Default Replacing a window regulator

On a 2013 xlt, how easy is it to change the drivers side window regulator part number bl3z-14529-ba. The driver side window isn't always going back up.
Funny thing is, 5 years ago when the truck was a few months old the same switch for the same thing was replaced.
The the part is only $40 or so and it doesn't look to hard. My esp insurance has a $100 deductible. Either it's going to be me or I'll have the dealership do it.
Any pointers?

That part # is not the regulator, it's the master switch. It pops out by prying it at each end where there are spring clips.

I had the same problem years ago when it was new and just looked at the paperwork and got the part number from that since it's the same problem.
Thank you.

Thank you Rnlcomp. With the Ford ESP warranty it was replaced again. It was the same master window switch that went bad as before. I wanted to keep the bad one to disassemble and check it out myself. But the dealership said since it was replaced under the warranty they had to keep the old one and send it back. Sounded like a line of crap but it works now.

Very common for Ford to want old parts back under warranty repairs.
