Thanks Rich Do you know what holds the window in that piece can be unbolted? Is it wedged in or glued? That is what I need to get out for repair or replacement.

I think there are two bolts that hold the glass in its lower frame (which would be the top piece of the regulator assembly), if I am remembering correctly. Stick your hand in there and feel for them (there is an access hole in the door frame to get at them, but you might have to drop the glass a bit). You can put in a little wood wedge to hold the glass in place, remove those, and then drop the regulator to wrestle it out, see what the problem is. When I get a chance I'll look up on the CD what the arrangement is, my memory is a bit unclear as I usually do that job on autopilot. Once you feel it out, it is quite apparent what to do with it. --R Harry Watkins wrote: > How is the horizontal metal piece attached to the glass?
