Window Motor Interchangeability
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:15:33 AM »
Folks
I don't really have the $$ to replace the front driver & passgr window motors.

The rear ones work perfectly on both sides (less use, I guess) - can they be swapped with the front ones?

The   catalog seems to suggest they can - front/rear right are the same part #

Anyone confirm this?

i do belive that they are the same motors, but idk if it is worth tearing them all apart.

     I believe the rear can be swapped with the fronts.  Then when you have the money you can replace the rear one's.
     It really sucks not being able to roll down the front windows.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

I would suggest you return empty beer cans and cash in some scrap metal. They're only $25 bucks a piece

Yup - thanks to VileZambonie's link to Rock Auto - it does indeed look like they are interchangeable.
Now, if it will just stop raining here in Nova Scotia...
