Purchase replacement part first.
If you need motor only it might come without regulator.
Either way when you have the new part(s)
It will give you an idea of what has to be removed
look for plastic covers (round) or screws and remove them under the covers are screws also remove those.
neer door handle there is always a screw or tab.
on the pull handle (big one) there are 1-2 large screws remove those.
look near mirror area and remove any plastic covers. may be tabbed or screwed in??
usually lifting lightly and looking under the trim with a flashlight will tell you what is holding it.
remove plastic from around handle area.
pry lightly on the bottom and see if you have to lift up or straight out.
either way usually an up and out motion is required at same time.
tabs lift out easily while the push in plastic tabs may be more strong. if they stay in the door remove them later with trim tool. looks like a dandelion puller. then put them back on the door trim whre they came from for later installation.
If door has plastic film pull it away from the door and don't get the black stuff on you. Sticky!
Then find if regulator is bolted in or pop riveted in.
remove bolts or pop rivets and dont pinch your fingers but separate window glass from regulator.
This is the fun part you will have to find a hole to pull it out of. usually there is only one choice. and that is the biggest hole there.

well first take off the door panel it shouldnt be hard remove plastic cover off door.Make sure your window is all the ways up before you remove the motor.you can hold it up with duct tape or anything similar.Then remove the screw that go to the regulator sometimes it has rivets wich have to be drilled off.The new regulator should come with screws if it has rivets if not u use the same old screws.Also unplug the harness of it . Install new one,screw it on and reverse the procedure.Any problems keep me posted

they are not too bad, you have to find althe screw on the panel and then they have some plastic fasteners that pry up usually.Before you pry on them make sure all screw from top to bottom are out.Try to lift upward on door panel if it doesnt slide upward they are the pry out pop out clips mentioned above.you always start at the bottom.Work your way around..you have to remove the door handle and the switch cover should just pop out.You will need something to hold window one you are able to remove the regulator to window mount bolt The rest is really simple you look at new regulator and have it front of you and you will know what need to be done including the removal of plug to the motor. Be care ful and also once you remove the mount bolt from glass to regulator allow window glass to go downward to get the regulator part down and awy from the glass,Once it is down slide window up all the out of way and wedge it up.Remove and install new one. Good luck
