Steve: I'd lower the window about 1/2 way so that you can see the lower 
rail running horizontal just under the glass. There should be a bolt on 
this horizontal rail that retains one end of the regulator arm, just 
slacken this one bolt up in the horizontal rail. Then remove all of the 
bolts that hold the regulator to the inner sheet metal frame of the 
door. Not sure how many you'll have on the SEC. On the sedans there are 
4-5 in or near the motor and then another two bolts a distance away that 
hold one end of the regulator pivot.  Look for a short metal bar clipped 
into the door frame retained by these two bolts. You then have to 
wrestle the entire assembly motor and regulator out of the door frame 
keeping in mind that the first bolt you slackened runs on the window 
rail and must be pulled clear of the rail at one end. Hopefully, this 
will help you. This has been my experience on the sedans so the SEC may 
be a bit different. \Dick
