Re: Power window motor replacement????

Yes.

Run a long piece of tape from one side of the window up over the top to the other side - actually, I used 2 strips. If you don't, it'll fall into the door and quite possibly shatter...and that's a mess you don't need to deal with.

I don't know about the '00s, but the rivets on the door of my '93 were so beefy and hard, it was quicker and easier to take the die grinder to them. The ones holding the window motor to the regulator were lighter and drilled out in a second or two.

Oh, that reminds me: use a C-clamp to hold the spring in place before you drill out the rivets holding the motor to the regulator. It's very important...
