Can we still get new power window motors for these cars? The reason I'm asking is simple. I have spares of just about every other electrical component in the car. I've never bothered to snag power window motors as I've never really ever seen them laying around as I have any of the other stuff and I've never had need for them. I'd like to grab a set before I actually DO need them and I figure with the age of these cars; this is something I'd rather obtain new if I can....
NOS Ford ones pop up on eBay occasionally but as you can imagine, they are not cheap.
I have bought aftermarket power window motors from eBay, and from parts stores. Have had better luck with parts stores, to be honest. Plus you get a great warranty on a lot of them. Think I got mine from Advance Auto.
Otherwise I don't know of anyplace other than maybe Green Sales that may have Ford ones.
Are there any of good repute on Ebay?
(I hardly ever look there any more, or I wouldn't have asked such an inane question ;) )
EDIT: Eric beat me to it! :bowdown: :rollin:
I got a bad new one from eBay...really I can't recommend buying from there. The reman one from Advance Auto came with a warranty, and if it was bad out of the box, it's as close as my local store for a return. Couldn't say the same for the eBay one.
For mechanical parts that are common to other Fords, to me, it makes more sense to hit the parts store. Unless you're restoring to 100% stock or for show, which is a different story.
$60 at Advance Auto, I had to get one for my silver one, gears inside were shot. They carry a warranty, and the part I got felt just as good in my hand as the old one. Been using it for a year and it still sounds great and works like the good original ones in my red car.
maybe these guys also do window motors,, from my diy link
