READ THIS - it may save you heartache.

Excellent product. Fits perfectly, no issues with the part or the company that sold it. (Good job guys!) Then again, setting this thing up was a sob to say the least! Why do you ask? MY window fell out when it was all the way down ie my window was completely in the door. This is a problem as you REMOVE, not loosen, the 2 screws that attach the glass to the power window. If the window doesn't move and is all the way down, these two screws are VERY difficult to get to. I have fairly large mittens and it took me 3.5 hours just to get those 2 screws out. The controller and motor slide out easily from the large hole to the left of the door. USE AN OLD TOWEL between the glass and the regulator or you will scratch the window/tint. If you can lift the window about 6 inches into position to remove those two screws, the job becomes easy. The second time around, after getting the new motor and putting the old one back in for about a month, it only took about 30 minutes TOTAL! A little trick if the window doesn't move at all. PRESS OR PULL the switch to open the door and slam it back. You can ONLY shake the brushes in the motor long enough to raise it into position or lower it to remove the screw ;-) GOOD LUCK!
