Power window replacement... Well, looks like the time has finally come where I need to replace the factory window motors. The passenger side works fine, but the drivers side has short spurts where it simple won't work.
I really don't want to replace them with the crappy OEM motors. So are there some really good aftermarket ones that work better and last longer?
Also any good write ups online on how to get the door panels off and how to replace the motors?
Thanks

I did notice when I swapped out my driver side motor that it was louder than the stock motor but I guess that is what you get for the cheaper price. It wasn't that hard to do though. I am going to have to do my passenger side soon.
Another recommendation - be sure to use the shbox method for replacement. This will keep your regulator rivets untouched and your fragile door skin around the rivets tight.

Hey thanks for the replies!! $35 for the advance auto ones doesn't sound bad at all. Heck I was expecting to pay 5x that since nothing it seems is cheap to replace. LOL
I will have to check out the Dorman motors. If they are that much better then heck might as well upgrade to those. I hate to spend a ton of money, but heck if that are THAT much better then a bit more money may lead to being alot happier with them in the long run.
