The window motor went out on my 01 Monte Carlo.  I ordered new motors..
and will be attempting to install them tomorrow.  Anyone done this?  Is
there a diagram or instructions online I can use?  I have searched
everywhere.  I am hoping I only have to replace the motors.. I have
read about regulators, switch kits, cables, etc, but don't have a clue.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Your in for a big thrill. Hope you got a GM manual to guide you through
it. The motors are typically riveted into the inner door and the 5 or 6
rivets have to be drilled out.

You can google around for instructions that i am sure is posted
somewhere on the web.

Good Luck
