Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
^Slick I plan on zipties in addition to the nylon regulator clips I purchased, "double reinforcement so to speak.

I already purchased about 10 of the foam washer panel clips, I think they are an updated design. Vapor barrier is good, I was in there for the handle carrier 2 years ago and it was in fine shape. I have 4 bushings (both doors) and 4 window bolts as well

If I have the room, I MAY try to do it "in situ", with the window taped up and free from the regulator, I don't plan on disconnecting the airbag, just tying to the side and taping it up by the window. You have to lower the window almost all the way to loosen the black clips holding it to the regulator clips. (Clips bolting to other clips, funny how that works)

Anyways, if there is enough room in the door frame, theoretically one could rotate the regulator cable clips and unsnap from the track, unclip the regulator cable itself, replace with new clip, and snap cable in place (reinforced with zip ties if needed). Then do other side, perhaps needing to plug window switch in to get the other side at the proper distance.

Speaker will have to be unclipped as well, I'm still deciding if I want to drop the $140 on BSW front door midbasses "while I'm in there".

But yes, the key is doing preventative measures before failure, so I'm hoping my little experiment with the parts will work out well and be beneficial.
