The motor went out for the driver side window, and I can't figure out how I'm supposed to get to the motor? My window is stuck open approximately 2 inches, and it's already hot around here, and I haven't fixed the A/C yet. I took off the door panel, and it looks frigging IMPOSSIBLE to get to anything on the inside of the door. If you could please give a newbie to DIY detailed instructions, that would be great!

Remove three motor mount retainer screws using two drilled holes and existing larger hole access to screw heads.
Push the motor toward outside sheet metal to disengage motor and drive from regulator gear. After motor and drive are disengaged, prop window in full UP position.
