[DeTomaso] Window Motor

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I would agree with Mike.  The only thing I would add is to use a good 
white lithium grease in the gearset.  On my Pantera, Mike and friends 
helped change the passenger side at a tech session years ago and used 
white lithium grease.  I changed the driver side a while later and used 
a thicker grease.

Don't do that.

My passenger windows zips up and down nicely.  The driver side takes a 
little more umph.

Get three brass gears.  One for each window and one for the headlight motor.
