Deffo the right decision to sleep and try again in the morning. Managed to ease out the vertical rubber for the quarterlight, and get the glass and then the other two rubbers out. Still couldn't budge the frame, but removal of the quarterlight rubbers revealed a rivet that someone had put through the door frame into the side of the metal channel. Drilled that out and the frame came out.
More progress, the electric window mechanism got cleaned up and moves up and down through its full range, not massively quickly so might still need to check the motor gears and bearing to see if they need fresh grease, but most definitely calling that a win
Finally, the inevitable daft question. There is a crack in the front lip of the "bonnet" surround, as shown in the photo, which needs repairing and probably a bit of lightening subtraction by building the fibreglass up a little behind it. Can I just check that there's nothing missing here - it's just the shape of the fibreglass supporting the panel?
