Default HighTorque Window Motor???

I'm tired of my windows being frozen shut in the morning, and was wondering if anyone here has heard of any high torque window motors that wont get stuck shut in the winter. Its kinda hard to smoke when it doesnt leave the cab..... And that would be easier than scraping them every day.... Thanks guys!

tearing the motor apart, cleaning it up, and replacing the brushes would help keep it running strong.

All that will do is break the glass. You need to get vent visors and leave them cracked. If it's frozen shut, it's frozen shut. Doesn't matter how strong the motor is.

And not that you dont already know this but you need to quit smoking. Think of all the mods you could do if you quit smoking and put the money to mods.

Oldirtyjohn - How do you replace the brushes? Is this a common thing to do?

lxman - do ya think the in-channel visors or the external ones would be best? I have never owned a set....

And Weed - That is true.... But its just soooooo Tasty!

if you want tasty, go get a can of dip and then you wont have to worry about the windows. all you need is a cup haha. there was someone around here who was able to buy a new car with the money they saved when they quit smoking.
