Apologies but.. Link to the "Best" Window Regulator Replacement Thread?

You do not need to disconnect airbag.


I just remove the airbag screws and do the airbag 180° and re attach with one of the screws. It hangs out past the door so you can't shut the door but non issue for fixing the window regulator.

Lubricate the guides. The friction on the edges of the glass cause most window related problems.

I don't have a link for you but one more helpful tip: use a break away utility knife extended several inches out to cut thru the butyl, you can heat with a heat gun (or with extreme caution including fire extinguisher at the ready), a micro torch to reactivate the butyl glue for the vapor barrier.

Foxwell will reset airbag and abs codes that basic scanners won't.
