Window Regulator Help

From the massive amount of searching for a guide on how to replace these I've noticed that it seems to be a pretty common thing, but there is absolutely 0 guides on how to do it.

Anyone have a walkthru on how to replace the driver side window regulator and an estimate of the time it takes?


edit: Forgot include the car info, it's a 1998 Buick Regal GS.

I just replaced the window regulator & motor for my 1999 Buick Regal GS saturday morning. This task was easier than I orginally thought.

I had to remove two screws from the door handle, to remove the inner door panel and plactic seal, and unplugged the switch and motor connector from the panel. I removed the 2 bolts from the bracket holding the window, the window stayed in place. I then removed/loosened the 3 bolts that held the window motor in place. Removed the four bolts that held the window regulator in place. At this time I was able to remove the old window regulator and motor.

I had purchased a full window and regulator assembly on-line and bolted everything back into the door.

This took just a little over an hour.
