My driver side window in my 82 GMC Sierra is stuck all the way up. I bought a window regulator, so hopefully that will fix it.

My truck has manual windows. Is it very difficult to install the window regulator? Any pics or info on installing this would be great.

Thanks guys.

If you're not used to working inside of doors, you probably will think it's a pain. But it's not too bad. Remove the interior door panel and unbolt the regulator from the door. Then slide the regulator's arms out of the tracks and wiggle the regulator out of the door.

It's always a little more difficult if the window is stuck all the way up, but it is doable.

I don't remember it being any different, other than getting the motor unplugged.
