Passenger's side window lift motor - Sooo Rare

wurtingd · 09-23-2016, 11:47 AM

So, my passenger side window lift motor crapped out the other day; I have verified it's dead and really don't want to clean the brushes out for another month's use. I cannot find a remanufactured (or new) ANYWHERE without spending between $284 - $390 for a new OEM. I've tried many auto parts stores online including Ebay (where I can find only used).

I can fine remanufactured driver's sides all over the place (from $60 - $130) but no where can I find a reasonable priced reman or new passenger's side. I also searched high and low for recalls on this part and there is none I can find.

Anyone else have this experience? Why is the passenger's side rare to extinct?

Thanks all!

BTW - 2012 370Z, MT Base with Sports Package.

I probably wasn't clear... any advice? lol I am very fortunate to have not had one problem with this car since day one and just checking if anyone who may have replaced the passenger side window motor wouldn't mind pointing me in any direction before I blow almost $300 on a new one

Thanks all!

You can look for one in a junkyard. At that point, who's to say how long that used one will last? This is one of those things that you might as well buy new.
