The window has a broken bar under the window that is connected to the two arms that push the window up and brings it down. Because of this the window goes up and down at a angle and will not close. I tried to remove the assembly which has the speaker, window drive motor, window spring and connectting rods for door lock and door handle. I could not get the whole window and rails out the opening on the inside of the door. Can this be done or do I have to buy a door with everything inside?

You have to seperate the glass from the regulator (Broken part). There are usually 2 10mm bolts or a couple clips that holds the glass to the regulator, If it is glued, you will have to carefully cut it free to be able to get the assembly out of the door. Once the glass is free, use blue masking tape over the door frame to hold it up and out of the way. Use blue tape, it will release and not leave sticky stuff all over the glass or the door.
