installing rear quarter window regulator
The JTIS guide isn't very helpful regarding this:
I had to disassemble the old regulator in order to remove it, and I haven't been able to fit the new regulator into the opening. It's jamming up on the convertible top bracket; I read a .pdf which claimed that it should clear that bracket if the bracket was pried out ~0.5", however despite doing so, I still can't get it to fit.
Any suggestions, other than removing the convertible top?
Guiding link lead through water shedder (later type), lower motor/regulator assembly through upper aperture and locate adjusters in body apertures
Any suggestions, other than removing the convertible top?

After screwing around with this for a few weeks I called North Coast Exotics in Cleveland and explained the situation to the owner.
He said they normally charge $200 to replace the regulator. Wasn't even worth my time researching the problem on the internet, let alone my time spent fussing with the repair.
Unfortunately, after he saw the car, he said there would be additional labor involved due to my having disassembled much more than he would have, so it did cost a bit more. When I asked him how he fit the regulator into the cavity, he said "you pull the body away." I've no idea how one would go about doing that.
