After that point I dropped it off at the shop. If it had stuck in the open position I could have gotten to the motor easily.

The wire from the controller runs under that plastic channel which is easily accessible, however on mine the wire coming from the motor isnt long enough to allow the connector to be placed in that channel.
My solution was this , and easy to do while the slide is operable ..
Open the slide enough to easily reach the motor area
Pull off the plastic track to free the wire
Pull back the rubber and see where your connector is
You want the connector behind the motor , so push it in and behind the motor . You can also access the wire from the outside if need be, to position it.
Gently , so as not to pull it apart , pull the connector towards the top outer corner where the wire goes over the top and into the channel.
You are going to run the wire down the track and make a loop at the bottom where it exists the plastic channel to take up the slack and hold the connector safely behind the motor and in the upper corner.
Snap the plastic channel back on(with the wire behind it) pinning the small loop of excess at the base of the plastic channel.
This seems to work perfectly and is an easy fix without removing anything other than that plastic trim piece.
