With the front you need to remove the window frame to access the actuator. 5 bolts for the front window. 4 on all 4 corners of the frame and one directly in the middle. You might have to rip some of the plastic, use a box knife so you can tape it back up. After you remove the frame the actuator will be 100% easier to replace, you can actually see what you're doing. Also, the bolts are different sizes, do NOT THINK they can be interchanged. Long bolts go back where they came from, same with the short bolts. Good luck!

ADD: Forgot to mention. Pull the frame slowly off the window, then lower the window a bit with your hand supporting it. There will be two screws holding the window to the regulator, unscrew them and lift the window out. Find a nice patch of grass to lay the window. When you put it back together remember, window in fist, bolt it in! Then, slide the frame over the window and tighten it down.

Remember, roll your window all the way down with the door open. The black frame around the window. Yes you must remove the torx bolts to get the frame AND the actuator out, you can run to Lowe's and pick up the torx bits for cheap. Once the interior panel is removed there is no other metal frame just plastic wrap. It's hard to imagine but once you get frame and window out it will create A LOT more room to access the actuator. Oh, be VERY careful not to bend your window regulator rolling it up and down when the window is out, learn from my mistakes! One more thing, don't unplug your battery, you'll need to roll you window up and down to access the window regulator bolts.
