That was the first major repair I did on my first car. Just make sure you don't accidentally engage the auto-down and cut your arm off like I almost did. And get locking nuts.

Lol....i just got finished putten everything back together..........it works!!! ist time that window has gone down since ive owned the car. I used those clicky twist ties to hold the motor in for now......cause i couldnt find any bolts around the house.....but it actually holds it in nice and solid.......just temporary til i get back from Florida..........i just wanted the window to b able to go down so i can actually smoke in my car on the way down to florida. Drove me NUTTS when i drove it out to illinois in october....cause i had to crack the pass window, and use the ash tray to smoke........not to mension its toll from basically here to chicago....(w/ the xception of I-90 from the NY/Pa line to Clevaland).....so now i dont have to open my damn door any more when i go on the toll roads.
