C4 Window Regulator replacement

Anyone got a procedure for replacing the window regulators ina C4? Got a replacement coming and don't want to screw up. Is it difficult?

Is this an upgrade to the newer style? If so, do a search here there was a post with instructions a few weeks ago posted.

LOL! I have a 95. I guess there is no newer version. I am going to have to buy a new window regulator for the drivers side. My window rolls up and down fine but the regulator is not holding the glass in very well anymore. I guess I am going to call Chris at superior chevy.

Thanks anyway.

Lesson for C4 owners don't slam the door with the window partially open or use the window to shut the door. Once you see how it is held in place and guides along a rod, you'll under stand why. Apply force will break that plastic guide.

I looked at my doors and the drivers door appears to have the newer regulator, there are two bolts on the bottom. I think the previous owner told me he replaced it. On the passenger door there is only one bold about in the middle of the door. Looks like the passenger regulator is the old style. The one I have coming is the newer style.

Thanks for the links, this should help.
