Do you need any special tools to remove the trim clips, no I haven't watched the video.
Once the panel is off, you can see what the problem is.
Stupid question, does the window winder motor still make a operating noise similar to the non broken door or does the motor sound really high pitched?
Worst comes to the worst, wedge the window shut with a bit of wood.

So I took the panel off. I can see two holes about half way down and can see the regulator raise and lower. One end seems a bit looser than the other but they both go up and down happily. The glass lowers into a little rubber clamp and seems firm in the front clamp but less firm in the back one. However when I put the glass in as well as it will go and then try to raise the window it just makes an awful clunk as though it's going to send rice grain sized pieces of glass everywhere.
I could raise the regulator up to the top position but wouldn't be able to see the little rubber clamps it slots down into (seeing as there's some give in one of them. For now I'm just providing entertainment for the neighbours.
CYOA
DIY, just not 'home'.
My passenger side powered window just collapsed down into the door frame earlier as I was driving back up the hill to the house. Luckily it didn't shatter and after parking I've pulled it up into place. I pushed the button so the disconnected motor is at its highest but it doesn't appear to be doing much and I can easily slide the window down with my hands.
Is this something I can repair myself? I presume there must be a grip or something that clamps the window in place that the glass has come out of. Presumably this is accessed from inside the door and that panel comes off somehow.
Quick google turns this up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVHaVNclWqg
But can't find much to show the window being reconnected. Is this a garage job or something I can feasibly do myself with a screwdriver?
