takes a half hour tops. There is a screw behind the door latch lever the little plate pops out, there are 2 screws behind the pull handle of the door and the pin that moved up and down when the door locks has to be removed. It has like a little square in the middle of it that you just pop outwards it clicks then just pulls off like nothin. Once that is removed the door panel has pins all the way around the door use a small screw driver or hard putty knife to pop them all then pull slightly out and upward. Once its off unplug everything and you will see the regulator is held to the door with 2 10mm bolts and to the window with 2 more. Remove from the window first, then the door then unplug when u can reach it. Comes right out like nothing. All this is from memory so i may be a little off here.
