2005 Mini R52 Convertible: How to Remove Rear Quarter Window Regulator

I'm unable to remove the broken regulator because the bottom screw got in the way when I'm trying pull it out! Any ideas? Thanks.

I was able to do it by raising the window. This separates the regulator and window assemblies and makes the regulator narrower.

I had the window most of the way down initially. Then, once I had the window/regulator assembly almost completely out, I was also stuck. The assembly was too wide with the bottom screw protruding. The adjustment to the windows position (full up) and it came right out!
