Yepper, my passenger side bit the dust at 20K. I bought a new one, just been to lazy to put it in yet.

I think Autozone has one that fits our cars and comes with a lifetime warranty. When it breaks again take it back for new one

How where yall able to replace the big rivets used to keep it in place from the factory. I was going to use bolts but their is no way to get your hand back their to tighted them. I have looked every where for a pop rivet that big and cant seem to find one.

You just drill them out, new motor should come with bolts/nuts - you can do it. Here's a couple links that should help:

My drivers side is being replaced today!

My driver's side is now out on my 2000 SS and I'll change it myself soon. About three year's ago, the driver's side went out on my wife's 2000 V6 while still under warranty and the local Chevy dealer replaced it. She's had no problem since. Still, this problem is too common.

It's a known problem. Trouble is, our fbody windows are too big for the size motor they put in...
You can lubricate your channels with Silcone spray lube and it will help a lot with the motor not burning out prematurely... just insert the little red spray tube thingie into each side of your windows while they are down and spray em a couple of time.

Anyone have any price range on the install on new motors. I have 2 new motors in my back seat I need to get put it since I dont feel like dealing with the rivets.
