About 15 minutes age i began my regulator replacement on my 93 SC400's driver side. Ive got everything broken down and the regulator and motor unbolted from the door and the glass but i cant get the thing out of the door. One bolt on the upper right hand side will not back out of it's hole, it feels like when i try to back it out it's hitting against the glass and will not back out any further than that. When the window glass is all the way up or all the way down it still hits. Have any of you replaced your window regulators? Whats the trick here? (I don't want to take the glass out of the door...)

 

Hm try these threads:

Read both of those all the way through. Neither mention the removal of the bolt in question. Turns out you have to get a flat head and pry it out from the inside of the door. Be careful tho because you can break the glass where the holes are. I got a factory regulator from my dealership today for 160$ brand new. Installed like a dream and works great. If anyone has any questions about this process message me and i can guide you step by step on how to change these out. Also, be careful if you have a 93 SC400 because its a split year and the parts numbers/configurations are different. Take your VIN into your dealership and they can tell you which part number is correct for your car.
