328i Window Winding Mechanism change?

[DJAbed]

My Window Winding Mechanism is faulty.
BMW has advised me to replace the unit, but the service costs are ridiculous.

Anyone know how I can go about making the change myself?

Model : E36 328i 4 door

Exactly what is the problem? Do you have manual or power windows?

I have an automatic Window (Power).

One of the metal arms of the window winder mechanism is cracked and I have to replace the entire window winder mechanism.

Wondering if it worthwhile doing it myself, (if it is easy enough), or paying the ridiculous installation costs from BMW.

One more thing. Taking the door panel off is very easy. The register and all, not there yet. I read from one user that you pull like hell when you get the screws loose. NO. The clips easily snap loose with light prying, there's only 3, if I recall, screws, then clips then speaker wires and door handle cable. Put door lock down though, might snap it off if not paying attention.
