Well if you are changing the whole regulator and motor you can always cut the top wire on the regulator and then the window will just push down :smiley:

Undo the bolts holding the regulator to the door, and pull with some force the bottom of the runners towards the centre of the door.

It should pull down the window enough to reach the window retainer bolts.
