where can i buy a cheap window motor? help!
i don't know if that's exactly what i need. i'll tell you my problem.
my rear driver's side window is busted. when i opened the door panel, i saw that the white plastic thing that connects the window to the (motor?) is cracked and broken. the motor still goes up and down though. i epoxied it together once before, but cracked again. i'm selling the car so i want to fix it. what do i need to fix this? part #'s? website url's? price?
is this DIY or do i need to go to a mechanic? if it is diy'able...anyone have a writeup?

epoxy it again with the whole tube of epoxy and sell it. 
I think the window regulator is sold as one piece OEM or aftermarket (including motor). You gotta buy the whole thing together. Think I've seen 'em on ebay for $50. Prolly check some low priced dealers as well.
Tho...again...just epoxy the thing again...and be sure to clean all surfaces with alcohol for a good bond. Also remember to build up the epoxy.
I used some permatex plastic weld. Its specifically says "plastic weld" on the package...and it's white. I've heard of others using 3m epoxy. You shouldn't use the regular permatex epoxys (the one for metal, plastic and wood stuff.).
