Unless you've replaced one before, I'd leave it to the window replacement pros. It has to align properly. Otherwise, you'll get leaks and wind noise.

Forget the window, find the breaker

Sorry. the video I originally linked to showed window regulator replacement, not window replacement.

Do you have a Service manual ? It's really not that difficult to replace. I did mine on the Drivers Side. The manual tells you exactly which adjustment screw to turn to either tip the top of the window in or out until proper contact is made with the weather stripping.
