I just moved here from Texas... any suggestions for reputable, inexpensive places to get my window motor replaced? I have been quoted $400 for parts/labor... is that the norm?

MasterThis is a high performance car that is complex with pretty long doors, so the window motor job is not easy. Also the motor and regulator are pretty stout to be able to lift the large window. $400 does not sound out of line. I also don't see any after market parts for this job, so it seems like it requires a factory part, which is usually more costly.

Visitor, August 15, 2010, 14:51ReplyI have found that the vast majority of the cheap internet replacement parts are bogus. I deal with theses issues all week long in the shop where I work. Customers bring in parts, purchased at really cheap prices on the internet and the parts just don't work, or they fail in very short order, so really be wary of this. It can really be TOO GOOD to be true. And then you can't return the stuff, to it is really hard to do so. I really believe in factory engineered components, so you repair the car once and the repair works correctly and really lasts. Good Luck!

louviere, August 20, 2012, 09:59ReplyRookieYou are exactly right about the banging on the door panel...but...that is not what I want to be doing to my 350Z. Does that mean that the wires are loose or is that a fault in the motor itself?
