Power Window Stuck

Hi,
We've got a '93 Honda Accord EX station wagon with the drivers side
rear window stuck open about 4 inches. I've pulled the door panel off &
checked the voltage at the motor connector, and it reads plus & minus
11.8 v. with both the drivers power window switch panel & the switch on
the left passenger door. How the heck can I either raise the window or
lower it all the way so I can reach the bottom bolt the Haynes book is
mentioning?. I've tried wiggling the window to no avail. Should I try
to pull the motor out by itself?...or is it necessary to just start
unbolting every window fastener I see? Thanks in advance for any help.

That's a problem. IIRC there is a pair of bolts that fastens the window to
the regulator, on the rail that extends along the bottom of the glass. You
should be able to back those out and raise the window the rest of the way,
but it doesn't sound like that is any panacea for the amount of opening you
have. Maybe it will be better than now.

The only jammed regulator I've dealt with had damage to the worm gear inside
the housing. I replaced it with a regulator from a "we-pull-it" wrecking
yard for $75... the new one was over $200 US.
