Thank you, those pictures do provide a little more knowledge than I had before.
What I need now is a photo similar to the first image below. I need to see which holes are used to bolt the 3 parts into place. I am holding the regulator, in image 3, as it is shown in the drawing in image 2. None of the holes match up with the mounting locations on the regulator. The long straight bar that goes across the bottom is the only piece I can match up to the holes.

I stepped away for a few weeks during the holidays.
Just got back into my shop last week. I picked up some of the interior pieces this morning. He is still working on the door panels and the back of the rear seat. I will start reconnecting the power seat frame to the lower portion soon. I have ordered the carpet from StockInteriors.com and hope to have it next week. I am trying to finish up the front door power windows. Still hoping someone will post a picture of how the window regulators in the rear are installed. It is going to be pretty cold next week so don't know how much I can work out there.

That would be very helpful, thank you.
I am not really installing them at this time. Just trying to understand them better so a few more days will cause me any delays.

I identified the mount holes for a couple of the rear regulator brackets.
The straight, lower bar in the first image was easy. The second image shows the bar that pivots the window up and down. I think I have located the holes to mount it. I know how this arm connects to the regulator itself. The third image is the regulator bracket. If the top left bracket hole uses the hole just below where the glass pivots then the other two holes do not reach anything. I have it oriented as the drawing shows it. It would not surprise me if I am holding the whole thing upside down.

I would use the original wires as well but I am using a Painless harness so it's all new anyway.
Question: I tried matching up one of the rear window regulators today. None of the bolt holes on the regulator match the holes in the body. Is there another drawing showing how it installs?

I'll get you the whole wiring diagram. It will probably be next week once I have the final parts and I have walked off all that turkey.
For now, I will provide an image of the relay wiring that I got online for these motors. I have tested it and using the PW switch to ground the motors does work. If there are going to be any issues I will not know until I find them the hard way.

I saw the terminals on the Digikey website but the whole site was very confusing and a little misleading so I passed on it.
I did send a picture to YnZ Yesterday folks this morning. The new terminal and connector body are already being shipped to me. Thanks for that info. FYI: Since I updated the motors in my power windows the wiring is all different. I believe all I need for each motor is one wire for power and then ground each side of the switch to the inside of the door. It cuts down on some of the wiring.

I found a company online that makes these wire terminals but they only sold in bulk.
I doubt I could ever sell the remaining 55,992 of them. I'll just see if I can salvage these original connections off the old wires. Better yet, I will probably just splice my new wires into the originals. Attach file: wireconnector.jpg (113.61 KB)
