Just lay it down with the sticky side up so you can put it back later. You need to brace the window so that when the motor is removed it does not fall.
You can use a c-clamp, or wedge a block of wood. Our preferred method is to position a long screwdriver like the picture shows below. The door is made of a fiber glass material so try not to breath in or get the dust on yourself.
Below you will see the 3 holes circled in red. Using this picture stick your hand in the door and locate the back of the rivets, this will help make sure you are drilling in the right area. Now you should be able to pull the motor out and have it hanging out of the door. From here unplug the old motor and plug the new one in.
The motor has a pin on the end of the gear, we will call it the gear guide shaft pin. That has to be in the correct hole or the motor will not line up. The motor will rest against the mounting plate flush real easily when it is in there properly. Now that the motor is where it goes, you will need to hold it there while getting the screws started.
This part is a little tricky and a magnetic screwdriver did not cut the chase. So like the picture below we tapped the screws to the screwdriver using masking tape. As soon as the screw is tight, the screwdriver can be pulled off with no trouble.
Beneath the door panel you will find a thin, translucent layer of plastic. This cover protects the interior of the vehicle from any water that may splash into the door from above and below. Carefully pull the door off of the sticky portions that secure it. Replacement covers can be purchased at your local auto parts store. Locate the window mounting bolts. Depending on the design of your door, there are a few different places the window mounting bolts may be, but it should be fairly apparent when looking into the door.
Look for the bolts attaching the window itself to the mechanism that raises and lowers it. Different shaped doors will place the bolts in different locations. Move the window if necessary to access the bolts.
In some cases, you may need to raise or lower the window in order to access the bolts. Turn the key in the ignition of the vehicle without starting the engine to move the window if need be. If the motor is broken, you can force the window up or down by hand. Remove the bolts while a friend supports the window. Dropping the window freely could result in the glass breaking.
Raise the window up into the door frame. Have your friend raise the window up into the door frame as though you had rolled it up normally. Ask them to hold the window in place until you are able to secure it. Use masking tape to secure the window in place. With your friend holding the window up, pull off three or four strips of masking tape that are each about a foot long.
Stick the strips to the window on each side over the door frame to hold the window up while you work. Be sure the tape will hold the weight of the window before your friend releases it. Part 2. Remove the window regulator bolts. The window regulator runs the width of the interior portion of the door and moves back and forth in order to raise and lower the window. Find the bolts that hold the regulator to the door and remove them with a socket or open ended wrench.
Locate and remove the window motor mounting bolts. The power window motor is much smaller than the regulator, but should be located close by. In most applications, the bolts securing the motor to the door are the same size as the regulator mounting bolts. Remove them and set them someplace safe as well. Disconnect the motor wiring harness connector. The power window controls attach to the motor and regulator via a wiring pigtail connector.
Press the tab down to disconnect the pigtail then pull them apart to disconnect the motor. Pull the pigtail apart at the clip, not on the wires. Pulling on the wires could pull them out of the pigtail. Remove the motor and regulator through the access port.
With the pigtail disconnected, the power window motor and regulator will no longer be connected to anything inside the door. Reach into the large access port and pull them each out. Be careful not to damage the regulator if you are only replacing the motor. Connect the regulator to the new motor. If you are only replacing the power window motor and not the regulator itself, you will need to disconnect it and connect it to your new power window motor.
Visually inspect the two to make sure the new motor matches the old one, then swap the regulator. Refer to the service manual for your vehicle if you are unsure of how to disconnect the regulator.
Part 3. Slide the new motor and regulator back into place. Insert the power window motor and regulator back into the main service port in the door in exactly the opposite order that you removed them in when disassembling the door.
Replace the mounting bolts. Hold each component in the appropriate position as you return the mounting bolts that secure both the power window motor and the regulator. Thread each bolt in by hand first, then use a wrench to tighten them. Reconnect the electrical connector.
Once the power window motor and regulator are both mounted securely to the door, connect the wiring from the motor to the pigtail you disconnected previously. This will reconnect the power window switches and power source. Remove the masking tape and lower the window back down. Ask your friend to hold the window again. Once they are in place, remove the masking tape that is holding the window up in the door frame. Once the tape is removed, your friend can lower the window back into the mounting bracket.
You can use adhesive remover like Goo Gone on the window if the tape left any residue once you are done. Insert the window mounting bolts.
Have your friend hold the window in the correct place so the holes in line up with the holes for the window mounting bolts. Once the window is in place, thread the window mounting bolts in by hand, before tightening them with the wrench. Have your friend let go gradually to ensure the bolts are holding the window properly.
