Definitely the most annoying thing I've done. I've been fixing my moms 1990 miata with the hand crank regulator. And youre right! The space inside the door itself is sooo freaking tiny. I at least got the window out so I didn't break it. That was my biggest concern. Whats odd is it must happen a lot because finding a regulator at the junk yards here is next to impossible! I could order new online, but its like 10x the price and the power ones are about the same price.
Which then begs the question do I go power windows? If so I have to do the passenger side too. So far this had been my least favorite part of fixing the car
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
If you go power windows you would also have to do the wiring, which I wouldn't be a fan of. I'm not afraid of much when it comes to working on vehicles, but wiring is something I'll gladly admit I hate doing.
The worst thing I've ever had to do is change a power brake vacuum booster on Fox Body Mustangs. That's a mother******.

You have convinced me not to. I know so very little about electricity as is. So if you think its a bitch then for me it will be mount everest and I am already sick of the whole thing anyway. Plus, the stupid plastic wheels are breaking down and do not ride smooth within the track. Granted- 30 year old car. Still, too tight of a space.

Just fyi there are like 8 other things wired through the doors. This is a little bit of a pain because shit was bent up in there these mofos **cked up the inside frame or something.

Yeah, you have a whole wiring harness in there for all of the power windows, door locks, etc. If it's the driver's side door it's even worse because you'll have an extra harness for the shit that controls the stuff on all of the other doors. If you have a speaker in the door it just adds one more thing. Window regulators aren't fun, but they're pretty straight forward. That said, if my wife's Mercedes needed a new one, I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole because of all the buttons, speakers, seat adjustment, etc. all over that goddamn thing.
