I just popped open the rear door panel of my '99 E430. The cable that runs up and down is just dangling loose, so I assume replacing the window regulator is the right thing to do.

Although I haven't removed it yet, the window regulator looks connected to what looks like the motor. The dealer says the motor ($128) and the regulator ($106) are sold seperately. Can someone clarify if the silver, cylindrical object is indeed the motor? It looks like it's all one piece. If both pieces ARE connected, I'm wondering if anyone knows what tools I need to remove the motor?

Note, I saw a posting somewhere that said it was all one piece.

Thanks for the help.
