Rear window down, access to motor
A friend has a 96 Bronco, the rear window is down and he has no access to the motor or regulator. Is there a way to get that window up to get at the motor/regulator assembly to remove and replace?
My book said manualy close the latches (1990) and the window should go up,
no luck?

Yes, the manual is right. Fully close BOTH halves of the driver side tailgate latch. (To be fully closed the two cams must form a circle as you look at the latch from the side). This is where the stroker bolt would be with the gate closed. There is an interlock switch built into the latch that prevents the tailgate glass from being raised if the gate is not fully closed. (The glass is pricey to replace so having it is a good idea). Once the latch is fully closed, you can raise the glass from either the keyswitch or the dashboard switch. USE EXTREME CAUTION when running the glass up with the gate open. Support it carefully once it is fully up because its own weight can snap it. Once the glass is up, you can access the tailgate internals by removing the inspection cover on the inside of the gate.

If the motor is turning and glass not moving you need just the Help! window regulator gear plugs 74410. However Ford has a repair kit including the plastic gear in addition to the plugs if those teeth are also damaged. Clean it well before greasing.
