The next few challenges have to do with the physical installation.
First, one must remove the "lower channel" from the window glass, which has the regulator stud slider slot attached to it. I doubt you can get this off with a rubber mallet and block of wood without breaking the glass. Instead, I used a handheld pneumatic cut-off tool to remove the slider slot (to gain access to the bottom of the lower channel metal) and then cut a deep groove across the entire length of the bottom of the lower channel. This allows one to pry one lower channel side away from the glass without breaking the glass. The result (after cleanup) is a bare, unbroken window glass.
