Did it make any noises before it finally went? About a year ago mine started making a thunk noise when coming down from fully closed.

Its so boring in here that I needed to make the title sound scary!


Window was fine for almost 20 years, but just yesterday a few quick up and downs with the window and it was making a noise like the cable was shredding in the cable casing. I gave it one more push down, and it didn't come back up.

The motor was working but the cable seized up.

I didn't know this before, but the 95 motor mounting points are different than the SVT. 2 holes line up but the 3rd doesn't and you need to kind of rig the old mounting plate with the newer style motor.
