Reply to "Question regarding using 3 bolt window motors for the "ONE WAY" window motor conversion"

All I did was remove 4 screws that secured the motor backing plate. Got an index card and made a template. Got some 16 gauge flat stock. Cut the template out, drilled the holes and assembled it.  I lubed the runners and now they work like magic.

* The trick to getting the regulator assembly in and out of the door is to have the window in the down position but not all the way completely down. Stop the motor just when the arm is 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the stopper. It pretty much just slips in them.

* Another trick is not to screw the two nut into the glass tightly at first. Let the window window go up and down so the motion sets the glass position for you and then tighten the nuts up.

I think working on window regulators is the most frustrating actively you came possibly undertake in life. So if I can help anyone make this less a burdensome process than needs be, I can say I have fulfilled my life's destiny.
