[DeTomaso] power window question

[Charles Engles]

Dear Asa,


       I suspect that you're right.  My passenger window went MIA last year
and I was sure that the plastic gear had broken.  When I took it apart, I
discovered to my surprise that it *already* had a brass gear.   I cleaned up
the schmutz of the old hard desiccated grease and tested the motor and it
ran fine.  I then greased it back up and the window now works better than it
has for the last five years!


                       Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

  Keep the motor and use a good white lithium grease.  The motor is 
probably fine.  It's up to you if you want to replace it.
