rear window motor

I replaced my rear window motor with one from a celica, I also got ones from supras and corollas (3 for a tenner at the local breakers yard). The plugs wern't the same but I just cut the plug off the duff one and crimped on inline connectors ahd swapped them over. Even if you have to get some one to do this 4 you it's massivly cheapr than paying for a new one or even a second hand one on flea bay!!
hope this helps.

Guys,
Is there a step-by-step out there on the net, on how to remove and replace the rear window motor?

Also, exactly WHICH year of the CELICA, SUPRA or COROLLA Passenger window motors can be used?

I read somewhere that the SURF's drivers side window motor can be used too - does this mean that thew drivers side (O/S) motors of the CELICA, SUPRA or COROLLA can be used too??

trust me, if you take your tailgate to bits. You'll see that its real straight forward and everyingthings easy to get to. Or is that just me?

It's just you. The motor is fairly straight forward to remove ONCE you realise
how it's fixed. It's just a tad phaffy with the limited working space as to which
type of spanners you can use.

I kid you not, I have lost ALL mechanical skills, for some weird reason. I used to rebuild bikes and sell em etc, about 10 years ago, but now I just cannot see it! I need a step by step.

I have taken the rear cover off and done the greasing and the wirebrushing etc, and I though you only need to remove the bolts on the panel to remove the motor?? How the heck do you remove the glass from the carrier?

Could I refer you guys back to the second part of the Q re the parts interchangeability between Toyota models as well - any info will help

Warmest Regards
