Window Regulator
Can anyone give me some advise on my C5 drivers window no working. The passenger switch works and I don't believe it is the motor. The reason being my alarm has an option to raise and lower the windows and I used this option to lower both windows. However, when I use the same method to raise only the passenger window raises. When I push the switch I can hear a clicking noise. I appreciate any direction from anyone. Also, is removing the control panel a major headache. Cheers.
Can anyone tell me if the vehicle has been converted to right hand drive whether a replacement RH regulator needs any different conversion or will it just be bolted on. Cheers

An excellent "how-to" video, and also excellent source for a replacement window regulator.
In the meantime, you may be able to operate your window by turning on the ignition, hold the door window switch down, and bang quite hard on the door armrest. Several hard blows may be necessary, but the window will often magically work again, and continue to do so for several weeks/months.

Make Sure to Match Mark All of the Interfaces
One note - when replacing the regulator, be careful to match mark all of the parts connections to minimize any problems when it goes back together. This includes the location of the window clamps and the relative locations of the adjusting screws. Others have had significant problems (scraping tinting) if not done. Good luck.
