My advice is to follow the link that was provided already:
It will come out perfect if you follow those instructions. Once you get the door panel off, and compare what you see in front of you to the pictures in that link, it will be very obvious where to drill the access holes.

I'd get a regulator with the motor on it and four GM rivets. Takes about an hour to do including taking the door panel off.
Dont. Just put the regulator assembly in and be done with it.

Why would anyone want to replace the entire regulator assembly and spend more money when only the window motor is bad?
I don't think the regulator needs to be replaced, but it does need some love. Using some Sil-Glyde to lube up the tracks and rollers will keep everything working much better. (This is the original lube for these parts and will keep the reg happy.)

I replaced the driver's side motor on one of mine about 3 years ago. Original regulator works just fine still. Install was easy, the door has not crumbled from drilling access holes, and no horror stories have unfolded due to this repair.
This is good advice, and something I didn't remember to do last time I had the door apart. I will next time though.
