I have the parts - IS THERE ANYWHERE to get a diagram of the steps necessary??
Door panel removal, all the way to the end.

:-) THANKS.

Are you sure its not a switch probably if both windows need them? Sorry, if I am asking a dumb question but I would hate for you to do all the work if you don't need to.

Pretty sure, as they happened a while apart from eachother -
I simply disconnected the power to the passenger side so nobody messed with it...

While the first one was going, i noticed the driver side was making a click noise and slowing down, and ultimately, the glass fell into the door, off track -

THANKS!

Door panel is pretty easy:

Triangular trim over mirror/post pops out (pry it straight out).
Remove cover for grab handle (pops out, pry it straight out too)
Remove two torx screws in grab handle (T25, I think)
Press in button on the 8 expansion rivets (push the button in 1/8", then remove rivet).
Lift door panel upward to clear the window trim/rubber on top.

You'll probably want to disconnect the speaker connector (for the upper tweeter) and the window/lock switch connectors to lay the door panel aside.

Haven't done the regulator/motor, but with the panel off, it should be pretty clear...there's some insulation/plastic sheet to be removed...then the guts of the door are visible...

Anyone have a manual, or a diagram?
