Re:GTV6 Window Motor

["Frank P. Filice" <ffilice@domain.elided>]

Aaron,
On my 81, the passenger side motor seized.  I took the door apart and took
out the motor/winder assy..  The shaft was rusted and pitted but everything
else was OK.  Took it apart (2 or 3 long bolts) and cleaned and lubed
everything.  Re-assemble and it works great!  The biggest pain is
rethreading the winder cable - hint wind up the cable on the drum then put
some masking tape on it to hold it in place while you thread the cable the
cable around the pulley and clamps.
Good Luck
Frank
