Default Windows... info please.

Hey guys,

What is the best way to pull power window motors out of a 78? Do I need to remove the tracks as well? Is it easy(or necessary) to dismantle the door?

Any info helps!

Thanks,
Cory

You should be able to put 2 rubber tipped clamps on the glass in the up position,remove the 3 bolts holding the motor,wiggle motor out.

This should help. If you need them up you will have to release them from the regulator.
