Here are the instructions:

• Gently remove the door panel of your Contour, ensuring that you don't break the three door clips that hold it on. As you pull the panel from the door, support the panel from below. This will ensure that none of the wiring inside the door is damaged. Release the wiring from the components inside the door, including the power window mechanism, power lock mechanism (if equipped) and the stereo speaker. Place the door panel in a safe area with the clips so they are accessible when you are ready to replace them.
  
• 2Remove the window glass by sliding it up and out of the door. Support the glass from the bottom so it doesn't drop and break. Window glass for a Contour can cost around $150 to replace. After you remove the glass, put it in a safe place. You may want to wrap it in old towels or blankets to protect it until you are ready to reinstall it.
  
• 3
  
• Unplug the wires from your Contour's window motor, and remove the screws from the window motor and regulator. Remove the power window motor and regulator from your Contour to make way for the new parts.
  
• 4Install the new window regulator into the door, and replace the screws that held them in place.
  
• 5Replace the window glass into the door, and connect it to your Contour's power window motor and regulator assembly.
  
• 6Replace the door panel. Reconnect the wiring for the power window and power lock controls, and replace each clip that connects the panel to the door.
  

The motor and regulator need to come out here is how to do that.

You'll need to remove the inner door panel, usually the clip that holds the door handle rod or to the latch has broke and the rod becomes disconnected.

remove all screws(phillips) remove the power window/locks switches carefully, all along the door panel edges there are clips that hold the panel onto the inside door skin these must be carefully pried as to not break them, they are plastic... have a screw # 2 phillips driver, flat bladed also to pry panel etc. and a pair of needle nose pliers to remove any clips that stay stuck in the door skin once the panel is removed. Look over the panel carefully and be sure you remove anything that ressembles a plastic caq/cover to ensure safe removal. Go slow do it right the first time!!! Good luck. John

The interior door panel needs to come off; the panel comes off by pushing it up from the bottom. Make sure you remove the window, seat, and mirror control panels first and pop off the clip that holds the plastic corner sail panel by the mirror. Also CARFULLY remove the pastic panel with the power lock controls and unplug the wiring harness. Pop off the two plastic covers on either end of the door-pull handle and remove the screws with philips screw driver . After doing this, CARFULLY lift from the bottom. Once the panel as come off, CARFULLY pull the panel far enough away from the door to pull the two speaker connectors off. Put the panel someplace safe, along with the power controls. In order to get to the power window equipment you need to pull back the black rubber sound absorber panel. It is stuck on with a black, gummy, tar like substance. Again, be careful with this as well.
