What you will need
- Mechanic Tool Set (Metric)
- Screwdriver
- Ratchet wrench
- Pliers
Procedure
- Remove the screw located behind the door handle.

- Next, remove the window switch from the door panel.

- Pry out the door panel and remove it.

- Next, lower the window so the regulator bolts line up with the two access holes. The access holes are covered with plastic tape, so you must remove them to expose the window regulator bolts.

- To pull up the door glass, you must loosen the two bolts. Secure the glass in the up position with tape or have a helper keep it up.

- Remove all bolts from the door panel. In this case, you must remove the black bolts while leaving the silver bolts in place. Bolts that need to be removed have been circled in red.

- Remove the Nissan window regulator and motor.
- Install the window regulator in reverse order.
