Window Regulator: Removal
- Remove door trim panel and watershield. See DOOR TRIM PANEL .
- Prop the glass in the full-up position.
- Disconnect the electric motor wiring.
- Remove the four rivets attaching the regulator to the inner door panel. Remove the center pin from each rivet with a drift punch. Using a 1/4-inch drill, drill out the remainder of the rivet, using care not to enlarge the sheet metal retaining holes. See Figure .
- Remove the upper screw and washer and lower nut and washer attaching the run and bracket assembly to the inner door panel. Slide the run tube up between the door belt and glass. Protect the glass with a soft cloth between the run tube while removing the regulator.

CAUTION:
If the regulator counterbalance spring must be removed or replaced for any reason, ensure that the regulator arms are in a fixed position prior to removal to prevent possible injury during C-spring unwind.
