    The last image where you see the regulator inside the door body is the original regulator correct? It has a really nice bracket that holds it in place. The A1's come with 2 crappy metal tabs that didn't hold my motor down, the motor assembly would shift when the window hit the to position or bottom position crating tension.
    Here is what the A1's look like below.
    Has any ones else had issues of a shifting motor once installed? Its like the motor is too powerful for the lame bracket system. Obviously A1 created the cheapest solution, not the best one.
    any pointers to get this failed in right?

    If you're lucky, you can be done in 1 hour per side.

    In reality though, you need about 632 hours for the first door, and 20 minutes for the other side.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
