anyone here ever change a window motor? My drivers side is dead and I was told it was the motor by the previous owner, the switch is fried as well and I am going to be buying one on eBay Once I get the switch if there is still no life I am going to pick up a new motor Anyone have any experience who wants to make a few bucks? I have the car indoors out of the elements but do not have any heat inside… I have the door panel and all that BS off the car and I will put all that back myself… I would like to get this done in the next 2 weeks or so Any takers? ---

This is an easy enough job to just do yourself. There are guides on all the major F-body sites. I did the one in my Camaro in 20 mintues. ---

its really easy in there, drill out the rivets, pop the new one in. Just be sure if you do it or anybody else to make sure they put in a bolt or a rivet that actually fills the hole tight, or else after time and many ‘ups and downs’ they will start to flex and rip apart the fiberglass… ---

Im sure its a fairly easy job BUT Tim has made it clear that he does not want to mess with it.He’s looking for someone to give him a hand.Sounds like Tim has already got the BS work done,so atleast thats out of the way. I’d help if i were any good with things like that. ---
