My driver's side window is stuck in the "up" position. I traded out the switch from another X5 - no difference. I need to replace the regulator or the motor. But to disassemble them, the window needs to be almost all the way down, to disconnect the glass from the regulator. How do I do that? It's a Catch-22 - can't replace the regulator 'til I get the window down, can't get the window down until I replace the regulator. Any suggestions?

I already have all the other stuff (panel, vapor barrier, etc.) out of the way.

Thanks!
