In Reply to: scratch that. you need a #3 phillips for most of the screws. a 10mm socket works wonders too. --> posted by Matt on September 04, 2002 at 00:06:48:

: BTW, I replaced one a few months ago in 15 minutes, which included gathering tools, the entire job, and putting away tools AND washing my hands afterwards. :)

: : You should be able to do it yourself in 30 minutes - 1 hour. If you have the right tools (a large #2 phillips head screwdriver and some sockets), you should be fine. Just look through the pics, I tried to take a pic of everything that needs to be done. If it seems complicated from the pics, trust me it's not. Once you get going, you'll see what to do.
: : So yes, do it yourself

: : I know you probably want opinions from others besides the author, but too bad :)

: : : i know this is a common problem and submition but are the window regulators easy enough to install myself or am i better off paying a mechanic to put them in. I know about craig's page but i am curious to here how hard or time consuming it was. thanks
