Is window motor replacement a DIY?

[Bill R.]

Sorry Scott, it does have a regulator spring, you can see it clearly in this pic...the last one I did I just used some vicegrips to lock the regulator mechanism in place and then i removed the rivets holding the motor assy in place..

Hey guys, anyone have directions on replacing my drivers side front window motor? or should i take it somewhere?


thanks!

That one does, my 95 had no spring, just the gear and scissor mechanism:
