If People Only Knew How Easy This Was! / FOXBODY Window Motor Replacement 

Brew2L thanks for all your inspiration, I'm 70;and just purchased my pristine 93 lx hatch it's been restored and is basically stock Twilight blue 5spd 3 .55 gears

Have you ever repaired a window motor? The motors have plastic balls in the head that break apart. You can put metal ball bearings or metal dowels that fit in place of the three plastic balls. I have done this many times. I love your channel, I live over in Jackson County not far from Marianna, FL right down the road from you.

Good video Brother! You truly have a wealth of knowledge regarding Foxbody Mustangs. thank you so much for sharing with our community! I really appreciate you Bro!

Rebuilt both of my power window motors, super easy and saves some coin. Works great, just replaced grease & rollers. You can get the parts to rebuild. Cost me under 20 bucks and still factory parts. The plastic rollers get chewed up and break into little pieces.

Thanks for the window motor tutorial, it really was simple! I did discover that it was missing the door lock actuators tho! 🦊

I love when you use the OG intro. It's 🔥

Nice to see this. I had thought about taking the power window stuff out of my parts car to put in my coupe but I kinda like the fact it has crank windows. My arms are long enough to reach the passenger side with no problem lol

A trick I like to do when using a socket to feed a bolt in place is putting a small piece of paper on the bolt head and then shoving the socket ontop.

i like how you show the ups and downs of hotrodding!

for those that have to tackle this, make sure you have a set of door panel tools to remove the panel. Those cardboard backings weren't the strongest when they were new let alone almost 30 years old at least. Don't grab and pull the panel or use a screwdriver, it'll pull the pin thru the cardboard backing!

You made putting that armrest back on look easy, I always have to fight getting the bolt holes lined up.

Enjoy your channel. Just picked up a 90 lx 5.0 convertible. 90% stock. Your channel is very informative.

Good one Bud, I use to have 3 foxes , never changed out a window motor, not too bad, changed out electric door locks, but the window motor looks easier. Very cool video.

Thanks for all the helpful hints, BREW2L IS THE MAN

Nice quick video! Enjoy watching all of them.

Thank you!

Great Video I remember doing them at the same time as my lock actuators.

Sand as always, great video!!! Thank you for all these!

Nice and easy, great job, and clips made a world of difference 👍

i use a pocket extendable magnet to start those armrest bolts. Works like a dream.

Yes sir, nice and easy, I need to replace the rear driver side glass.

I’m looking on getting a fox body this month. 100k miles 6k. No rust. Unmolested. Man I can’t wait.

I haven't seen a LMR code from you in a while... Do you have one??? Also could you do a door lock actuator replacement video? Thanks for the videos!!

Bro, you made that look so easy! Thanks!🦊

That Og intro hit different 😍

Good stuff. Those are much easier than the square body Dodge trucks. The local paint and body stores tend to carry the panel fasteners.

Thank you for the video. My drivers window does not move as smoothly as it should and I know it’s going to need some attention soon. Probably hasn’t been touched since the factory.

Good Video!!

Hey brew2l. Great how to video. I own a vert. I’ve already done my window motors. I have a question about the carb swap and how to get my factory tach working again. I’ve got my gauges fixed but can’t get the tach going again. I did put a hei distributor in it! Thanks buddy

That's nice I have to do my power door lock lol

nice vid i both mine still working but was always skeerd of the day i had to tackle it..not not so much worrie!~~!

Would you be willing to do a door lock replacement video? Nice video as usual btw

Is tnis the same process for an 86?

Nice!!

I had to change the regulator assembly in my 93Lx the teeth stripped but it has roll up windows and manual locks.

You're door lock didn't go through the hole in the door panel when you put it on and it's driving me insane lol

Great video! On a T-top car, what causes the window to tilt when going up? Is it that square bushing?

A friend of mines Foxbody has a driver side window that doesn't roll up or down,but the window motor makes the audible noise the motor is supposed to make when the gear is spinning.What component could be checked to see if it's something besides the motor?? I was thinking if the bolts had loosened up that retains the motor to the door,could that cause the motor gear to move far enough away from the large curved gear that neither would be engaging or could the large curved gear have come loose instead causing the same symptom?? Thanks

What’s going on man, love the channel, quick question what kind of head gasket should I use for these edelbrock aluminum heads, it’s carbureted aswell don’t know if that matters I’m also going to use a 100 shot of nitrous. It’s a 302 forgot to add that

Dont get any lube into the over run slip clutch. You know, when the glass hits the top or bottom so it wont strip the gears. If you do lune it the window wont work/ too slippery

Seems to be plenty of parts for powered regulators, is there any for the manual regulators? Broken bits in the cranking mechanism. 😟

Mine stopped working yesterday evening, thankfully i have a 2 car carport , it stormed last night

What about a window that is a little “jumpy” on the way down (Fox Body)?

Is this the same on a convertible? I have a plate in front of that whole area.

Hey I have a passenger side window that only works 10% of the time. Works briefly then stops.. I put new switches in, still doesn't work. The switch has power too it.. Any idea what it could be?

How do you determine if you need just a motor or the regulator

hey this is completely off topic of this video but i thought youd know, i have a vortech supercharger on my 1991 5.0. i dont know why but the whole car is just vibrating at idle and it gets worse when i rev it while it park, you know anything about this?

Manual windows in mine. Power convertible top tho🤣

It’s a little easier with the 87 through 93 4eyed fox bodie Doors don’t have a speaker so it’s a little more complicated to get it in I have an 86 mustang I just done it no more than two months ago

👍

Hows your window so fast! Mine always been slow.

What about your vapor barrier?

Love the Channel, I was a winner in FDOC, box13 , have you sent everything out? I know you got a lot going on, but I haven't gotten any message back from you and not sure , I am in no hurry, just didn't want to miss your reply.

That's the same motor used on kwikee electric steps on rv's.

Much easier than the sn cars.

Adjustment of the window would have been awesome..but thanks anyway keep up the content

mine are a pain to get the door panel latched over the top of the frame and slide it down sometimes!

Hey, I'm new to the fox body and I want to know what is the website where you buy does parts

I wish lol, try changing window motors on a early to mid 80’s fox that doesn’t have door speakers. Royal pain in the arse lol

Joy's of doing it yourself..just saved yourself hundread bucks or more..I have no idea how much a shop charges I do all my own work.

I'm at the point that if my door panels come off.....There is 0% chance they survive.
