77 Power Window issue. Need help
The plate that covers the power window motor is missing. The motor strains and the window jams when using. I do not see a mount hole on the motor which would mount to the missing panel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The plate that covers the hole is just an inspection cover, nothing mounts to it. You could have a couple problems, or a combination of problems. The motor could be tired, the regulator may have some broken or missing teeth (very common problem) and the various nylon rollers on the door glass or on the regulator may be worn causing them to bind.

Bob99..you'll notice on the motor is a rubber pad..this is there to limit the movement of the motor...this was a cheap alternative to a mount attached to the motor.
Find some motor mounts,drill a hole in the cover plate and get the motor secured and the windows will work better.
