Default Replacing the window channel

I own a 92' Accord EX. The driver's side window channel is old and when I drive at 30 mph or more the air whistles and a slight breeze can be felt in certain spots. Do you know how to replace it or can you direct to me to a website that may have the instructions? Thanks.

1. you have to remove the interior door panel
- remove hidden screw from door lock pod; then SLIDE the pod forward and pull to remove (do not pull on it first!)
- remove hidden screw from arm cushion area
- remove plastic pin just below sail panel
- pluck away the panel, will need to undo harnesses
- free up the lower portion of the moisture barrier

2. lower glass till you are able to see where it's bottom edge meets with the carrier

3. loosen the two bolts; do not undo them completely!

4. slide the glass sideways to position the bolt heads in front of the larger opening, you can accomplish the same by moving the track sideways

5. carefully push glass outward (away from bolts) and then upward through the opening to remove it

6. pluck away the weather stripping and replace with new one

this is about it. just be careful or pay a pro.
