This is the bolt i broke off, and now i have no idea how or where to order this part, let alone take my window out. I know there are how-to's but is it hard??
 
I don't have a 2G but I have gone into my door to try and fix my loose windows. Really its nothing too hard, somewhat time consuming but really not too bad. You can probably get that part from a junkyard/mistu dealer/Auto parts store (NAPA, Autozone, etc.) You might look into using a screw/bolt removal tool to save the glass.

It's not hard to get to the window or remove it but you have to remove a couple bolts to remove the window from the car. To get to the window, usually you have to

-Find the screws on the plastics of the door (usually 2-3 in different areas)
-Remove the door plastics by pulling carefully along the sides until door plastic pops off.
-Remove the plastic barrier if no one else has been in there before you (save this if possible. Keeps heat or cool air in and helps reduce air movement and to seal the car.

Thats about it. Have other questions, you know where to go.
