Power window regulator removal tip

[tucsonjwt]

Here is what I have found to be the best regulator position for removal from the door through the 8"x8" hole in the upper left opening in the door. I removed the regulator/motor assembly via motor and gear section first (turning the assembly upside down prior to removal.)

It took about an hour of experimentation before I figured this out. I have done this task several times before but forgot how to do it. I am sure there are other methods, but this one worked best for me.

Thanks for the info, I left mine in and replaced the motor. What a pain
