this saved me a bunch of time and $$$. thx! 2 comments: i agree that it's easier to disconnect the cable to the outside door from the inside. very easy to feel it. You don't need to mess with the outside of the door at all. however, I could not get the old one out without moving the regulator. Once i gave up on trying to AVOID moving the regulator, if went quickly. my hards were too big to get behind the glass, so for disconnecting the regulator hook from the glass, i recommend pushing on the plastic through the hole from the front side with a tool while lifting the glass with the other hand. be careful, though. i've had several people warn me that you do NOT want the tool to slip and crack the glass. i was able to get at the front side of that hole with the window almost all the way down, within about 3-4".
