[W126 Coupe] need to replace the driver side window motor

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Axel and Gary,

I think you will find that the glass can remain in place on the metal 
track. (the horizontal track the lift arm nylon glides run in)

Just shim it from the rubber weather seals so it does not drop.

If you able to think backwards, you can remove the holding plate where 
the motor gears interface with the lift linkage (arm) and replace the 
motor without dropping the lift out of the door.

If this seems a challenge remove the lift and motor intact and then 
replace the motor on a bench.
