Steps
Remove the rear door panel
Switch off the ignition. Release the handle and door-pull trim, remove their Phillips screws, and free the panel clips. Lift the panel away, pull the handle from the panel, and unplug the window switch.
Disconnect the switch and motor
Peel back the weatherstrip and release the cables from it. Reconnect the switch temporarily, lower the window until its track bolts are accessible, then switch the ignition off and unplug the motor lead.
Remove the run channel and regulator
Remove the run-channel fasteners and pull the channel clear. Raise the glass by hand and support it safely, then remove the regulator mounting bolts and guide the regulator out through the door opening.
Install the replacement regulator
Feed the new regulator into the door and hang it on one mounting bolt. Install the remaining fasteners, reconnect the motor lead, and return the run channel and its rubber seal to the door.
Reattach and test the glass
Lower the glass onto the regulator and align its retaining points. Reinstall the track and channel fasteners, temporarily reconnect the switch, and cycle the window to confirm smooth travel and a secure fit.
Reinstall the water barrier and panel
Press the water barrier back into place and route the handle cables through the panel. Reconnect the switch, align the panel clips, and press the panel onto the door. Reinstall the screws and trim, then test the window and handle.
