You're welcome.  The easiest way to get to that solenoid is to remove the short
track that is horizontally mounted with two nuts, and holds the back side of the
window regulator level.  Put the window up first...this will keep it from wobbling
around and getting in your way.  After the track is out of the way, and the rivet is
out, swing the solenoid up, unhook it from the linkage, and pull it out, unplugging
the harness.   You will need to take it out in order to get the bracket off to put a
bolt into it.  I have tried tightening a nut against the bracket to keep the bolt in
place until you can get a nut on the outside, but that takes up too much room and
makes the mounting wobbly.  Just hold it all in place with one hand and start the
nut with the other, just using one nut on the outside.

As usual, a pix is worth 1000 words......
