Re: power window failure
You're going to have to replace the window motor. If you are going to use the bolts supplied (and not new rivets), it makes it easier if you use a dab of JB Weld to hold the nuts on the back of the motor housing. Thread the bolts by hand to get them started then put the wrench on them.

Do a search for the word "bogus" and you'll find the motor replacement thread that makes life super easy.

Re: power window failure
I wasn't clear. Use the JB Weld to hold the nuts to the back of the motor until you position it and thread the bolts. Otherwise it's near impossible to finagle the nuts onto the bolts inside the door with the motor in position.

Re: power window failure
Hot Glue works also for holding the nuts in place until you get the screw through it - just need to hold those little suckers on there until you get the screw started into it - like gluing the lug nuts on a race car wheel.
I also just ordered 2 window motors from 1A Auto - $59.90 with free shipping. (1A Dan is a member here).
