Steps
Disconnect the battery and remove trim
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Pry off the mirror and switch trim, unplug the switch and courtesy light, remove the panel screws, release the clips, and lift the panel away.
Remove the speaker and water shield
Carefully peel back the water shield and remove the speaker bolts and wiring lead. Set the speaker aside to open access to the regulator and glass fasteners.
Secure the glass and remove the regulator
Disconnect the motor lead and free its harness from the door. Remove the window track and regulator bolts, release the glass from the regulator, raise the glass by hand, and tape it securely before extracting the regulator.
Install the new regulator
Guide the replacement into the door and hang it on one fastener. Install the remaining regulator and track bolts, reconnect the motor lead, remove the tape, and lower the glass onto the regulator.
Reassemble and test
Secure the glass fasteners and test the regulator with the switch before reinstalling the speaker. Restore the water shield and panel wiring, reconnect the battery, and refit the panel clips, screws, and trim.
