Trying to remove front passenger side window motor. Removed the 3 mounting attachtments that hold the motor in place. Motor backs out of locating holes-some movement but appears to be binding up. Does not drop completely out of door panel. Why??

So there is an inner track for the regulator, it is on the inner door wall, the rollers must go past this track for the regulator to come out, please upload an image or a short video in your response, so I can see what's going on. This window regulators are spring loaded (strong) so be careful removing the motor from the regulator itself. Also, make sure window is taped up to the upper door frame to help hold the window our of the way. Let us know how it goes
