lol... I know you aren't really wanting one of these, but I've had the Orielly lifetime replacement motor in my car for over a year, and it's just as fast as it's always been.. I have always wondered if there was any way to use a window motor from a C5 Corvette, my Corvette window rolls up/down twice as fast with 1/2 the noise as my firehawk window motors do...

Nothing can beat a local lifetime warranty window lift motor. If a return is needed you wont have to pay shipping a wait...

There are two aftermarket designs. I've posted in more detail about it before, but basically the newer model uses a cast aluminum case.

They pretty much all have lifetime warranties (which sadly you might need) but I'd try to find the newer design if possible. Autozone had both old and new design under the same PN.
