Being a professional glass installer... You DON'T want to tackle this job.This job requires you to remove the outer door skin and the inner door panel. I would take it to your local glass shop.

For the DIYer there are some helpful videos on YouTube that explain how to take off the inner and outer door panels and glass from a Saturn SL1.

I'm a novice at body work but the videos worked for me as long as you have the right tools and torx bits. The panels can be removed in about a 1/2 hour.

The window motor itself maybe a different story, the motor is riveted onto the whole of the lift assembly which looks to make it quite difficult to replace by itself. Fortunately it isn't difficult to get the whole lift assembly off and out of the door and which you would need to do to replace just the motor. However, you may be easier to replace the whole window lift assembly at this point. That's where I am at in my thinking having a window motor myself that has stripped nylon gears inside of it.

Maybe someone else has an explanation of how to just replace the motor using the existing assembly.
