It's cool man, I can swing it I was gonna do it myself but I was a bit uneasy about drilling through the door panel. Good news is that it does come with a 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty so if that sucker goes even a half second slower than it is now I'm taking it back for a new one.

Autozone motors are lifetime and are like, what 38-45 bucks?
Took less than an hour here...
Drilling through the door was pretty easy, heck there are pictures of where to drill all over.

As soon as I get a little extra money, I think I'm gonna have to hire you to do mine... It's barely worked for like a year now, but it always seems like I have other things to do with my money... It drives me crazy, takes like 3 minutes to get it to go up.
