Exclamation Window Motor SWAP

my passenger window motor is on its way out and i just picked up a whole setup from a passenger door from a guy for cheap...

anybody know where i can take my car and the working motor to get installed?

If it were a perfect world i could meet up with some other z owners at someones house and have a (i would buy)BEER/install party....

any suggestions are appreciated...

mmmm don't know of any of the guys around here that would get that involved on the car.

I'd do it, but I've got tooooo many cars apart in my driveway as it is right now. Sorry 'bout that.

Thats the same link I used when I cleaned out my driver side motor. Took me about 2hrs to do it leisurely. and speaking of which, i think it's time for me to do it again..........window is acting up again.......

OP - if you can wait, we can do it together next weekend. I live in Pearland. Let me know.

Too bad you're not closer - this is a 30 minute job as I've done it many times.
