[DeTomaso] Window motor replacement recommendations

[Jim Gray]

Mike,

I think some people do as I did and installed the Aerostar motors thinking they 
would cure their verrrry slow windows.  Well, in my case, the passenger window 
does shoot up and down but the drivers side is still a slow PIA.  The real 
problem is the elusive alignment, not the stock system, as some others have 
undoubtedly discovered.

Well said.  I don't have a clue why I have kept that junk that I removed.  As
you say, the chances of anyone wanting to reinstall the stuff are nil.


And I, for one, have always pondered why people go through such enormous efforts 
to change the system anyway?  The plastic gears are the weak link in the system, 
but once the gears have been replaced with brass gears, there's absolutely 
nothing wrong with the way the stock system works (assuming it's set up properly 
with no binding etc.)

Sure, some of the alternative setups are faster.  But do you really need a glass 
guillotine in your door?  If it takes two seconds to raise the window with the 
stock setup, and the modified setup can do it in 1.2 seconds, so what?

I just don't get it...somebody explain it to me?
