spray or sea air.

When I bought our Alero for my son's first car we later noticed that each of the doors had a broken clip. I changed those clips and all was good. Later both of the clips broke on the drivers door and I again changed both of them. Just last week I again I had 2 broken clips on the drivers door and 1 on the passenger door. Instead of changing them I used heavy wire and wired the broken clips together on both sides and they should never come apart again. I also had changed the Window Regulator on the drivers side after the 1st time both clips broke. This is just crazy....
