  • Replacing Window Motor

    I have the new motor, I have done all of my searching on here, and I have read the really great online tutorial with all of the pictures.

    Am I missing anything? Does anyone have any additional tips or secrets?

    I also have a 1/2" drill bit for the door panel and I have blue locktite to hold it all together.

    Thanks in advacne.

    It's really a pretty easy swap. I've already done it twice, some people on here have done it many more times. It's a little tight for space, but if you've read the tutorial you should be good to go. i did it without the tutorial, found it after i replaced it once already.
    Good luck.

      Thank you for the reply.

      I changed it this afternoon. It went very well. It really was simple. The window works great now. I went with a motor from Advance Auto for around $50. I figured it would last longer then those $15 ebay ones. My only concern is the rivets that hold the bracket to the door seem to have some play in them. As you activate the window motor the bracket and rivets shift ever so slightly. Is that normal?


      One discovery I found was my door speakers look very worn out, the paper speaker looks like it it about to rot away. Time for new speakers I guess.

        Do you have any tips for installing the window motor? I am planning on replacing one soon.

            Use 1/4" bolts and nuts instead of rivets.
