Hello: I really long for the days of roll up and down manual windows! The biggest and most expensive issues I had with my old Crown Vic was constant window regulator failures. Now it seems my Impala is following the Crown Vics footsteps. Anyhow, it was not too bad of a job. I have the factory service manual, and it took almost 3 three hours to get the regulator out, and less than a half hour to get the new one in and back together. I can probably do it again in an hour. I am sure the other side window will fail in a few days just like it did on my Crown Vic. What is really sad is that the regulator failed due to a cracked nylon piece that holds the cable to the motor assembly. The new regulator (at $239) has the same design. A failure due to use of plastic and cost cutting. Have a nice day, Bill
