Do you have an existing assembly? If so, what is it not doing? A lot of these can be cleaned up, get some new grease in the motor, clean up the switches, and they work like new. Just takes a little work, and will save you a bunch of money & time.

It was bent and damaged from a body shop. Looks like two bolts/screw were backout and they lowered the window. The resulting 'recover effort' went poorly. I ended up getting it to work though. I had to remake all of the steel spacers, the wiring and the gear inside the motor after I got the arms straightened. For what it's worth I remade the gear in CAD and had it 3d printed in stainless steel for $40 US.

If anyone needs the files let me know. It fits great and meshes smooth.
