Power window motor removal

i know how your supposed to get the motor out, lower window and unbolt window then unbolt motor and track, but heres my problem.

i already pulled all the wiring out of the car, and i still need to remove the window and motor. any clue how to do this?

im thinking that i can just unbolt the glass from the track, but i dont know how i would be able to remove glass from the door considering its fully closed and wedged into the upper seals...

just touch 2 leads off of a 12v battery to the motor and it will move, either up or down, switch the polarity and it will go the opposite way

Ur trying to remove the glass and window tracks? Its all pretty easy but ive done it too many times. The glass is connected to a bracket that connects to the window track. If u lower the window it makes it a lot easier to reach behind it and unscrew it. After those 2 bolts r off then u can just wiggle the window out. Make sure it goes up the tracks straight but it takes a lil wiggling after that. As far as the window tracks go, just unbolt them and pull it out the biggest hole in the door. Its not too difficult. Hope this helps.
