hey guys. Just wondering how hard it is to change a driver side 1996 grand am window motor. I've never replaced a window motor.

My g/fs window got stuck, but later went up, so it might need to be replaced. If the window gets stuck, is there a way to keep it up? I know GM in the 90's especially have had problems with their window motors, including some early gen 2000's..

The 92-98 Grand am is totally different than the 99-05....

There is a counterbalance spring to be careful with...motor is riveted to regulator...can be bolted it a blind head bolt is used...
