first remove the door panel (don't forget electrical switches and 2 bolts as well as all the plastic clips) and the plastic weather cover.

locate the motor and remove its cover by unscrewing the 4 retainer bolts (using a torx T20 screw driver). This cover has the magnets in it.

now you will see the armature of the motor, this component has a gear on it that raises or lowers the window.

with one hand push up on the base of the window assembly and with the other turn the armature counter clockwise.

This is a slow process, but will get your window up.

if you don't push up enough on the base of the window enough, the armature will 'unscrew' from its 'gearbox'. to get it back in you screw it the opposite way, being careful to move the 2 brushes out of the way (spring loaded brushes can be held out of the way by pulling back on the small connecting wire).

good luck.
