Hi all, my pass side rear quarter window no longer works. Motor works but the window won’t go up and down I’m sure everyone with a fox body has had to replace them. I have an ‘89 LX conver. I’m gonna replace the drivers side too since that side is starting to act up. What is the exact part I’ll need? I was on LMRs site and it looks like I’ll need this. Just want to make sure before I buy. Thanks !

Technically that's more than you need if all you need is the motors. Looks like it includes the window guide hardware too. I replaced both my rears and passenger door in my '89 LX vert. The process is dead simple, just pull out the back seat cushion, pop off the interior panels and it's right there, disconnect the connector and remove 3 bolts. I did not replace the guides... but they both work flawlessly now.

ok thanks. I’d rather not mess with it. Something else always ends up breaking. It might be more than I need but you never know what else might need replacing one you open it up

Yeah, always a good idea, never know when something's about to poo the bed either. Also forgot when you get the motors off you have to take off the mounting plates and transfer them over... it's pretty self evident though.

I would pull the window motor and replace the pucs under the gear drive, simple, cheap and you don't have to worry about those cheap chinese replacement motors failing
