Hi,

To replace the window motor will require the removal of the door panel. Make sure the key is in the off position.

Once the door panel is removed, you will need to remove the window regulator which will have the motor attached.

If you look below, the first two pics are how the regulator is removed. The last pics are how to replace the motor. It will require you to drill out rivets, so make sure you have the parts before you begin.

If you run into trouble or have questions, let me know. Also, let me know how things turn out for you.

Take care,

Joe
