Is it very costly to fix a car window regulator?
A window regulator can be found in all most all the vehicles. It is used to move the window up and down. You will come across two types of window regulators called the manual and the “EWR” (electrical window regulators). The manual system uses a hand crank which will have to be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise by the passenger next to the door to raise or lower the window. The electrical system is an automatic system that raises and lowers the window with the press of a button or a switch. The cost of replacing a window regulator depends on a number of factors specially whether it is a manual or an automatic system.
Cost of fixing a Mechanical System:
If it is a manual system (Mechanical window regulator), there will be so many gears different to each other. But this system does not require any kind of electricity from outside. It is not going to be very expensive to fix a mechanical window regulator. To discover the problem the person who is working on it will have to remove the door panel so that he will be able to access the interlocking gears and other components that belong to the window regulator system. The mechanic will have to find out which parts have gone wrong and where the problem is. Normally replacing a broken component is not a very hard job. Those components will be very small and are cheaper.
The biggest job related to fixing a mechanical system is taking the door apart and putting it back together after the window regulator is replaced. This may take a few hours and will cost you from $100 to $500.
Cost of fixing an Automatic Window Regulator:
They enable the window to be moved automatically. The components used in this system is expensive than in the simple mechanical system. Also finding out the fault and repairing them can be difficult. Even though it is difficult to repair, the methods used are somewhat like the same. For example: Taking apart the door. Even if the same procedures are used, the cost will be higher when compared to mechanical systems. It can be $100 to $1000 or even more than that.
The cost will be different from problem to problem. The costs will include the cost of purchasing the items to be replaced, the hire of the mechanic and factory overheads. To minimize the costs you can always get it done by yourself. But you have to be very confident that you can do it correctly.
