NB These instructions are a guide on how to remove and re-fit an electric window mechanism and are not intended to be complete. It was written some time after the job was done and some improvisation will be needed.
Remove the triangular plastic trim located just off the picture by prying gently with a screwdriver to first loosen, then use your hands to work it out.
Locate the lower door panel screws as circled in the picture. Tool required : T20 Torx bit (star screw) Gently ease in and then pry the panel with a sizeable screw driver, starting at the outer corner then working around, as indicated by the arrows. The panel will be tough to pull off as it is held by i) Retaining clips and ii) heavy duty double sided seals.
Once the panel is released, lift upwards and pull away from the door just enough to get down the back. At this point unclip the cable connector to the back of the door handle. You should have enough play to move the panel to one side (by rotating the panel onto its side).

Unbolt the 5 nuts circled in green. The mechanism is ready to be freed off. This can be difficult and sometimes manhandling is the way to do it, but basically : a) release the lower bolts from their mountings. b) Work out the top bolts by wiggling and twisting the two metal runners inwards, effectively folding the mechanism on itself. Take care not to catch the bottom of the glass when freeing the top bolts as they are in close proximity. c) Remove the mechanism from the door. Dont snip any cables !! if the regulator appears to be caught, its more than likely the retaining clip has not been released (its positioned on the inside of the door) this is shown by the red circle. Check the door inner for remains of the mechanism such as cable tensioners, retaining clips and the like see the Parts document for more info on these. Its not very technical but the best way to secure the window is with a length of wood, or zip ties (up and over the inner door lip, through the holes in the bottom of the glass and tie) or both
3. Refitting
Generally, refitting is the reversal of removal followed by resetting the automatic memory (described in section 3), however ensure you read the following : IMPORTANT ! : If you plan to test the mechanism freely (without the glass), ensure that the blue slide clips are more or less halfway up the runners. The mechanism will move about 3inches each press prior to the switch memory being reset. If these clips jam on the top (particularly as the glass acts as the stop) or bottom, the mechanism WILL break and I accept no liability on for any damage caused here.
