Default Quick Driver Window Question, Looking to wedge for now

Hey yall, I need some help here. No more than an hour ago, my driver window was rolled down then wouldnt roll back up. I've tried looking up threads but i have no idea where to take off the regulator just so i can push up the window and wedge it for now. The window makes noise if i try to roll it down, but now when i push up. The door pannel is off, I'm ready to work, but I need yalls help telling me how to rig my window for now. Thanks!

To get it to go up..... grab the bottom of the window, hit the switch (key on, engine running or not.... get better voltage with it running though) and PUSH the window up.

Only other way is to pull the regulator (which I think is riveted in place....) and replace the motor.... with the regulator out, you could stick a board under the window to hold it up.... but, if the board slips, the window tends to reduce itself to a pile of glass bits at the bottom of the door.

Tried tapping the motor to see if it's simply locked up? Happens on mine alot (less than perfect replacement). Sounds like it's time for a new one though.

With the panel off, should be just to the right of the door release lever between the speaker and lever. you'll see three rivets in the panel, directly on the other side is the motor and arm assembly.
