Hey guys, I have the manual roll up window in the tailgate of my Jimmy, it recently broke and I bought all the replacement parts off of LMC truck including a new lock cylinder and set of keys. I took a quick look inside the tailgate and I think it will be easy enough to get the old one out and the new one in. Buuut, with all the new parts came a bunch of little pieces. Will this be easy enough to fix myself or do I need a professional? The list of parts include a pawl, spring, clutch and ring. These are the parts I'm not quite sure about. Will it be easy enough to figure out by examining the old part? Or can you refer me to any instructions? I can't seem to find anything useful online. Thanks for your time!

Sometimes I don't use all the parts in a kit. I may only replace what is needed. I use my own judgement.

I as well but the handle actually broke right off, and I don't have the key for the lock on the old handle. It would be nice to lock it. And for the cheap cost of the little parts in my opinion it's always better to change parts while you have something apart rather than have to take it apart again down the road. So if you do have access to installation directions it would be much appreciated! Thanks for the fast reply!
