Question on Window Regulator Replacement

[bhaggen]

What about the rear regulator on an 06 convertible? I just did the L/F & now the L/R. These "fishing reel" regulators are for the birds!

The rear regulator is quite involved, I'll do my best to highlight the key points.

First you will have to remove the rear interior trim panel, then the window weatherstrip. Then you have to raise the window about 6 inches, then remove the regulator fasteners are the top of the side panel, there are two. Then remove one fastener at the side, then finally the fastener that is accessed through a hole below the speaker. Slide the regulator out and disconnect the electrical connector.

Raise the window? It won't rise although I can hear the motor and there's no access behind the trim panel. Does that whole black piece on top come out separate or as part of a whole window assembly? Maybe you could do a piece on the back like you did on the front. I'll take photos as I stumble through this nightmare.
