Well, I finally got it fixed. Got an new motor/gear unit from rockauto. Pulled the regulator - 6 pop rivets to drill out and 2 nuts to remove - took me 3 hours with dull bits/wrong size bits - just walking all over that door LOL. After you pull the regulator, drill a small hole thru the 2 metal plates near the spring...insert a bolt/nut (i used a #10) locking the plates together or spring will engage when you unbolt the gear/motor assy. Used 1/4" hex bolts (some 1/2", some 3/4") and lock nuts to re-attach regulator. Had to tap #12 threads in the new motor/gearbox because it is ready for pop rivets. The old (OEM) motor/gearbox was bolted in. Also, the new motor is wired in reverse - down is now up. I may rewire it later but it is used so little...
