window motor install
i just put in my window motor using GM's service information online and a guy that use to work at pontiac (i work at a GM dealership) and it was still a major pain in the you know what. Man i am glad it is done though. i got my window motor on ebay for $25 plus shipping. i got out cheap but if i had the money i would totally have taken it to a shop. or at least bought it from a store so i could get all the hardware. Just mainly want to say if you can get this done at a shop I would. Just my opinion. i feel like i have been

Did you remove the entire Regulator assembly? I just replaced my drivers side an it was not that difficult. Was a pain, but I wont pay someone to do it.

i don't know maybe it was because it was doing it at work and so i had to stop and come back several times. after thinking about it I would probably try it agian. one of my friends has to do it on his 1997 camaro but i think the biggest pain was the rivets.

If you drill the rivets out, I would recommend replacing them with nylon bolts and nuts. I am an idiot and drilled out two of the rivets holding the entire assembly in. Once I realized my mistake, I replaced them with the nylon. Holds just fine.
I have some pictures I can send you via email if you want.
