Why not hot wire the motor to wind it down?
If not, you could try pushing them down, if there is no motor... but I doubt that will work?

Is the mechanism still in the door?

You could unbolt it and try dropping it out?

just get a battery and 2 length's of wire. touch the wire onto the window motor terminal's and it'll either go up or down. if it want's to go up switch the wire's around and they should go down..

the windows bottom track only has plastic poppers into the scissors mechanism..carnt you reach up with your hand and pop the arms away from the track ..also keep hold of the window so you dont chop your hand off inside the door when the window falls down

forgot to add theres a philips screw head on the bottom right of the door to loosen the guide rail as well
