window regulator self install
I recently purchased a power window regulator for my 1991 mazda rx7 convertible. How hard is it to mount this piece myself? If its possible to self install it, I would be saving a lot of money avoiding a mechanic.

I guess the answer would depend on how mechanically inclined you are. It's not that time consuming, but it can be somewhat of a hassle. The glass must be partially down to be able to remove the mounting hardware & window stops, then once the glass has been removed from the top, you'll have to remove the regulator/motor assembly through the largest opening in the door. It's a tight squeeze. When everything is reassembled, some adjustment of the mount and stops will be needed to make sure the window seals properly at the top.

When I bought the car the drivers regulator was broken and the window glass was propped up by a block of wood.

I never said I put a 2x4 in. I said the previous owner did and left it in to keep window up as he only drove with top down.
