85 Riviera Convertible Rear Window Motors

[hammerala]

I plan to remove the rear electric window motors on my 85 Riviera convertible tomorrow. I have searched my manuals and did not see anything on how to remove these motors any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had to have one of the motors rebuilt on my '84. The guy at the glass shop used a number of long 3/8" drive extensions fastened together with masking tape, and he then taped a socket to them. He then went down from the top and pulled the motor up and out. I don't know what he did to keep the bolt from falling out of the socket. All I did was hold my breath and silently pray.


Good luck!
