window motors
 

where would be the best place to get window motors? i need 2 new 1's (ds and ps) but i don't know which is best or where the best place to get them... i want new also... something that will last a really long time...

i seem to remember someone having a new, GM replacement motor for sael in the classifieds.

well i was gunna order from the net since i could get the best possible... and it's for my 96 Z28

Autozone - $55 and lifetime warranty!

Same pat number for either DS and PS.

You can usually find them on ebay for $25-$35 each with a lifetime warranty.

napa

i'll be doing both in the near future it seems

A parts house is probably your best bet.

From what I remember, there have been at least 3 different revisions of the window motor, and the latest is pretty decent.

thanks everyone =D

it's incredibly hot in my car and my ds window doesn't work at all... the ps works a little, but it's wearing out... and the air conditioner takes 20 mins just to get it a little cooler but still hot...


but just a quick question... do i need the regulator also?

ive got 2 for sale, just have to pull em out of the 94 Z i got sittin here

how do they work? i'm curious cuz my parents are buying and they don't care about price... i want something really good

these are used they work, but if moneys not an object then just get the new ones!

I have now installed 4 new window motors I got for about $25 a piece off of a company on ebay (1 in my old Formula, 2 in my new Formula, and 1 in my Z). They work great, and are a lot cheeper than the GM ones. The cheep motors come with the same warranty the GM ones do.

It was a royal PITA to install though, but after getting quoted $295 a piece at the dealer, I decided to do them all my self. After 4 installs now, I believe I have it down to a science.

If anyone needs them installed, I will only charge $50 a window ($90 if you want both done). I'll try to find the company I got mine from if anyone is interested.

sounds good but you're not exactly close :lol:

hmm... i'm getting mine brand new and i found some cheapish ones too... and the place i go to get stuff done will charge prob the same or less cuz we're really good friends with the guy

It's an open ended offer. I would prefer to work on them at my house so I don't have to drag all of my tools everywhere. Once you've done it a few times, its not so God awful, but it still can be a pain.

lol true... well depending on what my guy is offering and where u live i'll get back to you =D

the regulator is totaly different lol not electonic at all

dorman is a great brand that can be had at autozone

I am in Wrightstown (Central Jersey). Specifically at McGuire AFB. Like I said, the offer is open to the public (any 4th gen F-body in specific).

McGuire? a lot of my friends go there like every weekend for Civil Air Patrol =D

Well just let me know. The sooner in advance the better, as my schedule tends to fill up quickly. Just one window motor should only take a few hours, if you need both done, I should be able to do it in an afternoon or morning.

ok i'll ask my guy the price and if his is too much i'll come to you... and it is both motors

Cool, just let me know.

drachen, unless your guy is a really good friend of the family doing as a side job and not at a shop, he wont beat call911s offer.

that 90 bucks is less than what most shops charge for an hours work (which wont finish either window in one hour)
