Reply to "Taurus Window Motors?"

Finally had time to do mine, the first took close to 5 hours (lots of breaks to re-read the instructions, decide if I really wanted to go ahead with the non-reversible mod, try aimlessly to remove the motor/regulator without first removing the window glide thingy, keep the kids from bickering, figure out which tool to use to trim the mounting studs on the regulator (busted a bunch of cut-off blades for the Dremel, couldn't get the right angle with the hack saw ... finally found the flush cut saw with a metal cutting blade was the cat's meow - only needed a little bit of grinding with the Dremel to get it perfectly flush), and running to the store to get 1.5" 1/4x20 bolts)).

The second window was done in about an hour and a half (1/2 hour to get the motor/regulator out, 15 minutes to cut the studs, grind them flush, cut the regulator for the new motor (recip saw cut it like butter), and a shot of rust-proofing paint, 20 minutes for lunch, 1/2 hour to re-install everything, button it up and test it).

Special thanks to my western compatriot who supplied the motors - molti grazie!
