get creative use a c-clamp or gigantic suction cups to hold it up if your stuck doing it yourself.

P.S. very easy to do just maek sure you dont break the switches in the door panel while your taking it off.

I used shoebox’s diagram and changed both window motors in 45mins. The trick is getting a C-clamp to support the window, then drill out the three rivets and put the new one in. It’s a simple job.

A week ago I did the driver side in my lunchbreak, it is really easy with shoebox's guide.

I cut a piece from a wood shelf and used it to hold the window up.

The one in the pic is 6", but a smaller one might be ok.

I did my drivers side about a month ago and it took about 45 minutes by myself. I used shoebox's directions. It was really easy. I just used a mini quick clamp for the window.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I couldn't tell where exactly to mount the c clamp from the picture shown.

If you notice, the clamp is just in front of the door handle. (if that helps)

you can use duct tape to hold the window up. I did the job on my drivers side for about 60$ and an hour of my time When I was at the dealer to get a swich they told me that the swich was not hard to replace but if I had a window motor go bad I better bring it in to them Glad I didnt
