Window Motor Replacement, could use some help
Hi, I have recently purchased a new window motor for my drivers side window, but am having issues mounting the motor to the regulator and was wondering what others have used to mount it. I purchased rivets but they don't seem to hold and there is no way I'm going to get a nut on the back side of the motor due do the gear on the regulator. I have gone through the forum and noticed a lot of you are recommending to use "post studs" but can't seem to find what size to get. I should mention my car has been upgraded to the later regulator already.
Thanks

When I did both sides of my car, I slipped the rollers off the horizontal track. That left the vertical side free moving. Then I just used a nut and bolt with lock tite.

Ok so when I did this i had to use the lowest profile machine screws I could find and a nut. Regular bolts are too tall and will hit the big sprocket on the regulator. Also I recall only being able to fit 2 bolts on, it works fine. Good luck.
