No, if you have to fix a broken auto window regulator, you don’t have to replace the whole window, but you do have to remove it to get to the regulator. The door must be taken apart and you have to remove the window glass. The glass is connected to the regulator through clips that are held on with bolts or rivets. These have to be removed from the window to get to the regulator. This is the tricky part because you will need the proper equipment in order to be able to get this off and remove the window, so you can put it all back together once the regulator is fixed.
