to removing the rear window regulator on a 2002 CLK320 Cabriolet?

Wifey called to say the left rear window will only go down, not up. Said it made a "pop" sound and stopped closing. I immediately pegged it as the plastic slider on the regulator. When I had the chance I pulled the panel and could see the broken piece but could not figure out how to pull the regulator. I was able to align the broken piece, which allowed the window to close (the slider would twist and stop the window as the slider tried to pass through a "tunnel".

Looking at the replacement regulators on Fastlane gives me the impression the regulator has to come out from the top. Are the torx or allen screws near the top of the inner panel the retaining bolts for the regulator?

Just looking for a bit of guidance so I can prepare for a regulator replacement soon. Weather is perfect for some top down driving but I don't feel like having to guide the window back up everytime SWMBO wants the top down.
