    window lift motor

    I am needing a power window motor for the rear window in my 84 convertible. Does anyone have a source for a new one of repair of my used one. The side I need is the left side in case that makes a difference
    Thanks

    Re: window lift motor

    Hydo-lectric (or something like that) sells them on an exchange basis for a large chunk of change.

    I had a problem with the motor on one of the rear windows in my '84 convertible and found that my local starter and alternator repair shop could fix it. It worked fine.

    Their philosophy: "If it has windings and an armature, it can be fixed." I'd take that to the bank any day. Probably at least worth a shot. If you can't find one locally, send me a PM and I'll give you the name and address of the shop that did mine. (KCMO)

    Re: window lift motor

    IS YOUR PROBLEM THE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS BAD OR MORE COMMON PROBLEM IS THE STRAP IS BROKEN?
    IF IT IS THE STRAP A REPLACEMENT IS AVAILABLE, IT IS A CHRYSLER PART BUT WITH SLIGHT MODIFICATION IT WORKS.
