These are generally not for the do it yourselfer since they are spot welded in place and there are many sizes of panels to fit the area you need to replace. Have an auto body shop look at it for advice - many give free estimates.

How do you replace the window regulator and motor on the driver front side on 98 dodge grand caravan
Remove the two Phillips head screws that hold in the power master switch in the door. Gently pry it upward. Push the red clips aside on the plugs and squeeze the release on the plug and pull them off. Remove the screws from inside the door panel. Lift the panel up and away. Peel back the plastic to reveal the inner door. Duct tape the window over the upper frame a few times to keep in up. Peer inside the door for two metal clips that hold the regulator to the window and slide them out. Unbolt the front and rear vertical tracks that slide the window up and down. Take out the three torx head bolts that come through the door and hold the motor in place. Check tor plastic anchors (ribbed pointy things) that hold the cables (from making noise) going from the front and rear vertical tracks. Twist and wiggle the tracks and motor out the hole at the bottom rear of the door. It's a little stubborn to finagle out, but it'll come. Patience will overcome.

Dodge caravan sliding doors
First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.

Caravan air filter
The air filter for the cabin is located inside the van, look under the glove box door there should be a plastic holder that slides to the rearward of the van pull this back and a flat plastic door will come off, the door is two parts.

Some base vans do not have this filter if you look at the bottom of this and see a 1/2 long plastic stud sticking out of the bottom there is no filter in this.
