window motor problems fixed :) i accidently erase a whole detail of my window motor installation that went wrong but thankfully that got fixed
Basicly i removed the wrong rivits, took me a good while getting the news screws to hold the window assemly correctly. once i did i got the motor in. had my dad and my brother hold the window up all the way installed the motor and all was good, now this is just a short description, but after what i had written in detail was accidently erased by me, im just summerizing everything. I got some pictures too. Any questions just let me know. You'll see the errors i did but thankfully i got her done. Definetly 3 man job mainly to hold the window aligned. I can' probably do the passenger window in 2 hours or less took me 16 hours with many errors to get the driver side done. Heres some pics.
very, very important that the wheel is inside the runner the upper one and the lower one
not that great idea to install the window motor when the assembly is off the door, had the put the assembly on, then put the motor in. Make sure that the window is all the way up when installing the motor, i think that is important.
the spring fell off and i couldn't use no more, and next to the spring are extra parts that came with the new motor, had a few metal parts that i didn't use besides these two,
finally the window is up and closes as it should

I will put on locktite, im going to wait a week, shouldn't be too bad if i take out one at a time im sure the window wont move. I will definetly be paying attention to the loose bolts, im hoping that doesn't happen. Its a paint to put everything back together.

The new window motor is great im surprised how much fast the open and close. Makes my passenger windows seems so slow. One thing is for sure i wont make the same mistake with the passenger window. And i'll make sure to have my instructions in hand.

Just remember the 4 rivits you see as soon after you take off the plastic wrapping are not the rivits you're going to remove.
The rivits you're going to remove can't be seen untill you makes holes into the fiberglass. Very important.

I'm pretty sure you have to remove the entire regulator assembly with the motor attached to do it without drilling thru the door.

Most everybody here say autozone window motors cause they give replacment motors if theres fail. I don't know the brand i got but i got it from autozone.
