Well, I took the old 2000 OBW to the dealers to have them check my driver-side power window problem. It slides down easily enough, but when it comes time to go up, you have to hold the button down long and hard, before it starts to go up. The dealer's solution is that the window motor is shot, and they can generously replace it for me, for a $350 parts + labour extra. I was thinking of maybe just going to a junkyard and get a used motor for it instead. What other Subies would be compatible to mine? Would Impreza motors work on mine? What model years would be compatible?
Also the fact that only the upward movement is affected, and not the downward, wouldn't that indicate something that could be reparable on the existing motor? Like a bad solder connection or something?
