Indeed it is riveted to the door.
Here is a better photo of the whole mechanism for the right rear door

Thanks Johannes. It's presumably that big white pulley that has broken.

When I come to swap the frame over do I start with the window glass up or down or in between? At the moment I can move it so I'll get it to the best position before starting work (though that won't be for a few days).

I presume it's necessary to remove the frame first, then take the glass off it, fit to the new frame and refit everything.
Sounds so simple...……..
(Must remember to get a load of clips for refixing the trim, hopefully A8parts will have some)

I am actually not sure what position will be better.
I removed and refitted it with the window closed, and that made the whole frame easy to handle.
You can connect the wires while the frame is off and lower/raise the window.
Have a look at these photos and see what you think?

That is correct

Thanks Johannes.

How does the glass come out, is it just one bolt securing that black support to the mechanism, then slide down?

Yes there is only a plug with a clip, and one guide on each side in the window itself.
Mind the wire going to the door lock though. I struggled fitting that again.
Try to leave it in the door lock mechanism, and remove it in the end where you found the black thingie

Edit: Lower the window fully and remove half the holder in the bottom, to get the window out. The holder is 2-parts, one on the inside, and one on the outside. Then wiggle the glass out

When the frame is fitted to the door again. You will probably have to adjust the window a bit to get it to close properly. Adjust it in the bottom where the black support is

Thanks Johannes, presumably it's easier to do that adjustment before fitting the frame back on the door?

Just had a nice chat to Maria at A8Parts and ordered the necessary, plus a couple of little items I've been thinking of for a while.
Too big for overnight delivery so should arrive Monday, at least my weekend will NOT be spent working on the S8.

I would believe it is easier to adjust with the frame back on the door.

Maria at 8parts is great
I am in the process of ordering some items as well, from a breaker here in Sweden. But they do not have all the parts I need. So I will be making an order from 8parts as well, looks like

Or maybe it will.
Definitely shipped as a "48-hour Large" item and collected yesterday.
BUT it's made it to my local depot overnight and is now out for delivery, expected about 2pm this afternoon.

Edit: Arrived safely. Courier was very surprised how light it was when I explained it was a large section of a car door, made of aluminium.

Dont forget to lubricate the runner slots as well as the window channels Andrew, makes a huge difference to window load/speed
