Window Bracket Problem....Please help!!

[firebirdman469]

Hey guys, I need to take out the drivers side glass, and replace the metal bracket at the bottom of it. Is there a write-up or simple instructions on how to get the glass out? I need to have this done by next week. Or, if there is anyone that would be willing to help me, I pay well...

so your putting in a new window regulator? am I to assume it has a motor built on to it (most new regualtors have them from the factory)

if so its pretty easy im sure someone can post a link. its as simple as removing the panel, removing some nuts, drilling out some rivets, and moving the window around until its off the tracks. it is a pita but its not too bad
