You will have to remove the door panel. the window is held in with two bolts, undo the bolts and push the window all the way up and tape in position. could be 4 or more bolts that holt the regulator in place undo the bolts make sure you unplug the motor before removing . pull regulator out and put back in in reverse.

SOURCE: 2004 KIA Optima LX timing belt/water pump

The thing is your doing the timing belt the water pump is right their with it . it should cost you much more at all besides the cost of the water pump. When doing a timing belt I have a rule that I go by The timing belt/seals =cam , crank , any pulley & tensioner & water pump all get replaced at the same time. I did a t-belt on a Audi A-8 very complex whole front of car has to come off as well, he didnt want to do w-pump & thermostat his thermostat was their as well not even a month later the water pump gave out he had to pay double the price because he didnt want to do it when I had it apart the first time. And make sure mechanic is ase certified . good luck

SOURCE: replacement of rear struts on a 2004 KIA Optima

yes many problems, if you have to ask don't do it when it comes to struts. unless you get what is called quick struts.. changing regular struts is very dangerous if yo do not have the propper training or tools. for your own safety have a reputable shop do them for you

My 2004 kia optima driver side door will not unlock power windows work

I have the same problem. The only way to open the drivers side is to use the key. It is not a regulator switch, it's a small plastic piece that needs replace. Go to the Kia forum and they will tell you about it.

How do you replace the front, driver side window regulator on a 2005 Kia Optima LX?

That is really something better left to a professional. Because if you don't know what you're doing you could end up with a window that will never function again, or you could break the glass.

2007 kia optima drivers side window not operating correctly. i gets stuck

You might want to give a few more details, does it get stuck going down or coming up? Are they manual or power window?. I had a case with a car (although not a Kia) that the bolts on the regulator came loose it would go down but not return to the up position. If this is the case remove the inside door panel and check for loose bolts or broken rivets holding your window regulator in place. The regulator is what puts your window up and down.

Trying to replace window motor in sedona and cant get window to go down to unscrew regulator from window. can you manually get window down to access screws.

You should be pulling the motor off to get the regulator out anyway, and when you do, it will come down. Remove all the bolts on the reg, then drop the whole unit to remove the motor, then remove the glass. This should work. Hope it helps.

I've replaced both rear window regulators in the last three month

ive changed the front regulators on my Kia Optima ( same company). they are designed not to last. the cheapest thing i can tell you is to have someone prop the windows up so that they wont go down.

Our 2001 Kia Optima is having trouble with the passenger door. If you want to role it up it won't go up, but if you want to role it down then it just slides down. we mainly need help getting it to go down.

This actually sounds like it off track. Take the door apart and look to see if the window is on track, if its not pop it back in to place and be done with it. 9 times out of 10 its just off track. Most dealers will tell you it needs a new regulaor just to get you to buy new parts and tell you it will take 2-3 hours to fix when in all actuality it will take them 20 mins to take door frame off and pop the window back into place. I would look at this before looking into a new regulator.
