To replace the window regulator in a Volkswagen Polo, first loosen the screws securing the door trim panel. Once the panel is removed, you will find the underlying mechanism.

This can now be freed from its housing by undoing the screws that hold it in place and disconnecting the appropriate power cables: you can now completely remove the mechanism from its seat to insert the new one. This can now be secured to ensure everything functions correctly.
