Hey all I am in the process of replacing, well, reinstalling my window motor because it two of the three bolts and backed out and the motor was so loose it had started skip and strip the 3/8" drive. The problem is I cannot get the motor drive to turn in order to align it to the window regulator hole. I tried turning the motor by hand and the regulator with an extension but neither budge. Should I just replace my window regulator or is there a way to align the two? Thanks in advance.

 

Ended up having to take the motor apart to align the drive to the regulator. Cleaned it up inside and after much pain managed to clear the brushes and put it all back together. Boom fixed.

 

For now....

 

What Trav is referring to is the fact that many Z owners have tried cleaning and reassembling window motors, only to have them fail again in short order. Search the forums and you'll find multiple threads about this. Lesson is to fix it right with a new motor and be done with it. Unless you've grown FOND of pulling your door panels off repeatedly...

 

well I was quite fond of being able to drive my car to work today and not have to get another ride. Also like I said my motor never had any issues it had just fallen out of the drive hole in the regulator.
