Default Where to buy a window motor.

I finally a victim. I see a lot on ebay but are they worth it. Is it just better to buy it from the dealer. Where are there some good motors?

My advice is to get one locally with a lifetime warranty from someone like Advance/Auto Zone. Bought a supposedly new GM motor off ebay for cheap, but it's noisey. Could've brought it back while the door panel was still off locally. Dealer is too expensive, don't think you get a lifetime warranty either. Welcome to the window motor club.

I had to get a Dorman (Auto Zone) and a Siemens (Advanced) since Advanced had one Siemens left . I like the Siemens better if it helps. At least swapping them out in the future will be easier after you do it.

I also hooked up the Autotrix wiring kit to the passenger side. Both of my windows went out at the same time so I can't tell if it helps (though I'm sure it does).

Like 2001NMB said, spend the $55ish local and get the warranty. It's worth it.
