today...my rear pax side windows motor 'broke'....
this is the second time that i've had a window motor go out on me..the first one was the drivers. that i could understand as its used the most, but this one probably went up and down a dozen times in 15 years.
perhaps thats actually why it broke. the dealer told me that they made these motors and lift mechanisms with quite light metal...hence the breakage is a common issue. thats true even for some of the newer models.
anyway. new unit is too expensive, so have sourced a used unit...for about $120.
lets hope it works when it goes in tomorrow.
