If I force it will the window fall and do damage? Is there any way to get the motor out without dropping that V-piece down? I can't seem to get to the screws holding the motor into the gear box....no room to work.

I have done two of these, one I managed to remove the 2 screws that hold the motor to the gear head (leaving the gear head in place) and then rotating the motor so the shaft unscrewed from the gear in the head. The other one I removed all the mounting bolts and then had to hold up the window an carfully push the bolts out and lower the entire assembly down to where I could seperate the parts. I think the first way was easier. It was not easy to get the 2 screws that hold the motor out but eventually I got it. Remember that if you take the motor out then there will be no resistance holding the window up and it will drop down.
