Aren't there any aftermarket window motors out there by now ? I had a 94 LT1 that went through three and the kid that bought it off me has changed it 2 times already. I'v heard plenty more about them going out.

Yes. Siemens and Doorman are both aftermarket brands that make window motors for these cars, and they seem to be much better than stock. You can get these through Autozone, it appears that some Autozones have one brand and some have the other.

Guys, I just went to a mom and pop shop like 20 mins ago and they told me $345 all day! Is this right? and thats supposedly for the whole window kit that will get rid of the problem in the future. Time to do some searches
