I've changed 3 of 4 in mine. It's easy to do even if you're not a mechanic, just take your time and follow the DIY step by step.

WORD OF ADVICE! - There is a small led type light that illuminates the inside of your door handle. It connects to the backside of the handle with a small wire at the top of the door panel and has a small clear plastic piece that redirects the light from the bulb to the hole in the panel where you see the orange light. This plastic piece is near impossible to disconnect with the panel in place and breaks easily when trying to remove the panel to access it. I've broke 2 myself while trying to remove the door trim panel from the door frame. I believe there is a removal tool for the pop in plastic rivots that hold the door trim to the door frame. Use this tool or take care not to yank the panel off without disconnecting the wire at the top.

Anyone have any advice on this?

Can someone help me with this question?? I don't want to order a regulator and find out it is something different. Als, I plan on installing the regulator myself - where is a good place to order one from??

Either the motor or the regulator wasn't installed correctly and is binding.
