vert window motors in coupe
 
Alright i searched and re-read the faq, and still didn't find an answer. The Infini uses vert window motors to save weight. My window motors are dieing so I thought, alright lets throw the verts ones in. Then reality caught up and I thoguht, it can't be that easy. So, I'm wondering what must be doen to use vert window motors in a coupe, thanks

Hmmm, sounds like it would work to me. I had to replace my vert. window regulators and it took me a while to find them. Good luck.

yeah, I'm sure its possible but i wanna know how hard, if is is direct swap that would rock

Mmmmm... I don't know if I would want to do that. Vert window lifts are notoriously unreliable. I have been through two sets on the driver's side and they are not the easiest things to find. Just paid $140 for a used one. Whenever I see a vert at the junk yard, the first thing pulled out is the window reg... if it works. I mean how much weight can you save by switching.

How much weight do you expect to save?

Are there any other types of window motors that are stronger? mine are on their way out too... looking for a replacement. Whenever i replace something i wanna upgrade it at the same time. :)


I wouldnt expect you would save much wieght with a vert window motor. i mean how much less wieght could it possibly be?

Are you sure about that? First time I've heard that one. Why would they be any lighter?
