Impreza window motor layin 'round? (super longshot) - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

JonnydaJibba · 2008-09-23, 09:56 AM

Anybody have an older Impreza window motor hiding somewhere? I bet not one person has one, but I thought I'd check before I hit up the dealership.

Thanks.

ScottyS · 2008-09-23, 10:17 AM

Actually, I might have a window motor from a mid-90's Legacy. Not sure if it's the same or not. Also Pick and Pull is the best place for that kind of thing...

JonnydaJibba · 2008-09-23, 10:31 AM

I thought about wrecking yards, but I don't want to put in an old motor. I'm hoping somebody might have one out already that's not terribly old. Not likely but worth a shot before I drop $200 at Lithia.

For $20, you might be able to pull one from PnP... so even if craps out quickly, it's still worth saving $180.

Good call...

Hells yeah, I had to do that with my old 1990 Legacy back in the day --- the PnP motor lasted the rest of the car's life.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-09-25, 11:05 AM

Anybody know if 02 and up Impreza's window motors are compatible? Airport Auto Wreckers don't have any older Imprezas.

cody · 2008-09-25, 11:43 AM

Call a couple dealer parts dept's if nobody here knows.

They are not compatible, if anyone cares. No luck in my search so far.

100_Percent_Juice · 2008-10-02, 02:58 PM

In what way are they not compatible? Could you get it to work with minor modification?

Dean · 2008-10-02, 08:23 PM

Wonder if the parts car Scotty just got might have one that is compatible?

ScottyS · 2008-10-02, 10:49 PM

Yeah, I was wondering the same.

I think with modification they can. I think the only difference is either size or mounting holes or something. I'm not positive though.

Kevin M · 2008-10-03, 01:07 PM

Unlikely. What I have been told is that the coupe and sedan window slider frames are substantially different. Any post-92 Subaru 4 door window regulator shoudl be transplantable, but coupes are their own animal.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-10-03, 03:06 PM

I don't need the regulator anyway. The window motors for coupes and sedans are the same though. Which is why so many more coupe winder motors go out than sedans.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-10-22, 10:53 AM

Well I got a rebuilt motor of the Bay for $100 bucks. But it's the wrong one. Because a certain parts dept told me that any window motor from a 93 to 01 would work. Well another parts dept told me today that any window motor from a 97 to 01 will work. The motor I have is for a 93-97!!! ARG! So I'm gonna have to see if they want to give me money back even tho I bought the wrong part.

cody · 2008-10-22, 10:54 AM

Sucks.

ScottyS · 2008-10-22, 01:51 PM

Did you call the Rancho Cordova Subaru recyclers? The entire door for my sister's Legacy was only like $200.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-10-27, 09:35 AM

Do they ship?

Kevin M · 2008-10-27, 10:50 AM

Yeah, but it's probably cheaper to just go down there.

JonnydaJibba · 2008-10-27, 12:12 PM

Probably not? It would take most of a tank of gas and 5 or so hours of my time.

ScottyS · 2008-10-27, 10:07 PM

Yeah, and for small parts it is cheap. For a whole door, well, that's different.

JonnydaJibba · 2009-01-14, 09:22 AM

Well if anybody reads this in the future, if you have a coupe you will probably only be able to find this part at the dealer. I have ordered from 3 different sites, and the part doesn't fit even tho I'm told it's the correct part. So I suggest going to the dealer like I'm going to do. Lithia is cheaper than michael hohl.

cody · 2009-01-14, 09:27 AM

Check with my buddy, John: http://www.trademotion.com/splash/in...?siteid=214686

JonnydaJibba · 2009-01-14, 09:55 AM

Thanks Cody. Lithia won't have the part in til Monday if I do order it.

Their phone prices are different than their online prices. Higher by about 70 dollars. I'm not ordering anything again without speaking to someone. This is getting ridiculous.
