Default driver door motor?

How hard is it to replace a window motor in the dirvers door on a 2000 z28. im guessing its riveted in which isnt a problem but i heard that they have alot of adjustments. is this true?

cant see why the drivers side would be that much different from the passenger, rivits shouldn't be a problem, as for adjustment none really that i remember seeing unless you got more problems then just the motor

Is the motor completly out? If so that will make it harder. If it is just slow, do it now, while you can still move it.

Easy link is http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html I tried to do mine without the drilling in the door panel but DAMN that was frustrating and not worth it. Make sure you take out the speaker so you can use the hole it sits in and replace the damn rivets in the motor with steel bolts (damn replacement rivets i put in sheered off and had to do the whole thing over again. Now I could do the whole thing in 20 minutes. And unless your window isn't sealing right you DON'T touch the adjustments and if you have to there are like 3 sliding bolts with washers you can adjust them with.
