Default Need help fixing my passenger window

Hello all,
I noticed that my window in the passenger side would go down but when it was time to roll that puppy up, it only rolls half way up and stops. In one of the posts here I saw good things on the Autotix mod, so I went ahead and bought me that mod. Once received, I went ahead and installed it and still had the same problem, no change. I did hear the relay clicking but the speed of the motor was still the same. I guess I will have to get a new motor. I just wanted to know where I could a get a good motor, should I just go to the dealership and purchase one or should I go to Autozone or O'Reillys?
Would I just need to replace the motor or would I have to replace something else?

Car info:
Trans am 2002/67,254 miles/ONE owner

Thank you,
Ray

Autozone dumdumdum- lifetime warranty means you get to just pick up a enw one when they go bad.

I suggest going to the shbox.com site and either printing the pix out or bringing the laptop to the garage for reference.

First time, you will need to drill out the rivets holding the motor to the arms/frame (not sure what its called). Its not hard, just time consuming if you haven't done it before. Ive never drilled or "worked" on a car really and it took me an hour.
