Well, well, well...this thing healed itself. Within a week or two of getting home, I'd won an ebay bid on a JVC CD-Changer unit and made an appointment for my local CarToys to install it in the trunk and run the cable to the in-dash unit. When I dropped the car off, I thought I'd be doing them a favor by dropping the convertible top to facilitate the installation. As the top lowered, my heretofore hibernating rear quarter-window suddenly awoke from its slumber and retracted as it should. It has been working normally ever since.
Ironically, I had sent an electronic payment to a Florida wrecking yard for a replacement motor the night before! When I groused about the "wasted" money to my brother, he reminded me that it could've been worse, "You could have bought it, and NEEDED TO INSTALL IT when it arrives!" Touche'
