I bought the regulator from 1-A AUTO (the place you recommend). I purchased the higher end model with life-time warrenty. the total came to $75.00 or so with shipping. It came in 3 days with no extra shipping cost. It was only about 15 bucks more than the cheaper one, so why not.

as far as the tutorial, a few things come to mind. Of course, I have a 96 and your DIY was written for a 94, both 5th gen, but..you never know.

1. that plastic is annoying, instead of taking it down I simply cut out where I need to get my wrench. I carefully ducked taped it back together when I was done.

2. The two bolts that attach the rail to the window. Getting to that was a bit cumbersome. I had to push the window down by hand, and force it to the bottom. You can easily get to the left bolt through the large opening in the door on the left, but the right bolt has to line up with a tiny small hole on the right. Needed an extension on my wrench to get to that. More cutting of the plastic was required as well.

3. re-installing was a bit awkward as you have to be able to hold the motor up and and placed correctly to fit the bolt holes. I have long arms, but if you don;t, this could be problematic. Once the regulator was in place, I had to turn on my car and "roll down" the piece attached to the rail that bolts to the window. I had to roll it down so it would line up with the small hole so I could re-attach it.

that's really it. You mention the bit about the plastic . I Just threw it out there because that plastic is attached with some nasty old yellow goop that when pulled apart start breaking and getting all over. Easier to cut and re-tape. from the middle.

Your tutorial Rocked! I think you should step by step it, rather than paragraph form though. Like you said, it's all pretty much common sense once yo see how it's bolted in there.

thanks again
