Im having issues removing the window regulator. Is it somehow connected to the division bar? I cant seem to move the crank gear back inside the door and slide it out. Anyone know the trick? Im sure its something easy that I'm missing.

To remove your window regulator you must first remove the vent window assembly and rear lower window track. Lower the window all the way and slide it forward to align with the cutouts for the nylon rollers. Remove the window and then remove the screws for the regulator. Push the regulator inside the door and then forward to slide the nylon wheel out of the track inside the door. Then just pull the regulator out the large access hole in the door. Reverce the process to install the new one. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I put in a window regulator last night and noticed not only are there two rollers on the regulator setup that go in the window track, but there is also a track on the inside of the door that another roller on the regulator setup goes in. An article I used as a reference did not mention that one so I had to pull everything apart when I noticed that problem.

Is it just the three screws in the A-pillar area of the door to remove the vent assembly?

Two screws down below the regulator about 5 - 8".

No there are 2 screws, 2/3rds the way toward the bottom of the door that hold the bottom for the Vent window division bar. You need to remove those also. WES
