Default A few issues i need help with.

I have a 94 z28

I need new window motors as they overheat and stop about 4 inches from the top. but the main issue is when they are all the way up and the door is shut they dont really seal against the seal around the window. makes a great place for a water leak. anyway to make them sit tight against the seal.

also how hard is it to replace the oil pressure sending unit?

To fix the sealing problem you need to replace the window motor. Once the glass meets resistance on a weak window motor it will stop. The glass needs to push against the weatherstripping to seal. Additionally, if your weatherstripping is bad you may need to simply replace it.

The oil pressure sending unit is located behind the intake manifold on the driver side. You will need a special socket to remove it. If you have an early 1994 model, the pressure sensor will be above the oil filter on the driver side of the block.

Default Oil pressure sensor

It's not too bad. You just need a oil pressure sensor socket.
