After removing the door panel, secure the window in the closed position, meaning the glass must be all the way up. Remove the entire assembly that allows the window to move, then insert the new assembly in the same position as the old one. Now, start securing it with the bolts for each necessary hole to hold it in place.

Next, connect the various required connectors and perform a few tests before closing the panel again.

If everything works correctly and there are no issues, you can proceed to close the door panel.
