Do you mean the window?

If so it's easy. To take the door card off (4 retaining screws), remove the handle, door latch surround, bellows for the mirror adjuster and the door lock pin. Then all you need is a 10mm socket to take the regulator out (3 bolts and 3 nuts for the complete electric assembly) and 2 bolts to get the glass off the regulator.

All you need is a Philips screwdriver and that 10mm socket and ratchet. Easy.

It's no too difficult. Remove the door card and membrane, wind the window about half way down, undo the bolts that hold the glass to the window regulator and lift the glass up and out of the door, tilting it forwards or backwards as necessary.

Refitting is, errrrrr, you know the rest...

Top tip wind glass up then masking tape the bugger to door frame so when you take bolts out the glass doesn't drop suddenly plus its always on the right place for glass guides!  :wink:
