From reading these...I'm guessing that most of the people (like me) who had to replace their drivers side motors, is probably because they most always roll down both windows at the same time, causing the two motors to both wear out due to low power. I bet at least 90% of the time I roll down the drivers side, I"m rolling them both down, and hell opening the top at the same time too! I want this kit, and it seems like a great price if you ask me. Too bad for me there are alot of things my Z, truck, tbird, and house all need so it will have to be prioritized because of limited funds, but I'll probably do it by the spring I think, partly because my passenger side window is on it's last legs anyway, so both at the same time. BTW did my drivers side last year too. Anyway, Looks Great and a great value!

We are currently installing this kit(blinker kit) on a 98 honda accord (rear lights) and a 70 Chevy Nova (Frt& Rear). This kit can be a universal fix for most late 90's vechicles and so far the interest is 50/50.
The Drivers side window method is being explored and we should write up about it soon. Glad to hear feedback, thanks guys!

Under normal conditions yes the kit fixes this problem. As long as you don't have a problem with your track and it is the motor then the kit will fix it. When it stops can you wait a minute or so and then it will roll up some more?
yes if i leave it for a min the it will roll up

Then the kit should remedy your problem. A new motor should not have this problem that quick usually. I would be confident in telling you the kit will fix this though.

You don't need one for the drivers side. The passenger side kit will speed up the drivers side and save the motor.

I just finished mine up and the hype is true! It goes up much fast now even with the car off!! I recommend this kit to anyone with a slow passenger window. Great idea, great kit, and great price!

I gave this a shot today with one bum hand and I have a problem. Relay 1 clicks when I press the up button, and relay 2 clicks when I press the down button, but the window doesn't move (currently down). Now, due to problems loosening the ground & positive posts for the eyelets, I have the eyelets hung on the posts without being tightened down just to test. I figure that if the relays are clicking though, the eyelets must be making contact...?

I already compared the drawing, and things are wired per the diagram. I had some issues crimping with my hand, so a pair of the connections are twist-tied and wrapped with electrical tape. Should I break out the multimeter?

No we do not sell that, sorry.
Tired of rolling up the window?

Go hang out at a mall... Small children are always getting lost there, you can ****** one, ziptie him to the passenger door and make him do it

A well trained monkey might work as well

There's already quite a few universal kits out there. They have a remote mount motor and move cables that turn a gear that slips over the stock window crank. Then they have a cover that hides the crank and gear that sticks slightly out of the door. Check ebay or google for them. It's not that expensive either.

The average consensus for install time is about 1 to 2 hours.

Question for Autotrix:

What do you think causes the motors to go out in the first place?

Last time I changed one I noticed that the plastic insert for the wires was not sealed into the metal housing so I was thinking water would get into the motor area and maybe over time it would weaken the electrical components. Maybe even cause a short.

The brushes in the motor wear out, resistance increases due to this, next comes heat, then more resistance, and finally the circuit breaker blows!

Having dirty tracks, and an under powered motor only adds to this effect.
