Default replacing window motor on a 1995 grand prix

i have a two door, 1995 grand prix. my drivers side window has stopped working. it's not the switch and the window moves up and down while pressing the switch if i give it some help. i'm assuming this is the motor? i bought a new motor and managed to disconnect the old one to test the switch on the new one and it works with no problems. my issue is that the motor is pretty well hidden within the door. is there a way to gain access to it or am i better off taking it to a mechanic to replace the motor? or could i be totally off and it may not be the motor at all?

This site has instructions for replacing 1997-2003. I don't know if it's similar to what you have but it's a place to start.

i saw that, but unfortunately it doesn't apply to the set up on the 95s.

i had trouble getting it out since it's behind that big panel. i eventually sucked it up and took it into the shop and had them do it for about 125 bucks in labor. any suggestions for the future?

Ouch, i could probably post some instructions on it for other people with the same year of car, it's a really tight fit so it takes a bit if patience. I'll pull my panel off and take pictures and set up a little guide if you want.
