it finally happened...
well i was driving around campus today and it happened. the window motor on the driver side went out. i read on here that they are crap and i was expecting it to stop working but my car only has 25,000 miles on it so i thought i had a little more time... oh well. so i was wondering what motors you guys recomend getting... thanx

I have an ebay motor in the pass side and a new ACI motor from Advance in the drivers... The ebay motor is still working, the one from Advance costs double but it's stronger and has a lifetime warranty.

It's riveted on, unless it's been changed before. New motors come with three small bolts/nuts. Not too hard to change them, I used shoebox's guide at http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html Get a motor from a local parts store with a lifetime warranty - and never pay for one again.

get one from autozone or anywhere local with a lifetime warranty, so when it goes again you can get a new one withotu shipping it. Also, the first time is the hardest, once its removed and bolted instead of rivited, its a 15 min job, check out shoebox's site, best on the net

For window motors, I feel the only real factors are how often you used them, and how long they've been in, not how many miles the car has.
Fortunately, I haven't had to replace either of mine yet, an 02 Z28.

I've had to replace my driver-side window. I wound up checking out sites like: http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...61&catalogid=0
I think my passenger-side window is starting to go. :\
