Default Window is stuck in down position

Hello,

Does anyone know a way to raise the driver door window up manually? My window motor died with the window in the down position in my 94. Tried tapping on the motor, got nothing, it's dead. I am stuck with the bolt that holds the window behind the motor assembly. It looks like the window just needs to be raised a few inches above the motor so there it room to take off that last bolt the the window will not budge upwards at all. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you isolated the trouble to the motor?
Have you tried tapping into the harness going to the motor and apply power directly to the motor?

Try closing the door ( slamming ) while activating the switch, that usually makes the motor work in my 94 Vette.

Problem is that you can not raise the window by hand, the gears in the motor will not allaw you to do that.
