I've done this a few times, but you can get the door panel off in about 10 minutes and it really isn't too much work. Screw in the courtesy light recess, screw behind the triangle trim piece, take the small trim off the interior door handle, unplug window button panel, and unplug mirror switch if working on the drivers side. Then it just lifts off.
I would still totally understand waiting for warmer weather haha, just wanted to show its not too bad of a project. I have replaced my window regulator in the cold before and it wasn't too bad.
Here is a video in case I missed something:
