Toyota Repair: replace window motor, nuts and bolts, big hands


Question
Hi, I volunteered to fix a friends 1990 Corolla passenger front door.  The motor quit and I've checked it but it's dead.  I have the replacement motor and was wondering if there's an easy way for a guy with big hands to replace it.

Answer
hi randy.  its not that hard of a job.  get yourself some clear box tape and tape the window in the position so the window mounting tabs can be seen through the holes in the door.  i like clear tape because duct tape leaves a sticking residue behind.  then its all just nuts and bolts.....sometimes you can get the motor to come back to life with a quick hit with a hammer.  its easier to get everything apart when the window still works....
