Default how to replace window regulator assembly?

OK, so my window will no longer roll down in my 02 WS6. So I bought I new window regulator assembly. Anyone know how to put one of these in? Ive replaced window assemblies on various other cars but never a TA. I was curious to see if anyone could offer me any tips or tell me how difficult it will be. Thanks much...

Its real easy. Just put it back together the same way you take it apart. Make sure you have the window in before you rivit the regulator in. I had to cut my new rivets off when I did mine because I didn't have the window all the way in the track. Don't spin the rivets when you drill them out, because it will burn the door. Get a cut off wheel if you need to.

Should I just use a standard pop-rivet gun?

Thanks for all the help. I ended up replacing the pop-rivets with nuts and bolts of the same diameter (that way if i ever have to replace it again it wont be as difficult). It was fairly easy for the most part. I did scratch up the tint while putting the new regulator in. Thanks for all the help!
