Default I Did It!

And all by myself!!

Replaced the drivers side window motor...wasn't all that difficult, took two hours and a trip to Home Depot for some nuts/bolts.

Hardest part was lining up the motor inside the frame because you can't really see behind there.

So proud of myself. I'm not very mechanically inclined,but I manged that!

Dealer wanted $450 plus the parts. Shop that did my mods wanted 3 hours labor and $75/hour plus parts.

Saved myself a good chunk of change!
