1 open door 2 remove inner panel 3 lower window 4 take out window 5 remove (4) screws from regulator 6 take regulator of rails
It is best to replace entire regulator as one unit. Remove door panel. Remove bottom nut of regulator, and remove two top nuts of regulator. Loosen two bolts on bracket holding window. Support window, and carefully remove regulator as one unit.

Have to remove the door panel screws, then remove speaker, drop the cables off the window motor (maybe), drill out the rivets that secure the regulator at bottom and remove two bolts at the top of regulator. push window all way up remove glass from regulator, I used a screwdriver but am sure there must be an easier way to remove the caulk that hold window to regulator. then dats about it..if you need to replace motor same thing drill out the rivets and pull out from right side of door...have fun that project sucked for me..LOL
Did you ever get an answer? I have the same question. I also need to find a replacement right rear window requlator for my 2001 Jag XKR. Where did you find yours? Bill @: jenkinswilliamc@yahoo.com
All you do is take off the door panel remove foam (plastic, rubber) weather guard & disconnect the wires for locks and window... remove speaker. There will be bolts (usually gold) . There are clamps holding the window to the regulator / motor loosen then pull window out through the top of door. When window is free just shimmy the regulator / motor out of the door on the bottom left side (there should be a decent hole to get it through...) once out put new regulator / motor in and place window in new clamps on regulator / motor tighten bolt back together and put panel back on....
It is easy to replace the window regulator or window clips on the rear window of a 2000 Grand Am. The clips simply snap right onto the rails inside that door that connect to the window.
You probably wont. Chances are, if your window doesn't go up and down right, you have a broken pulley in the window regulator assembly. This is common and requires the replacement of the window regulator.
Obviously it depends on whats broken...motor, switch, or very likely in these, the window regulator has a plastic part that snapps. Entire Regulator needs replacing. (The regulator is essentially the frame mechanisim that hold and moves the window glasss). Remove interior door panel to do so. Not terribly difficult, but playing around to get the new one to line up right can be tricky....till you get it.
turn bolts to the left, install regulator, turn bolts to the right
You need a 3/8 drill bit to drill-out the rivets and then replace the motor that way. It might be easier to replace the whole regulator.
Either way you will have to fix it again so you should fix it right the first time and bolt it tightly to the regulator like it's supposed to be.
