^ I believe Precision Z has them.


Does anyone here have a hookup on the window motors? After taking the door apart yesterday and cleaning the entire motor (it was DISGUSTING), it is still not working. Can any of the dealership peeps hook me up by any chance?

^Did you clean all the carbon build up on the piece that comes out and spins. It has copper wires on it and is copper all around. the carbon gets build up so bad on there i usually hit it with electrical cleaner and use a grey scotchbrite pad to get the carbon off

Yep, I cleaned everything. It is completely dead. When I push the button I can hear the relay sending the signal, but the motor is pretty much completely dead. The window will not move at all.

Yup he sure did. It looked pretty much brand new when we put it back together.

Yea I have done two before and had good luck with both. The commutator had a lot of built up grime on it. It didn't look like dirt either. I think from him trying to use it several times with it gummed up it has fried it.

Oh well thankfully they are cheap to replace.

In for the best place to buy window motors from as well. I've cleaned my driver side several times, and its just not working anymore. Time for a new one.

A set of 3-piece forged wheels that I got a real good deal on.

Edafe took too long to get back to me on a price of DPE's. Tony was kind enough to point me in the direction of someone who he's been talking to about getting wheels from, just in case his Venaci wheels didn't come in.
