Luckily this is car is also a 94 so it would be the same as what you
just did.
The motor did not stop working, it is just slow and tends to stall
going up and down. I thought the track where the tape drive slides
through just needed lubrication, but the motor still gets slow and
stalls sometimes. Then when it sits for a minute, it starts working
again, but only rolls the window up or down part way.
So basically the entire tape drive track needs to be disconnected from
the door?
What is weird is that it looks like the back end of the rivets face
out. These aren't rivet heads with a dimple in them, which is what
I'm used to seeing. About a 1/8" piece of the rivet sticks out. I
guess this is what I have to punch (or hit with the head of a hammer?)
before drilling it out?
It's unfortunate they did not make this a little easier to do.
