1972 Mustang Convertible rear power window motor removal.

I can not figure out how to get the rear power window motor out of the rear quarter panel.  I got the motor loose, but can not figure out how to slide it out without cutting quarter panel metal.

Anyone ever done this before?

Finally got it out!  Even though the window motor is near the access hole, you have to remove everything else before you have enough room to slip the motor and arms out.

You have to take the glass out, then remove the window slide tracks.  All this is behind the window motor.  But it has to come out or you can not get the motor out.

I though I might have to start cutting metal
