You dont need to replace the motor just fix it. Remove the door panel by taking out a couple of screws around the inside door handle, the bottom rear of the door and pull the panel up and out. Unplug the window, door lock and courtesy light plugs. You will find three bolts that hold the motor in place. Remove them and the motor will fall out. Now unplug the motor and it is ready to fix. There are a few people on eBay selling the bushings that go bad, buy one of these kits. Each motor gear assembly has three bushings, they are sacrificial and will rot over time, it they where not there damage to the motor gears could occur they protect against it. The bushings can be tricking to get in, but if you get all three of them diagonally in and push hard they will slide in. When putting the motor back in make sure the outer gear goes onto the crescent shaped large gear in the door, if not you will just be putting the motor outside the gear. Put the connectors and door panel back on and you have spend one hour and $9 (That's what I paid for the bushings on eBay)

This is not an easy job. You need special tools to get the door panel off. I suggest you take it to the trim shop.

Actually you dont need special tools, all you have to do is remove 2 screws, one bolt and a long torx bolt.

Just remove the sail panel (covers the mirror bolts) and there is a screw behind it. pull out the switch panel and there is a screw behind it. pull the trim around the door handle and there is a bolt holding the door handle. and remove the light cover and there is a torx bolt in the light housing.

then lift straight up on the panel and once its loose, just unplug the light and it is off.

good luck

once you take the door panel off you have to drill where the motor is attached to the door. the motor is tack welded to the door....i never did it myself but i had a mechanic do it for me on the side and this is what he told me and there are nuts holding the motor where he drilled it out.

You will need to take off inside panel first,locate motor and drill out rivits, unless the motor has been changed before.Then you'll need to take motor off the guide,sometimes this takes two people 1 to hold window 1 to remove motor. To install reverse steps! You'll need to replace rivits with bolts!

1. block-wedge your window so that it does not move. 2. remove interior door panel. you will also have to disconnect your window switches to totally remove the panel. 3.remove plastic sheeting CAREFULLY, as this can and should be reused. 4. when looking at the naked door, you will see 2 dimples near the front of the door - if you drill through these dimples, you will find that they align perfectly with the rivets that hold the window motor to the regulator - drill through the rivets and the motor will fall out. 5. by going through the door's access panel, install the new motor - bolting it to the regulator. 6. re-install switch and check to ensure it is working. 7. replace plastic sheeting, ensuring that it is sealed in place properly so no water can enter. 8. replace door panel.

Raise the top, pop off the plastic retainers holding the rear cover on, or just pry the whole thing out, it pretty much goes back in and stays there even if you don't use all the hardware. Then take the three screws out that are holding the speaker mount on, pry the black plastic cover off, unhook the harness, and remove the three screws holding the motor in place. And you're done!
