How to Replace a Galant Window Regulator

The Galant is manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors and was introduced in 1969. The window regulator on your Galant will have to be replaced if the window fails to go up or down properly. Make sure you purchase the proper regulator for your Galant, paying particular attention to the specific door. Replacement of the regulator is a project that can be completed in less than a half-hour with the proper tools.
