The van came home today with the electric window stuck down. Oh no, I thought. Here goes $46 for a new motor, I thought. So I started taking the door apart, with a vague recollection of doing the same to get the power lock to work on the left side. I got the panel and insulator off, and there was one nut exposed for the motor. I took the nut off, but the motor didn't come out. The only other option were rivets. So before drilling those out, I went to the internet.
I found some good advice: check the fuses. But before doing so, I kept reading. Next advice: drill out all the rivets. I was afraid of that. I kept reading. Next advice: drill two 1/2 inch holes where the centre punch dents are, and you will expose the other two nuts for the motor. No need to drill out the rivets and no problem if you don't need to replace the regulator too. I kept reading. Next advice: slam the door a couple of times. If that doesn't work, hit the motor with a hammer.
The last solution worked! And I didn't have to drill!
