Angry Newbie Needs Help

Hey there, I just bought my first 350z and love it. These things are quick with great response time. I never had a car hug the road the way this one does. I have an '04 base model with a 6 speed, grey/silver color, 18" alloys (that im thinking about powder coating black). Anyway my driver window has gotten stuck down (great way to start our relationship) and I want to replace the WINDOW MOTOR ONLY. Where can I get it cheap and fast... I live in the bay and Im freezing. Im about to

thanks for the replies. I actually went to the dealership in pure desperation and ended up paying $210 which is 20% off retail price. I got it in and the window goes up but now I have two more problems. 1) when I press the button to allow the newly replaced motor to go up automatically it goes up, but when it reaches the top it comes back down about 20% and then stops there. 2) both windows down crack when the door opens and I almost found out the hard way. Im thinking I need to reset them but am not sure. Called the dealership and the head mechanic played dumb as if he never heard of the problem . Im going to search the forum and if anyone has links I would greatly appreciate that.

As you have found out 350Z window operation can be hell. There are several complete How to replace window motor? threads here include reset procedures.
