No pictures or diagrams (but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night) but I did recently install one of mine after having them apart for almost 10 years.

Five helpful tips:

1. It's a PITA

2. Bolt in the regulator first.

3. Do not leave the rear guide on the window. I found it necessary to install the guide after the window was in the quarter panel. Slide it on the roller first and then bolt to the window.

4. No matter how many times you try to insert that window from outside the car it's not going in that way. It will only go in from in the car.

5. Be careful with the headliner.

It's all I got. I hope that helps.
