Re: Window motors

Personally I don't see the point...having owned both (and replaced motors in both), one is not noticeably faster or more reliable than the other. They're both slow and need to be replaced every 5 years or so. All I can recommend is only buying ones that carry a lifetime warranty since you'll be doing them again if you keep the car long enough.

Re: Window motors

I've heard of people wiring the motors to a more direct power source, which would make them faster. See the tech article here http://www.ls1engines.com/how-to-fix...r-side-window/
