Hi Tom
It has been a while since I have performed this
type of repair but I do remember that removing the door panel is the
easy part. I do not recommend that a novice perform this repair but after
you have watched a pro do it you will see how easy it is. It is fairly
straight forward but there is some detailed steps to it. Worse case scenario is
that you damage the door pad using a screwdriver to remove it or scratch the
glass. You need the proper tool to remove the clips. The clip itself
is inserted into the pad and then are popped into a hole in the door. Early
ones are a wire type and later ones made of metal. If I remember my lockout
tagout rules there is kinetic energy stored inside the window motor mechanism.
Without going into detail you don't want fingers or hands in the line of fire.
The whole job should be completed in roughly a couple hours if there are no
unforseen problems. Good luck.
