I've always been nervous with the quality of ebay parts.. couldn't tell you exactly how those will work. I ended up just buying a pair from the part store. Granted I paid forty a piece for them, but they have lifetime warranties.

I only replaced one on the driver side. However, it has been on the car for close to 3 years. Take into account that I have only put about 3000 miles on it in that time, but my kids like to play in the car when I'm working on it and it has gotten a fair amount of use with them rolling the windows up and down.
One thing I would recommend is take the fasteners that come with the kit and throw them away. Go to a bolt store and get some good made in USA fasteners.

I thought about the Ebay motors when I had to buy both motors for my SS and the wifes vert. I ended up buying motors from Advanced autoparts for alot more. The windows haull *** now! The motors I bought also don't have the current limiters that the stock motors do.

Think on this....YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

He's right.. I have an Advance window motor on the drivers side and one off ebay on the passenger... The Advance motor is much stronger and faster than the ebay one... Plus, the one from Advance has a lifetime warranty.

It was real struggle for me. In one month I had to buy 4 motors. I was looking real hard at the Ebay motors. Several of them advertised a lifetime warrenty. But what would you have to do and how long would it take to get a replacement if you needed one?

Another thumbs up for the Advance motor. I just did my passenger side a few months back. It works great and is just as fast as the factory one. Plus its got the lifetime warranty. My drivers side is about to go soon.
