    Does anyone know if the front window regulators work on the rear windows as well? I can't for the life of me find the rear regulators and it appears that the OE ones are all discontinued.

    Different part numbers between front and rear so my gut says nope, won't work. This might be a www.car-part.com item. :(

    I figured as much unfortunately. The rear ones are slow as molasses especially in the cold. I'm going to take it all apart and see if I can make it run smoother instead. Thanks.

    My driver side window is doing that, really slow. Sometimes just cuts out completely. I've swapped the control but still the same so guessing its the motor having issues.

    Fortunately, rear are still good. Hopefully you find a solution. :thumbsup:

    It's definitely the motor. I had the issue on the driver side as well where it will stop sometimes. Replaced the motor and it's as fast as new. I got the VDO one from Rockauto years ago when it was like $15. I had to splice in the OE connector but besides that, it has been working perfectly for almost 4 years now. I see some with the OE connector on Rockauto now but no idea the quality of those. If you're planning to do it, make sure to get some extra door clips because many of mine were brittle from old age. Might be a good idea to clean off all the track and lube them up agian. I'll probably try that to see if I can loosen them up a bit. I heard changing to a higher amp alternator and replacing the grounding cables with a thicker gauge helps. Might had to add it to my to do list.
