I'm in the process of trying to replace the rear window regulator, and have hit a bit of a snag in the instructions. FSM, DIYs, etc., describe doing the job with the window down. Well, the window won't move. I am going to double-check the wiring first (i.e., wire the motor directly to battery) to rule that out, but can someone explain to me preemptively, since I may not have time to get back online while I'm working on it, how I proceed if there isn't any way to get the window down? Any way to do it manually? Or just wedge it in place and try to get the clip off? Of course I don't know what the clip looks like or how anything comes apart, and I can't see it up there. One way or another I need to get the window down, so I can paint along the sill on that door (and get the quarter window out too).
Oddly enough the wires in the door jam look fine, though I need to cut apart the bundle and look closer ... they were an obvious mess on the other door.
