Assuming that the scissor assembly is functional and the motor has quit working you may purchase a replacement motor only. The motor is attached to the scissor assembly with rivets but you can substitute with specialty flat headed furniture bolts and lock nuts purchased at a home improvement store. Most important: Do not purchase a cheap motor from a discount mail order auto supplier. You get what you pay for. I went through two in less than a week's time before I bit the bullet and purchased one from the dealer. It cost twice as much but was made of all metal rather than plastic. The window is too heavy to raise and lower with cheap plastic parts.

First, you must remove the plastic door panel by removing two screws in the door rest then pulling out on the rest of the door. Be sure to pull out the small lamp from the red/white reflector assembly. You may damage some of the plastic fasteners ( which can be purchased at an automotve supply store). Next, disconnect all the wires from the switch assembly not forgetting the power door lock. Then remove the inside door handle and lock lever, disconnecting the rods from the backside. Then remove the metal inner door panel by sliding the panel so that the two idler wheels riding in the window channel come out.

The motor and scissor assembly are riveted to this door panel so you will have to drill out these rivets. You can purchase replacement rivets at an auto parts store (which require a heavy duty pop riveter to install) or do what I did and replace with 5/16" bolts and nuts.

Be sure and test the assembly before you bolt everything back together.
