rear window motors

On the lock, most of the time, the mechanism is all gunked up with dirt & dried out grease. You may be able to free it up using WD-40. There should be a small rod from the lock cylinder to the mechanism down inside the door attached to a trip lever. The lower end is where the attention is needed. If you can't manage to get enough WD-40 in there, you may need to remove the door panel to do it. If the rear motor are like the 60 2 door, you should be able to get to them removing the lower cushion as well as the panel.

Subject: IML: rear window motors

I would like to get at the rear window motors in my '59 Imperial. The car is
a two door, so I was wondering if it is necessary to pull out the whole back
seat to do this? One of the widows is working, but very sluggish. The other
may also work with some attention. My drivers side door also will not lock,
any tips here would be appreciated, as the car becomes better and better
looking, I am becoming more nervous about leaving it unlocked.
Thanks fellow Imperialists,
Bill '59 Crown
