Depending what year your windstar is, it may have rivets holding the window to the motor. You have to drill them out to detach the window. I removed the motor and regulator and pulled the window up and propped it with wood until my motor came in. Now they have the motor/regulator combo aftermarket at Autozone for $69.
I need to know the best way to remove and install the new window motor for a 96 Ford Windstar drivers side. Ray
I had to to take the door panel off remove the window motor raise the window then put the motor back on
It cannot be raised manually. You will have to repair it in order to raise the window.
There are a few "power motors" on a Windstar. Guessing the question might be referring to the window motor, see 'Related Questions" below for specifics about those...
window powered down but will not go up, I can hear the motor running
You cannot manually close a power window. You must repair the problem causing it not to work. Check the fuse, power window switch, and if they are good, you may need a new motor.
the only way i know is to disconnect or remove the motor and manually move the window up until the motor is replaced. sometimes also it could be just the switch.
Yes, you can remove the door panel and manually let the window down. When you do this, be careful not to break the window.

Remove the window motor from regulator. This will free the window for movement.
The motor and/or window regulator may need fixing or replacing. See "Related Questions" below for more
Since the Freestar is just a Windstar with a different name, try the "Related Question" below for getting started with replacing the window motor.
