The driver side window has been giving trouble (i.E going very slow, sometimes not going up at all unless you actually pull on the glass, etc.).
I have taken car to Dealership to check on this-(it was suppose to be under warranty but wasn't).
Dealership claims that the window regulator needs to be replaced. I can purchase the parts at my local parts house but how can I do this repair myself?
