Hey everyone! newbie question here , is there anyway that I can change my power window mechanism front passenger side without a drill? I've seen lots of videos on youtube where everyone uses a hand drill but I don't have one at the moment.
Thank you so much!
Welcome to the Forum!
Unless the regulator was replaced in the past, you will need to drill out the rivets. Normally you can replace the rivets with 10mm bolt and nuts.
Normally the plastic sliders go bad first, so before you tear apart the regulator, look closely at them. If the arms do happen to be bent sightly, you can straighten them back out and continue to use the original regulator.

Thank you so much! This is my first time changing my mechanism and I checked as well and turns out I still have the stock mechanism so it still has the rivets. I might need to buy a drill for this then hahah.
Again, Thank you so much!
