1998 Mercury Mountaineer V8 All Wheel Drive Manual

the drivers side door will not unlock when I use the Key but will unlock all other doors and when I am in the truck and using the control pannel to unlock the doors all doors but the drivers side will unlock. You can see it trying to unlock. How can I fix this?

I looked at this and the actuator is accessible, but how do I replace it? There actuator itself is behind the glass window guide and I only have so much room to get some fingers in there.

Would I need to remove the glass completely, along with the glass guide?
