Default Any way to get window up manually?

I currently have my driver door panel off because I tried cleaning the window motor. It still won't go up so is there any way to get the window up manually while the door panel is still off?

No but plug in the switch and tap on the motor lightly with a hammer/screwdriver while holding the switch up and see if it works.

if you can grab a hold of the window while holding up on the switch you should be able to pull it up slowly and painfully.

I tried cleaning my drivers side motor as well --one of my bushing was worn down too far --since I didn't see how to replace the bushing in the motor housing and didn't know where to find one in a reasonable time --I elected to just replace the motor ( $200 fro Nissan)--works great now.

i dont know if it will work but buddy on this site "krank" just called put your key in the keyhole on the outside and turn it to lock the car and hold it for a second it should make the windows roll back up. I just did it and no more trashbag for me lol. it will work for me at least until i can get to the dealership.

most window motors have an allen key socket for manual up/down on the motor itself... unfortunately ours do not

I got new (remanufactured) motors from Autozone, they were about 1/3 the Nissan price.
