Default Where to buy window motor ?

Look like my I need passenger widow motor. I called Nissan West Covina and it is $160. Is the replacement one is the same quality as the one in our car ? Is it that easily wear out like OEM one?

Or should I go buy a rebuild one at

http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...ek+Google+Base

It is $100.

go to autozone and get one...i think its $160 but its a $40 core charge, so bring back your broken motor and you only end up paying $120 and it comes with a LIFETIME warranty.

DONT GO TO AUTOZONE!!!!!!... think about it they give you a lifetime warranty for a reason....

i bought an OEM motor bc ive read to many stories of "replaced my motor under warranty X amount of times already" .... just buy a oem motor op... less headaches in the end..

I wouldn't go to Autozone. My driver side motor went out a couple of months ago. I went to Kragen's which I believe sells the same exact rebuilt unit, and they handed me this piece of crap with soldered on wires dangling over the side. It looked like a rebuild job done by some kid with a soldering iron who didn't exactly know what he was doing. There's no way I was gonna put that junk in my car.

I went back to the dealer and got the OEM for about $200 and put it in myself. It took me about 2-3 hours. There are two detailed how-to guides on this forum including this one:

https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance...dow-motor.html

Just make sure you ask for the correct part#. Left and right are not the same and not interchangeable. First time I specifically asked for drive side and the guy at the parts counter says "you mean the right side, right?". I said "I don't know, I guess, whichever the driver side is". Well, he gave me the wrong one, so I had to go back and exchange it.
