My factory sliders were very worn and cracked in many places but none broken.
All parts replaced but it took me 4 hours to do both and cleaned everything up.
Windows do operate so much more accurate now and no twisting òf window as it goes up/down and no rattles period when door closed.
Pita but doable.

if my spelling sucks in this post its cause im typing on a tablet.
Glad to hear you got it done. Did you end up removing the regulator, or did you swap the regulator clips (sliders, etc.) in situ?

I did all my windows (some repair, some pre-emptive repair), and removed the regulators for all 4. Replacing the rear-window regulator clips (one per window) was more difficult than the fronts, since they attach to the cable differently. Not really hard, actually, but harder than the front windows, and I can't imagine doing it in situ.
