The driver side front door window has been been progessively getting slower and slower where it almost is completely not closing. I have determined that the window motor needs replacing. I have a replacement motor. My question is about the steps I need to take to remove the door panel (which has an airbag) and replace the motor? Can you help?

Yes I can, however I can tell you that the window regulator will also require replacement. The cable attachment at the slider fails and makes it seem like the motor is slowing down when in fact it is a failed regulator. Will you resend the VIN so I know which instructions to give you.
