You can usually find them on ebay for $25-$35 each with a lifetime warranty.

A parts house is probably your best bet.
From what I remember, there have been at least 3 different revisions of the window motor, and the latest is pretty decent.

thanks everyone =D
it's incredibly hot in my car and my ds window doesn't work at all... the ps works a little, but it's wearing out... and the air conditioner takes 20 mins just to get it a little cooler but still hot...
but just a quick question... do i need the regulator also?

I have now installed 4 new window motors I got for about $25 a piece off of a company on ebay (1 in my old Formula, 2 in my new Formula, and 1 in my Z). They work great, and are a lot cheeper than the GM ones. The cheep motors come with the same warranty the GM ones do.
It was a royal PITA to install though, but after getting quoted $295 a piece at the dealer, I decided to do them all my self. After 4 installs now, I believe I have it down to a science.
If anyone needs them installed, I will only charge $50 a window ($90 if you want both done). I'll try to find the company I got mine from if anyone is interested.

It's an open ended offer. I would prefer to work on them at my house so I don't have to drag all of my tools everywhere. Once you've done it a few times, its not so God awful, but it still can be a pain.

I am in Wrightstown (Central Jersey). Specifically at McGuire AFB. Like I said, the offer is open to the public (any 4th gen F-body in specific).

Well just let me know. The sooner in advance the better, as my schedule tends to fill up quickly. Just one window motor should only take a few hours, if you need both done, I should be able to do it in an afternoon or morning.

drachen, unless your guy is a really good friend of the family doing as a side job and not at a shop, he wont beat call911s offer.
that 90 bucks is less than what most shops charge for an hours work (which wont finish either window in one hour)
