Need help with 1991 Civic Power Windows?

Question

I purchased a 1991 Civic that needs both rear power window motors replaced. I found the same car at a salvage yard and tried to pull the motors but cannot figure it out. I removed all of the screws holding the motor to the door but there is one more bolt connecting the motor to the window. The problem is I cannot reach it because the window in in the "closed" position. How can I lower the window so that I can access the bolt? OR, how do I remove the bolt with the window closed?

Answer 1

You could try running power and ground wires directly to the motor wire harness terminals for power and ground from a battery to get the motor to move the window down.
