What Window motors to get
So long story short a few hours ago I rolled my passenger side window down. Well I showed up at the car wash and realized it wouldn't go back up. I shut the door decently hard and that finally did the trick. Now I'm afraid to roll that window down till I order new motors. Well I've looked at rockauto and am wondering which one you guys all suggest? There's 6 different motors listed and I don't know if there's an differences. I've done some research and can only find that people suggest rockauto. Can't find which ones they suggest from them though. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If I recall, their nicer ones (not cheaper ones) have a lifetime warranty.

It could be multiple simple problems. It might actually be the motor going bad, or it can just be a ground problem in the wiring, which is why it starts to work when you shut the door really hard. Or you could have the same problem like mine and that would be the rubber stripping that guides the window up could be rotting and it prevents it from going up sometimes

Re: What Window motors to get
Thanks for the tips. My dad and I are about to rewire them and put relays in. If that helps ill just run the motor till it goes bad but if not I guess I'll have to get a new one. I don't even mess with that window now because I'm afraid it will go down and be stuck down. I was just curious if certain brands were better then others or if it was just warranty stuff.
