Have not tried top remove the door panel yet but looking at the options for windowe regulators and motors for the 02 grand am's it looks as if the mototr is actually rivetted to the requlator. Have been looking at e-bay for complete regulator and motor assemblies http://search.eBay.com/Pontiac-grand-am-window-regulator_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1 maybe this will help. It sure has me confused.
AnswerFound a very good site that has illustrated the door panel removal and window regulator/motor replacement along with diagnosticshttp://www.a1electric.com/grandam.htm
Answer
Repair shop wants $616 for parts and labor to replace the motor and regulator on my front driver side door. They already charged me $90 of that to take off the panel and check it. Had I known it would be this expensive, I definitely would have tried it myself!
UPDATE: 12/16/2008
I am having to replace my Front D.Side window regulator and motor in my 2001 P. GrandAm. The motor is actually bolted to the regulator on OEM part that I removed on the 2001, but in reality ... it doesn't much matter; most sites I visited sell the motor or the motor and regulator together. I really only needed the regulator myself. I haven't rec'd the part I ordered yet, but I guess worst case scenario, I have an extra motor in case the new one fails. Although, my guess is that the OEM motor may not likely work with the new replacement part set-up. The website you referenced was awesome ... it was to the letter how to get the panel off. I have already removed the old part and just waiting for the new to arrive so it can be installed.

Was the the Eiffel Tower welded or screwed?
Neither, it was riveted together. Initially the pieces were assembled in the factory using bolts, and then were replaced one by one with heated rivets, which contracted during cooling creating a very tight fit. Only a third of the 2,500,000 rivets used in the construction of the Tower were inserted directly on site as preassembled and riveted pieces were built off site.
