Re: [DML] Dumb question_Window failure

["John Elgersma" <delorean@xxxx>]

I just replaced my driver side window motor assembly and it appeared 
that the first owner epoxyed the braket holding the tube that holds 
the worm gear track in place. If this bracket breaks, the worm gear 
assembly will push itself out of the track and a bunch of noise will 
be heard. It will loop itself into an S-shape and fail to feed into 
the track properly. You can remove the assembly and have it repaired 
with small welding. I had my old one repaired just to see if it was 
possible. The original motor assembly was not the best design so now 
the new ones are much better and probably last a life-time or at 
least until I pass on fourty years from now.
