[V8] Window Regulator

[Speakoutprod at aol.com]

We had a cold snap here -- 24 below at my house -- and I noticed that the 
driver's side window had some problems.

Specifically, it does not go down as smoothly as it used to, and it usually 
now won't go all the way down -- gets to a "stuck mode" about 2 inches from 
where it used to bottom out.  When I try to make it go back up, I have to grab 
the glass with my hand to help it, and it make some sounds.  Once it gets 
halfway up or so, it goes up OK, but with some protest (I don't have to use my hand 
at this point).

If I roll it down a few inches, maybe halfway down, it goes up OK (without 
hand assist), but again, not as smoothly.  The temp is now in the balmy 30's, so 
I don't think temp is a factor.

Any suggestions as to the cause?

I did window regulator work years ago on my 5000 Turbo, but have never took 
apart the door on my V8.  Should I plan for a trip to the bathtub with a 
razorblade or is it relatively easy to open it up (removing trim, door panels, etc.)?

Thanks,
