so, window came off clips

One of the screws was seized and stripped. Replaced it with a allen bolt and serrated nut. Re-install window and door assembly.

When i moved the window down ,it won't come back . I can't push it back up by hand and I cant take it off the securing clips since i have no access to them. I can't remove the whole panel with the window attached

Any trick to get the whole window assembly to come up besides breaking the damn thing ?

fixed it this

Had to drill out rivets holding window regulator assembly to interior door frame. Of course , the wires came off the pulley
Used some low profile allen bolts and nuts to mount the regulator racks back to frame and a low profile short allen bolt to squeze the clip
Re-assembling the regulator wires is a pain and requires 2 persons

But now it works better than it left the factory
