Quite simple. All you need is a phillps and flathead screwdriver. If noone comes in to confirm the first couple screws, I'll update when I get home. I've never done it, but been under there to add dynamat and underwear to stop rattling of the motor, I'm doing this by memory

Remove the dome/map light cover 2 screws

I believe 2 more under the garage button controls, need to pluck off the panel with flat head.

The whole switch and dome light deal comes right out. (remove plugs)

You'll see the motor right there, I believe 3 screws holding motor, remove the plugs swap out reverse process

Its a VERY simple procedure. In and out in 5-10 mins, depending how fast you work

I'm bored LoL Here:

Random pictures I found (dont mind any little color lines, mine are all the big ones). All 4 screws. Look at the new motor when you get it, you'll see where the 2 screws go, just look for them when you remove the panel.

On the side that faces the front of car, there are two tabs that slide forward. Once you remove the 4 screws, it should drop down on the back side, just slide it backward and it will come out.

Welcome to the forums! Since that post was eight years ago, and the last time Lexicious was on the forum was: Last Activity: 05-10-14 10:53 PM - you might want to try other sources :-)

Stick around, this place is a great wealth of information...
