Thanks to all for help on changing my first window regulator. The DIY page Skiier on door panel removal was a big help. I did download a service manual from manuals unlimited but the indexing is pretty difficult to non existent. I think I saw a thread somewhere on the forum offering an index. I did find the window regulator but the manual was not too useful in terms of helping me replace it. The information was just to brief and not well illustrated. I did visit Fast Lane and they had the part priced as well or better than most and shipped it free and it arrived the following day. I did notice there is a view port so you can inspect the gear teeth as you raise or lower the window after removing the panel and liner. Mine was missing several in one spot. The job took me about 2.5 hrs but I'm sure it could have been done in one if I had it to do over. The hardest part was getting the door panel back on with all the hooks in place. I had a great deal of satisfaction from fixing it myself and I suppose I could have even paid myself a decent wage and still saved some money over having someone else do it. Thanks again to all who make this site so helpful.
