Default Window Motor

On my driverside the window motor has stretched out one of the holes. When rolling the window down it skips. I took the door off and the front mounting point has been stretched. What can i do to fix this? The inner doors are fiberglass right?

Take two fender washers and bolt it back up tight with some high strength thread locker on there.

I still have the factory motor, so there are no bolts. Can I just drill out the rivet and run a bolt through there?

Are you talking about the four large rivets through the inner door skin?

Like the ones in the pic?

If so, you might want to make a brace like I did (the white thing in that crude drawing)

Check out this thread (starting with post #19):

In your pic it is the bottom right one that is stretching the hole.
