Default Power window motor

I have had the window regulators out before. I remember the bolt thru the hole thing to lock the spring while removing the motor.
The question is has anyone ever changed the motor in the car? Like a block of wood to hold the window up?
I have to fix it for my trip, but would like to avoid down time.

One of the positive things about being old. We always look for the easy way with the least amount of hassle.
