To replace the window regulator motor, first remove the door panel: one screw is located inside the handle of the panel and another in the opening lever slot; at this point, pry along the edges of the panel to release the clips and pull it upwards to detach it from the weatherstrip; then disconnect the window control connector and completely remove the panel.

Next, unscrew the mounting screws of the lifting motor and replace it with a new one; proceed in reverse for reassembly.
