I just did the drivers door on my 94 Ciera.

Basically you need to:
1. remove all the door panels, etc. Tape the glass to the frame in the 
up position with as much duct tape as needed. Unbolt the white plastic 
"sash" from the glass (2 bolts)
2. punch and drill the rivets for the regulator (tape) track with a 1/4" 
drill (4 places)
3. drill the rivets holding motor to regulator with 3/16" drill(3 
places) Be careful to note which holes were used so you know which holes 
to use on new motor !!
4. unplug motor wire harness

Reverse above to install new motor.

If you do not have access to a heavy-duty 1/4" pop-rivet tool (I did), 
Nuts and bolts might work if kept short, and of a locking (NyLoc ?) type

Have fun
