so i had her order a reg from bma , but i guess sometimes it could be the clip on the back of the reg, i assumed this came with the reg, also there is a bushing involved somehow?

so my question is do i need to have her order other parts other than the reg?
I would order a pair of the plastic bushings where the window glass attaches to the regulator. Those have a tendency to deteriorate. I'd also order a few of the door panel trim clips, just in case some break. The clip that the cables attach to will come with the regulator.

Also, I'd ignore the Bentley book instructions to remover the outside trim at the bottom of the window; totally unneccessary. Instead, remove trhe inside trim at the base of the window...it is MUCH easier to remove and will give you all the clearance you need to get the glass out and back in.
