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
