How do you replace the window regulator mechanism in the Skoda Octavia?

Model: Skoda Octavia 1U, MK 1 - Years 1996-2004
Part: Side window

The replacement of the entire metal window regulator structure and its electric motor clearly involves the door being completely devoid of internal lining, that is, paneling. How to carry out the work can be seen in this video: the various parts, linkages, etc. are initially assembled on a workbench, then the aforementioned motor is installed. Afterwards, the entire structure is inserted into the door, locked in place with the appropriate pins, and finally the connector for the power cables is connected. All that remains is to try raising and lowering the window.
