I fixed my wife's '92 Grand Marquis' rear passenger power window motor this weekend for less than a dime in parts. Instead of getting the ~$30 kit that replaces the gears for the window motor, I decided to try using
3 ea 1/4x20 nuts from the local Home Depot at $.03 each. I'm tired of spending 30 bucks plus when the only thing that breaks are the three little round pieces of plastic that connect the inner and outer gears. They act as a shear pin on a prop, but you can't get just the three plastic cylinders...only the kit which consists of the outer nylon gear and the inner steel gear along with the three cylinders and some grease. I never had to replace the gears anyway...only the plastic cylinders. We'll see what happens, but the price is right! Stan K.- posted
