So if I'm digging the motor and mechanism out of the door, would there be any usable components in there? I would think that there might be limit switches but i'm not sure if there are relays separate from the switch.

OK with a small motor, two relays and two limit switchs you could run this off a SLA 7ah battery and keep it charged with the right size solor panel and an isolatoin diode.
What door are you talking about??So if I'm digging the motor and mechanism out of the door, would there be any usable components in there? I would think that there might be limit switches but i'm not sure if there are relays separate from the switch.
The isolation diode goes in series with the solor panel to keep it from draining the batttery at night.It seems like Cowboybob's schematic shows 3 relays, are you suggesting a different setup? Where does the isolation diode go?
What door are you talking about??
The door of the car that the window motor is being sourced from.
A charge controller would take the place of that diode, correct?

No thare are no limit switchs on power windows. thay just stall at the top and bottom.I would think that there might be limit switches
4pyros has a point. Older regulators were a geared arm assembly that raised/lowered the window. Newer ones use a "ladder" like tape for that purpose. As such it might be more difficult to adapt to a door opening rig. Perhaps not.
I have a sneaking suspicion, though, that being a farmer, you're more than used to adapting what you have to what you need...
