Badger Charles into ordering one and get a full report.
Thanks for the links. Had to hit the button several times. Looks like $90 from O'Reilly. Direct from Dorman online is between 45 and 60.
I guess I could order online or go junkin'. I bolted up the slide to hold the window up with a device that is a clamp, tightened with a pair of 3/8" Allen head bolts. Nice!
Just for future reference, the motor on this device would be perfect for winding in and out, an antenna. Either to pull a whip over/down for clearance in a mobile environment or to wind in a wire on a mast or tree. The possibilities are endless.
When you are putting the new one on in be careful. Us plenty of tape to hold the window up. If the tape slips ,the window will come down like a guillotine and make you feel badly. Been there , done that.

Neither did I until about a month ago...got a new project (95 Explorer), and was looking for window motors. Just happened across them in the search.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I'll have to check into O'Reilly but the website isn't cooperating. It's gets to where it asks left, right or all and I click left and go and it does it all over again without showing product.
About getting one for another, less used door. looks like that is what someone already tried to do. It is a complete unit. You can't change just a dead motor of a broken part. The cables, slide and motor are will no longer function correctly if you try to take any of it apart unless you have the factory tool/machines to make it so. It looks like they used a passenger door unit and flipped the tracks. This put stress on the cable guides. God I hate stupid, cheap ass, arrogant people who think cutting corners is smart because they saved a nickel. Now if they simply didn't have any other choice in a situation then that's different. In this case it will work for a while but the the cables to the slider and motor must be kept straight not curved 180°.

See the "I" style? With the cables and motor it kind of resembles a "Y". Not the "X" or scissor style. That's what I'm dealing with. Imagine flipping the slider around to bolt into the opposite door. See why it's a bad idea?
It took me a couple of tries but I got in by selecting "Show All." See if this link works for you:

Yes. That was a dumb move on somebody's part. Luckily the motor can be removed easily on the Integra regulator. Quite the Rube Goldberg contraptions. ain't they?
