Default Need quick help - Window motor install - loud/rough now ***video***

My window motor went out last night, so I just picked one up and installed it. Before putting everything back together, I tested it. And its super loud, and I can feel it actualy shaking the car...

The only issue that I ran into is that one of the bolts wouldn't tighten as much as the other two. It didn't cover has many threads... Could that cause this??

Any help is appreciated, want to get this thing back together asap.

I'll be replacing my passenger side tomorrow.. Maybe it's loud because the door panel is off and not muffeling <sp?> some of the "normal" noise? Remove the motor and see if the sound is coming from the motor itself.

Were you able to figure out your problem? I just put in a new doorman window motor on the driver's side and it sounds the exact same.

The doorman are a lot louder however they should not shake. Take some time to re examine the bolts, most likely they are not tight enough to hold the motor in place.

I installed a door man motor 2 days ago, granted the motor is louder it works flawlessly

Thanks for the input. I put the door panel back on, and it was a lot quieter. It's still louder than the stock motor, but not too loud.
