Window issue.... Ook, so I have determined my driver power window motor is dead. But I am leaving for a month on monday and my motor won't be in until sometime at the end of next week. My issue is my window is stuck down and I am leaving my car in the parking garage at the condo I live in. It's a nice place but there's a few punk kids who I'm sure will break in if I leave it down for a month. So is there any way to close the window with out removing the motor?

is there a wall you can park really close to so noone can get close enough to the door? i watched what was required to move a window up when the motor was totally dead even after hardwiring it and it didnt look like much less work than removing the motor itself

^^^ x 2. However, if your motor is totally f***ed, and not raising the glass up at all, you're in bad shape. The window motors are riveted into the doors, and will have to be drilled out to remove the regulator, and motor. You would then have to prop up the glass with a block of wood, or something.

... So, I guess I'm going to leave it down for another day then drill out the rivets put a block of wood in there to hold it up and call it good till I get home. Thanks for the help guys, I was hoping there was some ls1tech secret trick lol but I guess I'll hope for better luck next time
