Power window motors
1972 my power window motor is burned out with window fully down. Instructions say to roll window 1/2 way down and reach inside to find a hole that I need to put a bolt in to hold regulator in place. How do I get my window to move if motor is burned out ?🙏🏻

You can search the forum for different answers, you're not the first to have this problem (nor will you be the last)
If you are SURE the motor is toast, you can remove the end cap to the motor and turn the armature manually with some vise grips, take a bit of turning but it works.
Be very careful of sticking any part of your anatomy that you've become fond of into that guillotine of a window mechanism until that locking bolt is in place
