Hi charlesturner,

Here are the removal and installation procedures.

1. Remove door panel and plastic cover. Ensure power window switch is connected. Using a grease pencil, mark original adjustment position of stopper plates. Carefully move glass until glass mounting bolts are exposed. Mark original adjustment position of glass mounting bolts and remove bolts.

2. Carefully pull glass out of window slot. Use care not to damage upper corner of front sash. Remove center glass guide. Remove inner door handle. Mark original adjustment position of window regulator lock nuts. Using a hex wrench, hold adjusting bolts when removing window regulator lock nuts. Remove window regulator and motor. To install, reverse removal procedures. Tighten bolts to specification. Ensure window moves up and down smoothly.
