Default Driver Side Window Motor

So I have a 2000 T/A WS6 and I go to get into my car other day and it was nice so i take off the T-Tops and go to put my windows down and my passenger side goes down but my driver side just sits there. It has never been sluggish or anything it just stopped. I have a feeling it is going to be he Window Motor that needs replacing but any other assumptions?? Still the stock one after 70,000 miles too. I took the door panel off and just need to get a drill for install (stupid rivets) but don't wanna go buy the motor and find out it could be something else... Any suggestions or any good 00 LS1 motor replacement guides?? I only have a couple LT1 so bolts are a little different. Thanks in advance.

They are more expensive and have 12 mo warr. I got mine at Auto Zone - less than $60,00 I think and a life time warr. It is an easy DIY fix. Here is what I used to do mine.

haha yeah i'm going to stay away from ebay, i'll be calling advanced auto today to check about it. I heard it's easy and I already took the door panel off. I'm at college so just looking for a drill with some nice drill bits and it looks easy as pie. Thanks for all the posts guys!!
