Try going back a little later and pulling the window up while pushing the window "up" button. There may be enough juice left for it to go all the way up. However, I don't think its a problem if its in the down position as far as changing the motor.

Quoting from another thread:

It ROCKS, and I'd like to add 2 things.
First, when you drill out the rivets from your stock unit, use a 1/8" bit, not 7/32". 1/8" is perfect for one drill through. Also, his advice of using a 1/2" bit is good if you can't accurately estimate where your rivets are behind your inner door. I used a 1/4" bit and had to widen the hole a little, so in retrospect a 1/2" bit would have been perfect.
Also, you don't need a C-clamp because this worked perfectly:
20oz coke bottle fits so perfectly in there that you don't need anything else to hoist the window up under the pad."
The 20oz coke bottle trick was awesome!
