My window has been stuck in the up pos. for a few days now, and it has done this intermittently for the last few months. It usually starts going again in a while and then stops. When I press the switch, I get a clicking noise from inside the door, that sounds like a relay, dunno what it is... Reading previous threads, everyone with similar symptoms was told to replace the regulator. I am guessing this is the 'regulator' which as far as I understand, is #1 in the following diagram (i'm totally clueless!):

Here is where I am stuck however: I removed the door panel, however there seems to be a layer of insulation that is glued to the door. It is like a thin padding and I do not see any clips holding it on. I have to remove this to see the motor and regulator below, however Bentley doesn't mention it at all. They just say remove the panel and you're done. Also, being a '95 model, is the regulator riveted? How do I go about drilling it if it is? With a regular cordless drill? Sorry folks, I am not technically gifted.
