Hi Joanie, The book sure is not much help on this one. It is just a matter of removing the window crank handle, special tool can be rented from parts store to remove C clip from rear of handle. Then removing the door trim panel. Once inside the door, there are 3 bolts that hold the window glass lower channel to the window regulator lift arms. Just unbolt the glass, lift it up and tape it with duct tape so it will stay out of the way. Then there are 4 bolts that hold the regulator to the door and 2 more that hold a sliding channel the adjusts the glass for tilting front and rear. Remove all these 10mm bolts and pull the regulator out of the opening in the inner door skin metal and replace. I will post what it says in the book below, but it isn't much help. Sorry you are having so much trouble finding replacement parts. You might want to try looking on line, but I don't know what kind of luck you might have there. If there is something else that I can help with just let me know. I may be able to find a picture of a later model, if so, I will send it. May no be exact, but should be close enough and give you a good idea of what you have o look forward too. Good luck with it and thanks, Bob
