If you have any questions please post below ill answer them as best I can.
My skill level so far is Changing my Oil, and installing a Z-Tube. So I think anyone that's just the little bit handy can do this no problem.
You will need
1 hours of time per door
Patience
10mm socket wrench with extension
Blue 242 locktite ($5.99)
Small Flat Head Screw Driver

Thanks!
I had taken my car to the dealer get the window noise fixed for free, due to the TSB. They only did one side, then I took it back to get the second side done. They claimed to have done the second side, but the noise was still there. I asked them to send me the parts and I used this write up to change the parts. Once I got into the door it was obvious that they either did not do the job, or they used the wrong bolts.
Great write up! A few suggestions to make it even easier:
Use a plastic paint scraper to remove the silver door trim.
Use a drill to install/remove the screws.
Have this write up nearby when you do this.

I've been browsing the forums for a little over a month now since I purchased my G and had this issue. The dealership was quoting $250 to fix both doors. Thanks to your DIY you saved me $225. I figure that'd be worthy of a first post.
Thanks a lot, took me around 1 hour to complete both doors.

Had my door replaced as part of the rusty b - pillar extension about a year ago and once I got it back the creaking was horrible. Today I opened it up, removed the bolts, ground off the non threaded part of the existing bolts, and reassembled. The creaking is gone.
Thanks for the DIY instructions - they made the whole deal easy.

Power Switch Removal
After scratching my door finisher, I read the service manual. It says to pop the finisher loose and then to disconnect the electrical connectors from the back side. The torque specs for the new bolts are 38-52 inch lbs. Thanks for the write up. Scratching the finisher & insert sucked, but it was great getting rid of that annoying noise.
