Hey everyone, I got some info via the search and it seems we can fix the window motors using 3-1/4 inch nuts instead of replacing the gear with the stock plastic pieces, but Im wondering if removing the motor itself is difficult, Ive removed one on a 84 fox body and it was a piece of cake, but are they riveted on sn-95s? Any thing I should be aware of before I remove the panel? Thanks.

I did it a few months back and it took about an hour to do both. Removing and reinstalling the motors were easy.

I'd recommend putting platic bushings back in there - I'd feel horrible if I seel my car and down the road someone (especially a kid) got their arm caught in my window and got hurt. Plus I figured if the bushings I had lasted 10 years surely these new will last a while.

Yeah...You need to put the plastics ones in.. That's one thing that FORD actually did right, for the reason mentioned above....Other than that, it's pretty str8 forward.

If he had written the synopsis, it could have been a "Wyt-up"
