Drivers window now works.

When I bought the van the drivers side window was questionable.  It was up but didn’t seem to want to go down so I didn’t mess with it until I got it home.  Sure enough the window went down about 3 inches and then wouldn’t move in either direction.  A garbage bag was utilized to keep out the rain.  window bag

Since we are on a tight budget I thought about leaving it like it was but I am not sure it would pass a PA inspection, and I know I didn’t want to listen to a plastic bag flap in my ear for a week.  The good news is a new replacement motor was only $25 delivered.

Parts are so much easier (and cheaper) than last years orphan Rambler.

It took me some time to figure out how to get it replaced,  but I was able to swap it out without removing the window regulator mechanism.

Success!  The drivers window now goes up and down.

Next step is bodywork, and then a trip to the inspection station.
