Lightbulb TA Window Motor Write Up??

I have searched endlessly to no avail. I have been able to find a write up on how to replace a camaro window motor, but not a TA motor. I was wondering if there is one, and if there isn't, then is it a lot different then the Camaro write up?? Any info would be appreciated, especially if you TA guys have done it before

I'd like to know this as well. This is the 2nd time my windows are screwing up and this time I don't have any warranty!

T/A's and Camaros are the same procedure.

The locations where the rivets are different in the pictures though, since T/As and Camaros have different doors. You just have to eyeball the locations where you drill.

The rivets holding the motor were in the same locations in my TA and bros Camaro. Use the above how-to.

It's all the same. Just don't drill all the way thru your door.

Well, they're in the same locations, but if you look at the picture of the Camaro, and the door on a T/A, you can't really match it up because they have different "landmarks" in the door panel.

Camaro or TA, each window motor has 3 rivets in the same place, and all are visible. If you can figure out how to get the door panel off, that's all the brainpower you'll need to locate the rivets and drill access holes in the door panel. You don't need an overlay or template. Use some common sense.
