    Power windows stuck down, where do I crank with hex key?

    I've searched both visually with the door card removed, and on the forum for how to do this. I cant find where I'm supposed to crank with an allen key to get the windows back up. Can someone tell me where it is on the motor or show me a picture? Thanks a lot!

      i know on my early(86) there is a blue button looking thing in the middle of the door panel that you pop off, and you stick the key in through the plastic and you gotta crank HARD for it to move. i've have my fair share of motors and tracks break

      if you need pics i can grab some tomorrow morning

                          Not sure but somebody may confirm... I believe only works on early model cars. it's a pretty obvious spot on the motor.

                              i worked on an early model car once. obviously, the motor was spot on and pretty.
