So starting to work on my long to-do list and have a question on the rear window regulators. I've seen many DYI's for rear regulators but not with the shade. Can I just pop off the door panel with the shade attached? My window is stuck in the up position, do I need to lower it to swap out the regulators?
Thanks

You don't need to remove the Big shade just the small one....Here is a Great DIY with pictures .....

Rear window stuck closed? Likely cause: child lockout switch located on driver-side switch panel. Turn it OFF.
Then, save money by rebuilding your regulator:
They're only $30 on ebay. not really worth the time and effort to rebuild
Thanks for the DIY link! So I have some questions on how to remove the plastic rivet thingy behind the green cable shown in the pic.

they are like push pins. just grab the pin with needle nose pliers and they come off easy
So finally had some time today to finish this but don’t know how to take off this little plastic rivet thing. It’s where the door lock swivel attach a to.
