well i just replaced the power window motors in my friends 1994 firebird and i must say that it sooooo easy.


i have been working on cars my whole life and at first when i looked at these things i thought that i would have to drill out the rivets and mess around with that huge spring, without delay i jumped on here and started looking and after 10 mins here i was able to remove the motors by just making 3 small holes and removing the actual motor itself


this was so easy, once the doors were apart it took me like 15mins to do both doors

i probably would still be out there if i hadn`t look here first.


anyways i just wanted to say thank you guys for this board!!!!!
and if anyone else is gonna do the window motor swap, i used this one
www.shbox.com it had the exact diagrams and pictures.
thanks shoebox for such an awsome site!!!

shoebox is the LT1 authority around here

 

it was easy??? you must have been high
there is nothing easy except the air cleaner and the battery on these cars

 

I just did the same thing today also... Shoebox RULES... I'd rather be stuck in my shop working on a motor rather than fixing my car so I really have to give him some credit here helping get the SS ready for my road trip!

Glad I can help out.

Now, if I can just get finished with that guide for home-grinding your own cam with a file.... (actually, for a custom grind I will probably contact Bret ).

 

lol

That window motors biggest pain in the *** is when you have to put the new screws in... dam is that a bitch!

Either way Advance Auto Parts up here had a new motor in stock for $55 and it's a champ compared to the stock made in mexico crap in the passenger side now. Guess I will have to do that one sooner or later.

BTW I'll probably cut you a discount as a "donation" to your site!

I think it can be done with a Dremel and a ruler.
