Hi I have a 1990 Touring and have a heated lock to fit.Had a quick look at doing it and does'nt look like much space to work with.Do you have to take the drivers window out to get access?
Any pointers before I get skinned knuckles would be appreciated thanks.

The part that is most in the way is the window glass guide.
Undo the single bolt that holds the bottom of it, pull down the outer steel channel slightly, letting the felt slide inside it, and the part of the guide below the glass will unhook, allowing you to swing it up out of the way.
