Removing rear window regulator assy. Help!

[Bernie Benz]

Thanks Tony,
I was hoping to do it thru the hole in the inner door assy.
I wonder if that retaining clip is really necessary?
Must be the same to replace the glass.
Thanks again!

This is done iwht the four 8mm (13mm head) bolts, two facin the interior of the car at the bottom, two at the top facing forward and backward. There are shims in place as well, you may want to mark them for position if your memory is like mine :(

If so,(?) visible only with a small inspection mirror, how does one remove the ring to free the regulator assy from the glass? No mention in Bentley! Please tell me that there is no retaining ring on the pin!
