I had to change the Driver's side window motor yesterday. Passenger side went a few months ago. I bought the car with 13000 miles, just passed 31K. Imagine my surprise when I pulled the door panel, and saw the holes already drilled in the door to get to the rivets.That means the original motor lasted no more than 13000 miles, and the replacement (with a GM part number on it) didn't last very long either. I have an extended warranty, but didn't want anybody touching my car for something I can fix, especially to replace it with another P.O.S factory motor. I went with the Dorman Lifetime warranty motor from Autozone.

The kit works great too, just installed it after having it sitting around for two years. Wish I i would have done it sooner.

I just replaced both of mine in my 94 Z this past week. Driver's side was replaced by the dealer some time ago and they did it the right way. I on the other hand drilled the holes and had these damn things changed in 10 minutes
And yes the driver side and passenger side are the same motors

OK let me get this str8 if I get the kit I don't have to replace my window motors?
my passenger side is running slow
and I might have to replcae the driver side since it's not working..
But once I install the kit will the window run with decent power to actually run up smoothly .

If the passenger window motor is not too far gone installing the kit will "wake" it up and you will be fine for a long time to come.
Yeah you probably will have to replace the driverside since its not working.
Yes the kit will assure proper power to both windows at all times and should keep them going good.
Also while you have to door panel off it is a good idea to grease the tracks with lithium grease so the window slides smooth.
