On my 98 Chev Astro Van, my passenger side power window motor finally died. How do I replace it? What is the procedure-step by step is preferred.
Thanks.
Bob

Remove the trim panel. The original motor is riveted in place. Drill the (3?) rivet heads with a 1/4" drill. Have an assistant hold the window from falling down in the tracks. Unplug the motor and install the new motor. Use 1/4" x 20 x 3/4" stainless steel bolts and stainless steel nylon insert nuts. Reinstall the trim panel. Total time: 45 minutes

Ive found that the nut and bolt kit that comes with the motor to be very teadious during installation so I replaced the nuts and bolts with self tapping screws and thred lock. Havent had any problems with it sence and its been over 4 years. ~Chris

i'm really lazy, i just riveted the new one on too. watch for a rivet set on sale, they come in real handy. i use mine several times a year and they never come loose from vibration.

great tip and another great use for duct tape. you can get the glue residue off the paint and glass with Goof Off a paint and adhesive remover or my favorite, Zippo lighter fluid. but remmeber, the longer you wait the harder it will be to clean up.
