I did not remove the gear box. Thats what I'm trying to get the motor to seat into.

Hello
I believe you're talking about my post. I found that getting the motors back together took a little working, moving things around.
I got better after my second one. However, I take most every thing apart that I find that doesn't work. My average of back together is increasing.
Back to the motor. What makes this hard is the fact that there is very little room to work and everything has a sharp edge! Getting the worm gear meashed with the other gear and getting the shaft aligned with the bushing in the housing without loosing the brush placement....
I believe I used a clamp with blocks of wood to hold the window up.
This is just one of those things that I just keeped working at until it slipped back together.
By the way....both of my windows quit within a week of each other. Both are still working today.
Please post back if you have more questions.
Regards
Dan
