Window Motor Replacement

I have a 95 T/A and my passenger window is going up and down very slow, and sometimes it will even stop going up. I replaced it about 2 years ago with one from Advaced Auto Parts. I was wondering if anyone has done the WWW.autotrix.NET fix and if it actually works ,or should I just go to AutoZone and get a new motor?

I replaced mine with the Dorman motors from AutoZone, they seem to be of better quality than the seimens motors I used 2 years ago.

I just did my passenger side. It's nice knowing that it closes all the way instead of finding out later it didn't close.

The shoebox guide is good, but I have to admit the LS1 doors seem to have changed the placement of the rivets ever so slightly.

I also had a frustrating time getting the new screws/nuts in. It's no wonder you have to use locktite, if you don't drill a large enough hole a screwdriver or socket wrench is a tough fit.
