Default 81 power window stuck

Help! Help! Help!

My passenger side window is stuck about 1/3 open. I mean really stuck. Feels like motor is seized up.

What are my options here?

I can not access screws to remove window. Can you safely remove motor from regulator while assembly is in door? If so, how?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Really ? Nobody ?

On my 81 I had to remove the inside trim panel to access the regulator. Chances are the motor is pooched and the easiest thing would be to change out the whole assembly. There are however rebuild kits available. Check out E-Bay.
