The window motor went out on my 01 Monte Carlo. I ordered new motors.. and will be attempting to install them tomorrow. Anyone done this? Is there a diagram or instructions online I can use? I have searched everywhere. I am hoping I only have to replace the motors.. I have read about regulators, switch kits, cables, etc, but don't have a clue.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Your in for a big thrill. Hope you got a GM manual to guide you through it. The motors are typically riveted into the inner door and the 5 or 6 rivets have to be drilled out.
You can google around for instructions that i am sure is posted somewhere on the web.
Good Luck
