Many years ago GM went to these nylon ribbon/rack mechanisms for window regulators...you should be able to discern this if you have the panels off. Get thee to the GM dealer and check the price and mechanism availability...you'll be able to see at what level of disassembly you have to do. I replaced a regulator on an x-body gm car (1981 citation) and from what little I've seen of GM body/window parts over the last 20 years not much has changed...it's a significant cost reduction item on GM cars and it's not likely to change soon. If you can't tell from the GM parts guys picture (and it's likely to be in stock....they DO fail often enough to stock if the car is new enough or the part fits across many bodies) or the part itself, you probably don't have the mechanical skill to replace the mechanism and will be better off leaving it (and the blond, sigh) to the professional mechanic. That way HE can bust it up and learn on the dealer's nickel how to do it if he's never done one before. ROFLOL!
