    Trying to find info or a link to buy a good affordable driver side window regulator.
    I would also like to find a tutorial on the process if it's available?? YES, I've seen the beautiful girl in the Daisy Dukes installing a speaker, that is great and it's in my archive (very helpful, I think)
    I ran a search for this topic and didn't find much useful information on this issue.
    Any help would be great!!

    Rob, thanks for looking that tutorial up for me. I instantly saw another type of car in the initial thumb nail picture of that video and thought it was for a different car. Thank you!

    Ok, all this problem turned out to be was the rear window to regulator bolt worked it's way out of the threaded clip. I reached down into the bottom of the door body and found the bolt. I put it back in and made sure all the rest of the bolts and screws in the door were tight. Then I clipped the power window panel back in to watch and see it all work several times looking to see anything else that might of caused this to happen. I added lubed to the guide channel of the window regulator ( white lithium grease). Every thing looked good so I put it all back together. This problem could have been way worse and more expensive but I'm thankful this time for an easy fix!!
