Replacing the window regulator mechanism requires removing the door panel and the aluminum underpanel to access the mechanism itself. Remove the motor and loosen the glass retaining clips to complete the removal of the window regulator.

Attach the motor to the new mechanism and insert the assembled unit back into the door, securing it with the appropriate nuts. Then, insert the glass and tighten the clips, completing the installation by connecting the motor's power connector and performing a functionality check before reassembling all other components.
