RE: 79 Corvette Window motor deinstall
Hi folks, I have a 79 which has a bad window motor on the passenger side. I removed the door panel and I can see the motor fine. Am I correct in assuming that the way to get it out is to drill out the rivets?
and put new rivets in?
Thanks in advance

yea, ya have to drill the rivets and take the regulator out and then do the motor. Be careful, there is a spring in the regulator that can snap the thing around and take off a finger, put a bolt in the hole in the regulator to hold it while you remove the motor.
