QuestionQUESTION: THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW TO DROP OUT OF THIS JEEP (USUALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE VEHICLES - WE HAVE 2) I copied your instructions to Heather on how to remove door panel. Now I need to know how to fix this window-drop problem. I don't know what I'm going to find when I remove the panel but would like to be prepared to fix whatever must be a common problem as this is the second time (different window) that we've encountered it. Could you help?

QUESTION: Thanks for the specific answer. How do you replace the regulator and motor assembly? Is there a repair manual page available or can the job be done with verbal instructions? Your instructions so far have been excellent and specific enough to accomplish the task at hand.
