any suggestions on how to get the window up far enough to remove the bolts from the regulator.

 

take the panel off and get a girl with small arms lol

 

what do u mean lol , unbolt the regulator first, then u can get some movement to get ur had in there to remove the glass from the reg.

 

Mine was stuck all the way down, I was able to get a box wrench on the left one, the right one I was able to get to by taking out the speaker and using a box wrench again. It was very small turns at a time and took awhile but got it.
Hard reach on that right side one though, have a magnet handy for when you drop the wrench.
If you just can't get it cut the wires on the regulator then it should freewheel. I assume you motor died, you can get the motor and reg together for not much more than the cost of the motor alone.

Also if you unbolt the regulator and motor that should give you a couple more inches of movement.

 

^+1. Save yourself time - cut the cable and replace everything.
