rear window stuck down

ok, i know this has happened to someone before, my window is stuck in the down position and the window motor isnt working, i disconnected the key thing along time ago. but i cut the wires that run through behind the driver's tail light and hooked a 12v source to it there, so its gotta be the motor. i cant get to the motor with the window down. what do i do? i dont wanna break the glass!!

Thanks,
David

Push on the tailgate above the keyhole to be sure the safety switch knows the tailgate is closed while you attempt to raise the glass.

When the gate is open,you can close the lock to fool the safety switch.What your fingers.Also be careful of the window as it comes out.Take the panel off the gate and look for loose or broken wires but I think the safety switch is probably not getting closed.Mine will do that at times and the easy solution is to move the Bronco to level ground.
