window motor

ive read that some of you have had window motor problems what did you guys have to pay it fixed? mine is on the verge of death and the cheapest quote i got was 500 so far seems very very steep to me

Get one with a lifetime warranty from your local parts store and do it yourself. $500 is crazy. There are several online guides with pics on how to replace it.

That sounds like a lot....... I have had to replace both of mine. You can get the replacement motors for a lot cheaper then that and you should be able to do it yourself. I am real bad at fixing things and even I did it. Do not pay anywhere near $500

x2 i replaced my driver side door...it was a pain in the ass without a inspector mirror..hardest thing was threading those nuts on the back of that tiny ass screws

You can do it yourself for $50 or less. I'm sure there is a sticky on it somewhere. Just search for it.

I spent $50 on it, did it myself. took an hour and a half but worth it

If the window motor is out, try Hawksthirdgen.com

If the motor works but, just slow, try autotrix.net They have a slow window fix kit.

Hope this helps.

my window wouldn't close all the way and i used the auto trix window fix kit. it helped and now window works fine.

I replaced the window motor myself and its pretty easy. I bought one from auto zone and it works well. Its been a few years since i put it in and its still going strong. They cost around $60. Here is the web site I used to help me install the motor. Your getting bent over if you pay $500 for a window motor replacement..

I got 2 lifetime warranty motors from autozone about $60.00 apiece and the local autoglass company charged me $45.00 a window to install them. What a rip off artist!

thanks for all the help $500 was from local ponitac dealer but called a local shop he was the same .yea i can install it , but they both said motor cost was most of the $500 thats why i asked
