Cannot get motor out

I am currently trying to replace my passenger window motor in my 97 F150. I have drilled out two rivets and it still will not come out. I see no other bolts. Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

If I remember there is a third rivet. I changed out the driver's P/W motor in my 97 Expedition many years ago, sorry can't recall details.

Yes there is a third rivet. It is hidden behind the door. To drill it out, look for a dimple on the door metal. Drill at the dimple with a larger drill bit than you need. Then you will be able to see the hidden rivet and drill it out.

Yes, thank you guys, I went out again and looked around. I also removed my door speaker which gave me tons of work room. I found the other rivet I was missing, and yes I used the dimple for the guide. Thank you for your responses.
