Removing Window Regulator

[bbressler]

HELP! Trying to remove my passenger rear window regulator. I've got the four rivets out. I removed the bolt that holds down something (a rod that goes up to the top of the door.....but when I try to pull the regulator out, it's connected to this rod somehow....what's the trick?

Nevermind...I got it..

What was the trick?

I stuck my arm through the opening, and while pulling the regulator upwards, I pushed that rod to the inside and backwards. Had to keep holding it in while the regulator passed by it. Hard to do with just one hand. I could have removed the door handle assembly, but I didn't want to have to mess with the rivets holding that thing on...

AMAN!!! to that. Ford likes the rivets to hold the door glass onto the Window Regulator on some cars and you cant use bolts. I try to replace the rivets with bolt if I can...
