how long did your original window motors last?
All these window motor threads got me thinking how lucky I am. (knock on wood) my car has 146xxx miles with the original motors. they outlasted the engine tranny and rear. what about everyone else. should these be put in a museum ?

121,XXX miles the other day i was having a hard time getting the window up, i figured the window motor finally took a dump. Luckily, it fixed itself and haven't had a problem since. Rear end is also stock, tranny took a dump at 80 thousand and change but i'd blame that more on my driving habits. Motor luckily is still very strong. I do have the security light on but im just going to bypass it as most have done here. Luckily my care is still in one piece and i plan to keep it that way or try anyways, lol.

Oh, I've read a lot of the info on it and was very happy the first time I saw it since one of my friends told me it was a bitch to change out the window motors on his old Camaro. I was sold after I watched the video. Right now the windows don't get a lot of work anyways with it being sub-freezing temps and I'd rather spend the money on stuff I can use now. But, I'll end up ordering your kit through WS6Store before it gets warm.

124xxx Replaced passenger twice it is slowing up again. I just open the door so there is not so much binding with the weatherstripping and it seams to work fine.
I sure don't want to go to manual windows, to much work for me. I do like the autotrix kit just don't have the money to fix now, I will wait until it stops moving
