Meth 0 Posted July 3, 2009 I havent looked at mine in any detail yet, but i will need to soon. My guess is that you wont be able to do it without drilling out those rivets. The motor is part of the whole regulator / lifter setup. (That or its riveted onto the arm mechanism aswell). Either way, the regular is mounted into the door by those rivets - it wont come out without them off. As for holding the window up - Masking tape is a life saver. Run a few strips of that from the front of the window, over the door frame and back down the back of the window, give it some extra support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted July 6, 2009 If it's the mech then you need to drill them I'm afraid but if it has a Bosch motor then these can just about be replaced in situ, unfortunately the Siemens ones are different and can't be replaced separately to the whole regulator assembly.
