Default replacing window motor

My drivers electric window motor has packed in. The window is in the up position.

Is it just a case of drilling out the rivets and replacing the motor? Or is it a little more difficult?

Regards

Steve

the rivets hold the mechanism onto the door, the motor is attached by 2 bolts to the mech, so to change the motor, the mech needs to be removed

hope this helps

cheers Matthew

As said above, it's a easy if fiddly cramped job, use some tape to hold the window up and detach the mech from the rails off the bottom of the window, these just prise off.
