2. Remove front door belt line inside weatherstrip and door window glass inner stabilizer.
3. Remove front door window glass as outlined.
4. Remove two nut and washer assemblies attaching the window regulator equalizer arm bracket.
5. Remove four rivets attaching the front door power window regulator base plate to door inner panel.

Installation

1. Install the front door window channel bracket onto front door window regulator.

NOTE: Two 1/4-20 x 1-inch bolts and two 1/4-20 nut and washer assemblies may be used as alternates for front door window glass retention. However, torque must not exceed 4-7 N-m (3-5 lb-ft). Equivalent metric retainers may be used.

I attached the process from the service manual on your vehicle. Also, here is a guide on how to perform this we well. Clearly this is not your vehicle but it basically the same in most vehicles.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
