Okay so I think my 95 SC400 is starting to show her age. BOTH power windows recently went. This past winter they slowly stopped working and now they both need to be fixed

The driver side: goes down fine but doesn't go back up one bit
The passenger side: goes down 3/4 way, slows to a stop, then goes back up slowly.

So...my question is this: Anyone know where to find the cheapest set of power window motors? I do not want used because they could go just as easily w/15+ years on them. Are there any aftermarket motors for it?

Also, I think now may be the best time to replace my front door because of the very sizeable dent in it. The first body shop I took it to a while ago said that they would not be able to knock out/fix the dent because the (collision/safety beam *forget the actual wording) in the door is right in the way of where they would need to push the dent out. Hate to spend ~$600 on a used door if the dent could be fixed! Anyone have experience with successfully fixing a dent in the door rather than just replacing it?

Thanks in advance.

 

A couple thoughts for you:

Make sure that your driver side motor is indeed bad before you replace it. The circuit to roll it up is a different than the circuit to roll it down. You could just have a problem in that circuit.

I thought a lot of body shops were "re-skinning" doors, rather than replacing them anymore.
