I just spent a good four hours removing the door panel, speakers, vacuum lines, etc.
from the door and putting in a new power window motor.....Now that I know where
everything goes, I could do it under two hours...so if anyone has a problem with their
power windows not working...I would be happy to assist over email on the diagnosis and
repair procedure.
It is much easier once you are in the door than earlier cars....i.e. the window stays up
and the gears just pop into place...on body styles even into the eighties, a motor
replacement involves propping up the windows with a stick....and the space is very
narrow...
I was surprised how easy it was on the R129...
