I did the regulator sliding clips with regulator assembly in situ yes. PAIN but I didnt want to bother with removing the regs if possible. Removing the speaker from door was a god sent tho. 3 screws... its the easiest thing TO remove from the door hahah.

I really was only doing this for preventative maintenance as well. I didnt have any problems as SUCH but I was hearing some creaking sounds from the glass/rolling up into closed position and figured it could be a broken clip somewhere. Nope, none were broken to be honest but the black window clips were definitely brittle (yet fully intact till I had to remove them from glass). The plastic/metal sliding clips too were starting to crack on the grey plastic parts yet nothing had fully broken and to be honest, getting my slider clips off the cable were a very difficult procedure. Makes me not fully understand how others have had this exact area on their sliders break so easily.

I have the window clips and regulator sliders for rear doors but will tackle them some other time. not looking forward to another battle so soon
