window motor help
#1
![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
i have a 99 camaro. when i roll down the drivers window it stops after rolling about 3 inches. if i wait a minute then try again it will roll another 3-4 inches. the longer i wait the farther down it'll roll...
do I need a new motor for the window or somthing else?

Window motor needs replaced.......$55 plus shipping from Autozone or your local one might have it in stock, free labor if you install it yourself...
See THIS link on the "How To".
Have fun! First one took me 2 hours, after that, smooth sailing. if your panels are already drilled then it won't take you long.

yeah, took me an a buddy about an hour or so, from start to finish on the first time. alot of people say that they had to make sure something held the window in-place so it didnt fall, but....i didnt have that problem? it was the passenger side, so maybe thats why..
either way, its a fun install. bloody fingers, busted knuckles, pissed-off attitude, etc.. all in fun![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
