as long as it's not cut at the main plug/harness passing through door frame, it should be an easy job.

disconnect all the plugs - pry out wire holders and install in reverse order.

The harness I'm talking about looks like it runs threw the firewall.

if what you see in going in to the door isn't cut - it would be just the door harness. two harnesses connect at the door frame with a weather-pack type connector.

as for tips on removing, a small screwdriver covered in masking tape has helped me before. being very easy on the force levels, of course.

have you thought about re-wiring your harness, as I assume you haven't purchased a replacement?

Yeah I've tried re-wiring it before its just to damage the car has been threw a lot it use to be my girls then at one point everyone in the family was using it. After a while everyone forgot about it it was just sitting in my inlaws garage till I went over and pick it up and fixed it re-did the heads and just a little maintenance after that and now that's my daily driver beats driving my girls Lexus or my challenger.
So on a side not I went to the dealer I purchase all new window harness for both front doors. And a new window run since mine was half ripped.
