my windows and that they are too dark, I finally jumped the gun and changed my regulator and motor. I
was not sure which one was bad, so I just bought both together here:

Here’s a little guide I put together for you guys and hope that it helps you out. I couldn’t find one on
here so I figured what the heck why not? It takes about 45 minutes doing it alone and probably about 35
if someone else helps you.
1) Start by taking the chrome plastic plate on the door handle off (not the actual door handle).
Then take the black plastic plate behind the handle off too. Don’t mind the Wire sticking out,
that’s from another mod I did (adding LED to the door handles) . Not shown in the picture, but
important is to remove the window and door switches. This is done by lifting the plastic off and
then disconnecting the wiring harness.
2) Now take the door armrest off. Pull up with some force, it will come out. Now you will expose 2
screws (only 1 can be seen in the picture).
3) Now carefully pull the door panel off to expose the screws and holes we need to use.
4) Lower you window so that you can see the two screws holding the glass onto the regulator.
5) Your windows will be at about this level. Put tape around it the window to hold it in place so
that it does not fall down.
6) Remove the two screws and now take the tape off and manually move the window to the top
and again hold it there with tape. This is much easier if you have another person with you, but I
did it alone so thus it can be done.
7) There are four screws holding the regulator onto the door. Remove them to release the
regulator.
8) There are three screws holding the motor onto the door. Take them off to release it. But do not
remove it yet.
9) Remove the wiring harness from the motor.
10) There are a few little clips holding the motor on, lift the motor up and they will release. (the
tape is from when I previously was working to get some of the rattling out of the car after
installing a semi-decent sound system.)
11) Now everything is free to be taken out. Use the large hole on the bottom left to take the motor
and actuator out. Here’s what it will look like.
12) This is an overall picture showing where everything is. (the numbers represent what step they
depict)
13) Reverse the steps in logical order to put the new motor and regulator on.
