[urq] Window regulators

[Gmail]

Tony Hoffman rebuilds these, and I just shipped him a big box of spares so he may be able to rebuild a set and do an exchange.

Anyway, the regulator bolts into the door in a few places. Pull the door panel and then the water shield if it's still there. 

Once it's accessible there will be two bolts hold the glass to the rail. You will have to lower the window a bit to access them. Once those are out, you can lower the glass to the bottom of the door. You should be three bonded rubber mounts attaching the motor to the door shell. Then there will be one bolt holding the bottom of the rail that's inside the door shell, and two holding the top. 

To detach the wiring, pull the kick panel and fish out the green wiring with the pin plug. 

Pull out the regulator first, and then the glass.
