need to lower vert quarter window...

[projectPONY]

...is there a way to do this manually? the motor seems to be out.

Not that I'm aware of, but they're pretty easy to get to. Also, don't buy new/used motors. 90% of the time, a cheap $15 "rebuild" kit (consisting of 3 plastic bushings) will cure them.

well, I just took motor off and tested it. it's shot. I took a small prybar to the sprocket looking thing and I was able to lower the window. I was trying to get to the last little PITA nut that holds the hockey stick on.

Your gonna think i'm crazy but there is a cheaper permanent fix for those cheap ass plastic bushings. Take it apart, clean all broken pieces out and put 3 steel ball bearings in there(where the bushings go). Pack it with grease and put the cover on. I swear it works, done it dozens of times.

that's good info to know. will this work on all Stang window motors?

I'm sure that would work great. I was told that the reason they used the plastic was so that if something needed to "give", it would be those and not the gear on the motor.

I know it will on front window motors.
