I'm installing power window kits in the 1/4 windows - any advise on removing the old windows and regulators would be appreciated. I've searched with not much luck.

I just played with mine a couple of months ago. Start by removing the aluminum 'Body by Fisher' threshold. Then the plastic trim on the front of the rear entrance. A mounting screw is hidden in the window wiper fuzzies. Then pry off the plastic molding. Careful! Then with the rear windows down, search for the two retaining screws that hold the inner panel to the top-inner rear window lip. Pop the window crank handles off. You have the tool,, right? Take out the rear seat. Take out the seat back. Now take off the panels. Slide them forward to remove. Now you'll see the three window mechanism retaining nuts. One at the bottom, is covered in factory black putty. Good luck. It's a tight fit to get them out. These are instructions for the original fit from the factory. Yours is original, right?:p

thanks for the reply Fred, yes they are stock originals. I'll give it a go and hopefuly they come out OK.
