Hi

I need help with information how to best take the rear electric window motor out from a Oldsmobile 98 Convertible 1967. Grateful for any help.

Hi lars, welcome to the site. I saw your question yesterday but held back from replying because I don't want to monopolize all the posts. But I hate for anyone's questions to go unanswered, especially new people. I really don't have a specific answer for you. My initial guess would be if you can get the back door interior panel off it would give you an idea of the mechanics of the whole thing. I am sorry for the feeble attempt but nobody should go without even a "how do you do".

 

Thank you for the answer and the welcome, Oldsguy. I appreciate the try.

Well, the sides of the interior is off, and i don´t get any smarter. It is four bolts that seems to hold everything, but what happen´s if i loose everything? Those things can be tricky to get in place again when they are out if that is not the correct way to do it.

So, if anyone else know´s anything, please let me know. And thank´s again Oldsguy.

How about if you use some really strong tape to hold the glass in place and slowly loosen some of the bolts, if the glass starts to drop you know to not loosen those bolts, maybe...?

 

Yes, that could be a possibility.

Anyone who know´s if there are any "do it yourself books" that i can download on the net, or something like that?

 

does any company reproduce the window switches and seat switches.some of the wires have snapped off of the spades.I don't see any way of getting the switch apart.would it be easier to do homemade reconnections.wires themselves look ok.any help?

 

Bill start a new post with year and model. Maybe one of the Mods can move this post. There is a sticky post in the electrical forum that has good info on the switches.

 

The 1967 Fisher Body Manual should tell you what you want to know .
You can get one on E-Bay here;

Leave the motor attached to the regulator. Support the glass at the top of it's travel. Then remove the four bolts that hold the regulator in position, and then wiggle waggle the whole assembly out the access hole. I think the regulator should be in the 'up' position to make it easier to remove. After it is out of the car, clamp the regulator or drill a hole for a 1/4" bolt to hold the regulator from collapsing from the spring tension and then remove the motor. On a full size car there might be a roller rail attached to the inner panel to guide the glass, two bolts.

 

Guys, the rear window post is from 2006. I make the mistake of answering an old post too.

 

I'm still waiting for a positive result.
