This DIY video details the process of replacing the carbon brushes on a power window motor used in many Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, primarily the 350Z and G35.
Why pay $200.00+ for a new OEM window motor when you can rebuild your existing unit for a fraction of the price and a bit of your time. The replacement brushes I used can be purchased here:

Here's a few additional tips I've learned since I made this video:
1) Instead of wheel bearing grease (black grease seen in video) I recommend using Silicone Gear grease. This is what the factory originally used. The wheel bearing grease I used still works great. At the time I didn't have the Silicone Grease.
2) After sanding the copper commutator with 1000 grit sandpaper, I highly recommend coming back with some metal polish. I used Flitz and it worked great. This will help quiet the motor during operation.
3) Until the brushes fully break-in, you will notice the motor may be slightly louder than before. Don't worry, this is normal. Over time and use, the motor should/will quiet down. Extra attention to sanding/filing the brushes can dramatically help with this.
I hope you enjoy the video and good luck with your own DIY project! More videos to come!
