Can the motors on these be replaced without the glass? I thought I read somewhere that when you replace the motor the glass comes with it which made no sense to me...

I haven't opened up the front passenger door yet, but the glass separated from the motor it seems (it turned 90º forward toward the engine bay when rolled down). So I asked a local mechanic how much it would cost and he told me both the motor and the glass had to be replaced which sounded like bull**** to me...
