I believe I've seen a couple threads on that job. Also, in the RAVE, I believe it has a writeup on the job. Both beliefs are from my memory, so take with a grain of salt.

I've torn everything down and it looks like the motor works ok but the gear is ground down? I won't know until I get a T bit tomorrow. Also the large gear seems to be jammed and off the track.

I would replace both parts but I am currently low on cash

And that is where the screw in the track come in until next payday.... or one of those little thumb screw latches for sliding windows (clamps on the track).... or my old standby, duct tape, get a Rover-sized roll...

I've got duct tape holding the window up right now. Would it be smart to just replace both track and motor?

Or do you think I can get away with just the track?

EDIT :

I'm going to buy a used one with a warrenty. At least I'll have a newer motor and track installed. I just can't front the cash for the window now.

Just bought new ball bearings, T-case seals, and enough RTV and oil to redo the front axle.

Plenty of D1's but rarely any D2's . When they do show up people buy the entire vehicle and haul them away.

I have a long list of random things I want to pull off one but alas, I'm never there at the right time.

Big yards around Atlanta have an email service that will text you when vehicle of interest comes on the yard.

So after further investigation I found that the 3 spot welds holding onto the gear came apart. My new assembly comes in tomorrow. Should I add JB weld for additional security?
