    Can't find one off hand, but I had my door apart to clean the regulator rails and the sliders and it looked like it would be relatively straightforward...door panel, glass, wiring harness then motor. If you're mechanically incliined, it shouldn't be a problem at all...

    Default dont let the spring cut your hand off after you drill the rivets.

    ...good point, Jeff! I almost did that R&R'ing the window motor on my '88 Gran Prix a year ago...couldn't recall seeing a coil spring on the E34 assembly when I had the door panel off...
