Video / instructions for rear door power window regulator/motor?

I'll have to update our "garage:" Husband totaled his '05 avoiding a herd of deer, but got an '07 from Florida within weeks with fewer miles on it.

Rear passenger window doesn't work, though, so we've ordered/received a regulator/motor.

I did a search, and came up with a Youtube video on replacing in a Corolla -- but are there any more "specific" instructions out there, for this task, that someone can quickly refer me to? Or will that video be close enough?

Thanks

Should be the about the same. I recall a post on here where someone used parts from a Corolla to install power windows/locks on his Vibe, and I used a Corolla power lock/latch to replace a bad one on my 03 GT. I did notice the wires on it were a bit different, but it works just fine.

Thanks for the reply -- but, unfortunately, hubby did insufficient troubleshooting and it's NOT the regulator/motor. He never bothered to test the window on THAT door -- just tried the switch on the driver's door. Turns out the window's fine - must be the switch.

Anyone ever replaced THAT?

switch is way easier to replace compared to a window motor/regulator. It's only held on by 2? screws, do a search for 'vibe drivers window switch' and you can find plenty for sale.
