Ok i don't know if this window is in a bind because the motor froze or something else is got it stuck. I've put my hands on both sides of glass and it won't move. Looks like a bitch to get too the motor too. Lol

hmm...it's possible the gear jumped and you are stuck. have you tried to loosen the 4 screws that hold the motor/regulator to the door? it may give you enough room to maneuver. Also the motor is attached to the regulator by 3 screws if I recall. no more than 4 which you can also try to remove. you can also loosen the rear window track screw for more front to back room.

Does it sound like the old motor is trying to do something when you hit the switch? Bang on it with a hammer, that worked for the Fonz.

My 86 GMC had the same issues. The windows would get slower and slower until they just wouldn't work. I found cleaning the all the tracks, rollers, etc. would fix it for a while without actually having to replace the motor.

Had same problem with my Burb. Fixed it by replacing them all with manual regulators. I also deleted power lock actuators. Got tired of them working slow or not at all! Replace your window channel weather strips and lubing all the slides will help
