Finally figured this challenge out, thanks to a great fellow member DUB here. Problem: Power window motor fails and locks up, while window is DOWN. Can't access the three old motor mount bolts because the glass and metals runners are in the way. Window won't budge UP or DOWN.
Solution: Remove the bolts on the Electric Side of the motor (photo #1), this will allow you to expose the motor itself (Photo #2). Turn the motor by hand while pushing IN and the glass will move UP and DOWN. Once I did this, the motor replacement job took less than an hour and the window power is like new. Thank you, DUB!
The third photo shows the infamous "don't forget to temporarily install this bolt" that prevents the large Spring from popping and causing damage. Any large bolt and nut will do the trick.
