I sourced a complete window regulator assembly from a parted out car and just replaced the whole thing, much easier than replacing the motor. I think I still have the old one in the garage, intended to rebuild the old motor but I haven't gotten around to it.
Well Mark, tried out the adapters again today, there is one that works..... so I hooked up the new switch, the new motor, held it in my hand and guess what, the motor works...... All I have to do now is remove the regulator assembly and remove the motor. There was someone who suggested using plastic ties around the regulator when removing the motor, so I will try it. Also ordered a PDL actuator and will replace that also, since the door is all apart. The door window guide looks good as mentioned before, but will check out further and replace if necessary, since I have that part ready to go. This way I may never have to go into that door again in my lifetime.....
