    It is pretty easy.

    Have you taken the door panel off and looked at it yet?

      If you take the mirror off and remove the outer wipe strip, it is much easier

        well the thing is, the door is off the car. i detached it with the window rolled down. i have the door panel off and i see a bunch of bolts. should i just unscrew all these bolts?

          are you trying to gut the door, or just pull the window?

              likely you will need to run the motor, grab a 12V battery to power it

                but the thing is, the frame is bent, so the window barely rolls up half way...

                  Take a sawzall & diamond edge blade to the top frame of the the door. :D Then it'll roll all the way up!

                    OH! You didn't tell the door was fuxxord, didn't you think that might be important info?

                    Do as Brandon said.

                      Also, make sure the window matches the door. IE if tiy have a late model and the new door has early internals.
