I have the common problem of strange uncommanded window opening that may be related to chafing of the electrical leads in the harness where it goes through the door. I am working on the driver side but I am stuck at the point of getting the harness through the door frame because I canot get the electrical connector off the window motor. It seems to be extremely tight and I am about to mutilate it to get it off - any advice ?
