Power windows

Ok, I pulled the door panel apart on my '88XJ. I've tested the circuit up to the motor. The motor is getting power.
Are there only three rivets holding the motor in place or do I have to remove all seven of them? I want to pull the motor out to see if it will operate while seperated from the regulator. If I remove just the motor, will the window assembly just fall into the door? Anybody know how much $ you can replace the motors for?

My 89 four door has PW. The right rear goes down about 1". Also, my right front is VERY SLOW and doesn't go down all the way, about 4" from bottom, and my driver's window goes all the way, but keeps clicking when all the way down. Any ideas? I heard someone had a stick caught in the window, will check the right rear one for an object caught.

Don't replace it yet! I just did this mod/fix this morning on my right rear (goes all the way down now)! In the bottom of the door is a hose that moves a bit when you try going up or down. Pull the end of the hose out of the door, try to pull the whole hose off of the "motor" that it's near. Inside the hose is a cable that pulls or pushes the window up/down a track. If you can't pull the hose off the motor and cable, the cable has rusted to the end of the hose. Clip about 2" off the end of the hose/cable and then try it. I ended up clipping about 3.5-4" off, but it was pretty rusted. Once the cable is freed, it should work.
