Check the usual suspects: Autozone, O'Reilly, etc. Rock Auto also has them. Have no clue which is best, but Dorman seems to be the brand they all carry.

You can get them fairly cheap off ebay. From my experience though they don't last very long. They claim lifetime warranty but I haven't tryed to hold it to them, I should.

I just got cheap ones from Advance Auto. I went through 3 or 4 total for both sides over 2 years. I replaced bad ones under warrenty and the last one I got the woman gave me hell for pulling some kind of scam and telling me there was something else wrong. I said you can think what you want, but just give me this one and we'll never have this issue again when I sell the car next week . Maybe there was something else wrong, but no one there seemed to understand a lot or all of it was just a design issue. Even a kid there with an LT1 Z28 thought it was strange

When I bought mine last I picked up them on ebay for around $35 each. Motors only.

I don't think anyone is talking about replacing regulators, just motors.

Personally I wouldn't bother taking everything apart to use a used motor that may fail the next week, but it appears you got lucky.

Where to buy window motor/regulator?

A slash normally indicates the word "and". As in window motor and regulators.

right the OP said regulator and i know what a slash means, but obviously he has not replaced the regulator because he is asking. what I meant was I didn't think any of the responses indicated they were talking about the regulator, but about the motors. at least that is how I interpret the responses in the thread. I personally never replaced a regulator...just motors.

Don't remove the regulator unless you have to. If you do make sure you have some bandaids handy.
