oreobook Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Help! I am trying to find a set of rear window motors for an 83 Riviera convertible. These have a paper tag marked "Ferro Manufacturing of Pikeville TN . I either need a new set or the name of someone who can rebuild these.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I had one of the rear window motors on my '84 rebuilt by a local auto electrical firm. Look in your yellow pages for a starter/alternator rebuilder. I think the rebuild cost me about $60.00.Getting the motor out is a real trick. I had a professional do that part for me; he used a lot of extensions on a rachet, all of which were taped together with masking tape. Something falls off in that narrow space and it's gone for a loooooooong time.There's a firm in FL that will sell you motors on an exchange basis. They're basically rebuilding cores and selling them for about five times what you can have one rebuilt yourself.Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
