I need to replace the two front window motors , and the left rear. 

Can I do it myself  or  should I take it to the Pro's???

What panels and screws should I remove??? 

I love Car Audio!

Remove the door panal first....like 3 screws...easy

You can definatley do this your self...provided you have some mechanical skill.

A bunch of 10mm bolts and some elbow greese. Put the window almost all the way down and youll see holes in the doors that allow you to remove 2 10mm bolts to remove the glass. The motors and mechanical parts come out bolted together. Do one at a time, and you might take some digital pictures to help you put it back together.

Its an easy job, I know you can do it!

The motor is attached to the regulator with torx screws. 15 or 20.

And putting it back on, you may chip one of the teeth on the regulator.

HMMM...........The regulator is the actual moving parts that attach to your window.  This would be a good time to grease the gear & lube the rails or tracks also

I think I'm set guys; other than discount Auto parts!

What's a good place to get the motors???

The price quote I recieved so far was $90 a piece.
