Re: Im stuck..Need help on replacing window motor? Re: Im stuck..Need help on replacing window motor? What about switching over to manual windows? I'd like to do this to my car. Where is the window crank location on the door panel? Would it come right through one of the Monsoon speakers? Anyone know?

this is the way i did it with some help. Removed door panel then the three rivets that hold the motor are behind the door so i used my finger to get a location of the rivets then used a dremel to drill through the door. Then drilled through the rivets. The motor came out with some wiggle work the new motor came with bolts and nuts and with the holes i just made lined up great not to mention it will be easier to change out the motor if it goes out again

I know this is an old post, but here goes.
There is a sticky on this:

Here is an updated link to that window motor install so you don't have to deal with a redirect:

My situation is different . When I roll my window down it will roll down and make a klunking noise and continue even after it is all the way down . It won't stop to roll down even after I have released my finger off the down button. Any thoughts

Either your rivets/bolts are loose that attach the motor to the regulator or you have a stripped gear between the two. The clunking is the gears not meshing. The motor will run until it runs in to real resistance at the gear.

Verdad Gallardo I checked the rivets and they are tight . So I am guessing I stripped the gear between them . So how do I fix this ?
Take things apart, shoot some pictures, and start up a new thread. 
I used the provided step by step procedure. If your gear is stripped on the motor just replace it. If the gear is stripped on the half wheel that it runs it then you need to replace that...I would do a new motor replacement at the same time..if free to PM me and I'll help the best I can. I've done driver side n passenger side window motor 4 times each, two on my car and then 1 and 1 on friends cars.
