Are you trying to just move the window up or down and can't? Or are you trying to fix the window tape while the regulator is in the car? I've only repaired a ribbon/tape by removing the regulator from the car.

The entire regulator has to come out of the car.You will have to be careful with disconnecting the glass and getting it out of the door.If the glass wont come out of the door,then carefully rest it inside the door while taking the regulator out.
Then you have to drill the rivets out of the regulator track top to slide the bad ribbon/tape out and use new pop rivets to re-attach.
Its really not that bad of a job once you see what you got to do.
HTH.
