I will be replacing the motor but for ha ha's I tried to put it back in and found it does not want to go in. I tried tapping the switch to see if it would seat in but no luck. Tried manually moving the window up and down while trying to seat thewindow but no good either. It came out fairly easy but going back in seems to be a problem
Any suggestions? It goes almost in but is a little over a 1/4" short of fitting totally back in place. Too far for the screws to reach or else I would have tried pulling it into place with them.

As far as I can remember (about 3 months back) I put the armature (spelling??) into the gear box with out the out side housing. I made sure that the gears were meshing and then made sure the shaft got into the bushing in the top/bottom of the gear box. I don't remember how the brushes came into play.......?????? (I worked on a wiper motor too and may be getting them confused) Would it be possible for you to post back and inlighten me on which side the brushes are on?
Try the above...... make sure things are meshed well and the coil helper spring is doing it's job. ie.... making the window lighter.
