we don't speak the PWM word on here...causes nothing but suffering and heartbreak. I just get angry thinking about f-body PWM's. Probably the absolute most frustrating you can ever have to do on this car.

Just did mine the other day, but I ordered a new motor w/ regulator. My regulator was binding up. It took about 2 hrs. by myself, would have been a lot easier if someone could hold the window while you bolt the new stuff in. But if you are just doing the motor it should be easier. Regulator w/ new motor was 85 bucks

If the repair has already been done with the rivets being drilled out, its really an easy job, if not the drilling part becomes a bit of a pain. Even still, took me an 1-1/2hr the first time, 35 mins the second time...drilling both times.....and lots of Molsons imbetween!

Tthe dorman at summit is only $38. I bought two and with shipping it was only $88. Lifetime warranty too. Just put it in tonight. I did my 1998 TA and my brother did his 2002 WS6. Works like a charm and it was a relatively easy install until I lost one of the tiny mounting screws. It took me a half hour to find it. Other than that, pretty simple compared to other projects on these cars.
