nah its easy! I can give you a quick run through? (this is if you own a SP)

Step 1: Remove the trim, disconnect Window Switch (4 screw's + the light socket clipped in)
Step 2: After that is off, pull back/off the plastic held on by the black sticky stuff
Step 3: Reconnect window switch and put the windows up until the two bolts holding the window appear in the two holes halfway up the door skin.
Step 4: Take the bolts off so the window just sits on the support
Step 5: Put the window all the way up - slap some duck tape or electrical tape on it to hold it to the top of the door
Step 6: Now that is secure - press down on the switch so the support is halfway down...this will help when getting it out.
Step 7: On the right of the door there is a central locking motor....unscrew it so its out of the way (you may need to disconnect it)
Step 8: there is 5 bolts/nuts all up holding the motor (3 down bottom) and rail (2 up top)
Step 9: once that is undone, disconnect the switch and then pull the motor out (its tight but will come out)

It is fiddly, but imo....its easier than fitting a whole door - bolting that up. Not including getting the spacing between the doors right. Then there is running the wires to/from the door through the waterproof rubber..

I have pics of the cables that you need for the drives door switch/power window motor if you want.
