I am having trouble removing a blow regulator from my drivers side window. I am to the point wear I need to take out the actual motror. There are two twist type plastic pieces that I cannot twist off. They are attached to the coil that leads to the motor on both sides. Also, I cannot get the top bolt off that holds up the window. Please help.
