High quality motor and regulator assemblies made by Aisin are available from Cruiser Outfitters @cruiseroutfit I think 3/4 of mine are from them.
Even with all new OEM window runs and motor/regulator assemblies, mine are a little slow in the...
OEM motors are not NLA. You got to get creative folks if you want OEM parts, just because the USA part # is dead doesn’t mean the parts are NLA. There are other markets and updated parts...
These guys sell something that works. Perhaps they won't be as long lasting as OEM, but OEM don't exactly shine either. Search Results - https://cruisercorps.com/pages/search-results-page?q=window%20motors
Aftermarket ones from rock auto and napa. Would definitely do OEM if I could have, but as you said, they've been nla for quite some time.
I slightly misspoke, they did improve the window speed, but VERY SLIGHTLY and in the case of one window...
Agreed here - alignment between rails is critical to not stripping any gears. I run both rails to their stops and then back off the same amount on each side before assembly.
I share that experience with seat gears stripping again and again. What seems to have worked for me is disassembling everything 100%, cleaning, greasing, assembling and verifying alignment of both sides. Then gears hold up well.
I ABSOLUTELY DETEST my power seats... I've replaced the gears 4 times, the first 2 stripped almost immediately... 3rd lasted about a week... last has lasted about 2 years... but I don't move it... if I have to adjust I get out. lol
if I could...
definitely cheaper, but end result may not be the same, I've replaced all of my motors, and it didn't improve anything. defintely not cheap but having slow windows for 10+ years dispite my efforts, and having them twice as fast after a 15 min...
I drove a buddy’s 80 that has power seats a while back and thought it was the dumbest thing ever. Same with my daughter’s 3rd Gen. It takes about two seconds to move the seat in my 80.
I installed the Window rocket Window Rocket 80 series 93-97 LHD - https://powertrain-integration.com/products/window-rocket-80-series-93-97-lhd

It’s worth it. I’d changed the runs, greased and cleaned, siliconed the runs and nothing really improved. Especially slow in winter. I’d hoped a product like this would come out when, years ago, Icon mentioned how they upgraded the electrical to...
Thanks to a member sending me a link to this thread!
The Window Rocket is my product.
I'll start by answering a few questions-
Austin didn't do anything sneaky in his video. He's a stand up dude and calls it like it is. I told him about the...
I just installed mine... took about 15 min... stupid simple. cut the time in half, it's about 80* today and down it took about 3.5 seconds, up it took almost 6. (that was rolling all windows up at once... I did that because that was when I...
If anything ever went wrong with it, just reinstall the original Relay and you're back to slow windows. Seems like an easy 🍌 mod for someone willing to give it a try.
I would make sure the window glass is adjusted to spec before installing the rocket. I think the guy in the video adjusted glass and installed new runs judging by how smoothly that window opened and closed. I’ve had my rear glass pull out of...
