Do you have to remove the vent window on this body style? I can't get the regulator out, because the shaft that the window crank goes on doesn't have enough room to be pushed back, and slid out. It hits a metal bar, that seems to be attached to the vent window.
there is a wheel that rolls in a track on the door
you have to get it out of there

Yeah, I was trying that, but with the shaft part still sticking through the inner door, I couldn't get enough play in it to get any of the wheels off the tracks.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I think the vent window has to come out.
