So it's raining today and I had my window rolled down in the garage but when I went to roll it up with was DRAGGING! Now I assume that it has to do with the window motor and I found one for about 60 bucks at autozone but on an online site I found motor and tracks for 80 bucks shipped.

Worth replacing the whole system or just buy the motor and save 20 bucks?

The only reason I was looking at this more expensive one was because it is a DORMAN brand which is said to be the BEST...

any opinions on that statement?

The only reason I want the best is because its only 20 bucks more and I assume the labor is going to be a B so I want to do it as minimal amount of times as I can.

Apparently they're like $400 originally:redxdance:

it was pretty simple to take out the old one and install the new one. i think it only took me 30-45 minutes? but that was because i kept dropping nuts :)lawl:) and it was hard to find them on my driveway.

but, its your money so spend it how you want haha

Trust me I am suuuper tight on money and the only reason I am able to make this purchase is bc the hospital is allowing me to make interest free payments.

I didn't know it was that easy...i was always told...if the labor cost more than the part...get the best so you dont have to change it for as long as possible
