It took me 3 hours to drill 5 rivets out. I never drilled any thing on cars before, so I did it slowly and carefully. Also, I had to recharge the battery during the work. If you can, lift your window up so that you won't accidently scratch the widow when the drill goes through the rivet.

Once the 5 rivets were removed, there was still one bolt holding the regulator. At the moment, use one hand to hold the window and another to remove the bolt. I was surprised that the window is not heavy at all. You can then easily slide the regulator out.

To sepatate the motor from the regulator, you need to remove 3 screws (T20 Torx). To access one screw, the regulator must be at the down position. Because my motor didn't work, I ended up opening the black gear box to take out all the parts. No fun at all.

Installation seemed ok. As Bentley described, I used 6mmx1.0 bolts to hold the regulator. However, I broke a plastic piece of the new motor when adjusting the window. Although the window works fine now, I am not sure if it will cause any side effect. The white plastic piece on the new motor has a hole and looks like a vent for the motor. Does any one know what it is for?

Thanks,
Jerry
