Is there anyone out there that can tell me the steps involved with replacing the power window motor in a 97 Camry?

Ya sure its the motor? Do you hear it run when you activate the buttons? If you hear it run then it is the window regulator. There is a small (irreplaceable separately) plastic part that typically breaks. A new regulate is $90 --- a new motor $250. Either way you have to remove the door panel -- the door opener trim is only tricky part. Got to auto store and get a $10 auto panel remover or you'll break the plastic clips.
I think that its the motor, but am not sure. It still works, but goes up slow sometimes and makes a lot mor noise than the others going up. So someone tell me, is that the motor or the regulator?
Put silicone lube in the window channels first - may just be sticking and soon the motor will blow due to the strain.
