Power window motor, Help, which one?

Ok, the power window motors on my 91 Bird are getting week and slow to raise and lower the windows.

What are and where can I get the best replacements so I don't have to do this again a few years down the road?

Thanks for the help, Bill.

Look around for posts. Ideally, you'll want to clean the regulator tracks and then lithium grease them. If you need a motor, they're readily available at any shop, Rock Auto.com or I got mine from 1AAuto (they have employees who are members here).

Re: Power window motor, Help, which one?

part of the problems with the windows is the voltage drop from the battery to the window switches.im going to run a fused 10 guage wire from the battery directly to feed the window switches and see if that helps.
