You may find that spending some time cleaning the window 
mechanisms/gears and relubricating them will improve the situation 
tremendously.

I paid $80 to rebuild a window motor to my 60 T-bird. I'm in the San 
Diego area. The parts houses charge up to $200 for a rebuild motor with 
no core.This must be the going rate. The window motors on my 64 
Imperial are very slow moving. The are even slower in the summer time 
when the temperature is in the 90's. Some times they even stop working 
altogether. Do my motors need to be rebuilt? It would be nice to have 
them move much faster. Help!

My jaw just hit the floor when my local auto electric guy phoned to say 
he wants $85 to put new bushings and brushes in my 63 window motor.  I 
can't believe any of us would get anywhere near that for a spare one 
from a parts car.  Or am I completely naive?  This one is out of my 
back door; my front one has yet to even be extracted but is stuck 
fast.  A spare came with my car, but it is stuck and also is a bit 
shorter than what I took out of my back door.  I do not want to throw a 
second $85 at that one till I hear back from the group.  Thank you.
