Subject:Having window trouble

Darn it!  My 88 Vanagon, James, is misbehaving!  It's my driver side window that is the trouble. Power windows.  I know!  I wish they were manual!  But they are not.  I switched the switches, and no go.  I have power to the motor, and it seems to be dead. The other window rolled up fine on the passenger window till I started messing with it.  I think I blew a fuse?  Anyway.  I have the whole door apart, but since the window was rolled down, I can't get at the bottom of the window to release it!  Of course it's raining!  It's Oregon!  It's been nice out, till a couple days ago!  The day it broke, is the day it started raining again!  Of course!  LOL!  Been covering it, but it sucks to get wet when driving.  Anyone know if I can take out the motor without releasing the window?  Links to videos?  Etc...  I will have more time to work on it this afternoon!  Now I am off to work!  Wish me luck today!!!
