You can buy a lifetime warranted window motor from Auto Zone for $60-$70 (they are usually in stock). The motor is made by Siemens, a pretty decent electronics company.

Follow these instructions to install:

Being careful, you should be able to complete the job in about 1-1.5 hours.

Or, you can go to the dealer and pay about $300.

ive changed many window motors on my camaros through the year. not a problem at all really. not alot of space tho. but yeah the motor is like they said earlier about $60 the whole motor and regulator is about $180. But like i said three camaros and ive changed both sides on each car. good luck

Haha, that happens alot w/those dam windows. Ive had mine replaced once (driver side) but i have a warranty so that was still covered w/no deductible......Good luck, those windows can be a pain!

luckily i still have a limited warranty on my camaro so i had BOTH power window motors replaced at the chevy dealership. they said that it would have cost me about $970 but I only had to pay the $50 deductable! i dont understand why it would cost almost a grand to replace both window motors....?

Just bought mine this Saturday at Auto Zone. It was $54.99 with a lifetime warranty. Go on to the general help section of this board and there are step by step instructions on how to "do it yourself". Only took my old man a little while to get it done. He said the hardest part was lining it back up. :yup:
