I got impatient and just went and gave it a shot lol Luckily, the window regulator turned out to be pretty easy to remove! I just used some painter tape to hold the window up after unbolting it. Pulled the regulator out, popped the track back in place, gave it some grease, and success! Window...

Few months back somebody broke into my '93, forced the passenger window down. This popped the window off the track inside the door. I managed to pull the window back up and I've just left it since then, been lazy. Only way I can think to fix it is pull the whole window and regulator out to get...

That link is great, it's a live directory of the FSM! Wish it was all contained in one PDF though, does anyone have a copy like that?
