Got around to installing one new motor on my right rear quarter. Jury is out on going new. It works (sorta). After hrs of cleaning relubing , adjustment, shimming, vodoo dance etc...I got it to not stick full up or down (there is the sorta thing). If Icontinue to run it up and down it will not stick. With some screwing around with unwinding the spring, the speed if fair both up and down but I was hoping for a little quicker with a new motor. Here's the er. if it sit awhile (an hr, two days or an evening with a quarter moon) it won't move. Ammeter bumps over like full power but nothing. Drive the car and hit light bumps while cycling the switch and it moves. Similar to the old problem but I had to use a long screwdriver and a hammer to relaunch the old motor so ...progress. I have seen several convertibles with pictures of their tops down but wing windows up. Now I know why. Anyone ever try to use a front motor on a wing regulator? It's a little bigger but unsure if there is clearance. Am I a minority with this problem or is this a widespread issue? Getting the feeling that this may be as good as it gets.
