my power windows on my 90 Z are really slow at going up and down. So what my question is is can u buy brand new motors from GM or anywhere else to replece the old ones and how much do they run. OR......... is it better to get off a junkyard car????? the only thing im worried about from a junkyard car is having the same prob. :-?

I would buy them new. The hard part is installing the motors, it would suck to install junkyard ones just to find out that they dont work.

A little tip to help the window motors to last longer, is to oil the widow tracks a couple of times a year. It helps the motors to work less. Get yourself a siringe put in some motor oil, pop the door panel off and get it in there the best you can.
