Default Help w/ RS Window

RS window was stuck in "up" position. Pulled switch and had 12V to switch. Began collecting tools to pull door panel and checked a few threads here on how to pull panel.

Along the way, a couple of members mentioned closing door hard with switch depressed occasionally works (yeah, right. I'm NEVER that lucky).

After spending $50 first for rubber mallet (to tap door panel), K-D Tools trim puller, white lithium grease for window track, I got in car, set ign switch to accessory position, depressed window switch and closed door hard.

Window works fine. I'm now going to buy a lottery ticket!.

Anyone know what happened?

Rubber mallet? I can see maybe the Trim Tools. Heck, on my 93 I pocket screw driver and #2 Phillips and I can pull the panel. With no damage I might add.

Anyway, hope it keeps working. If you do have to pull it, FYI, the hidden screw behind the door lock indicator, might want to get that one.
