The window motors that Mike and Dave are talking about are the heavy-duty
replacements sold by all the vendors.  It is an Electric Life product, and
they don't sell retail.  They won't let you buy wholesale unless you jump
through a bunch of hoops, and those hoops mean that you need to deal in a
volume much larger than any DeLorean vendor can manage.  My guess is that
the vendors buy these motors from an Electric Life retailer and mark it up
accordingly.  The last I checked is that you could by them from (whatever
it
is that link Dave posted) for $300 a pair.  That is almost half of what
the
vendors charge.  And if you ask nicely, they may give you a 10% discount.

Mike, I saw the one in your passenger door, and you said that you put it
in
the same was as the drivers door done by D1.  To describe it, the pointy
end
of the regulator mounts directly to the grab handle bracket (without one
of
the supplied offset brackets).

Of all of these that I have installed, I couldn't get things to line up
perfectly using any combination of their supplied brackets.  So I made my
own.  This involved cutting off and removing part of the OEM grab handle
bracket which was in the way.  I think it is impossible to get it to work
right with the bracket in the way.  But keep in mind that my method is to
make it move like a knife through butter and not have everything flex and
bend and maybe pop off track like everyone else puts up with.  I have
plenty
of photos of how I did it but just haven't scanned them yet and put them
online.  If anyone asks nicely, I'll make it a priority to get them online
soon.
