#3 of 22 2001 grand prix windows by fnofnmbr8 Sep 07, 2006 (5:48 pm)
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on replacing the motors in the windows. three of my windows are no longer working and the dealership said it will be about $400 a window to fix. has anyone else had problems with the windows?

Replying to: fnofnmbr8 (Sep 07, 2006 5:48 pm) Yes I had the same problem with two of my windows. You can buy a kit off the internet for under 100 each. This seems to be very prevelant with them all the Grand Prix windows. Replies to this message: compfixr (Sep 27, 2006 6:53 pm) eaudejane (Oct 12, 2006 2:24 pm)

Replying to: msprainis (Sep 08, 2006 5:13 am) I would suggest www.1aauto.com. I purchased a front window regulator and motor from them and was very satisfied with the price (between 80-100 bucks) and the professional service. Replies to this message: eaudejane (Oct 12, 2006 2:24 pm)

Replying to: compfixr (Sep 27, 2006 6:53 pm) I was told that GM had a problem with the power windows for cars around this age. I have had one rear window motor/regulator replaced through the dealer and it was $525. This time with the proper research I am attempting to fix the other rear window which quit working about a month later. I also had to have the turn-signal switch replaced a couple of weeks ago. Dealer only part. Another 600 bucks for parts and labor.   I love my 2000 Grand Prix. I just wish everything wasn't happening all at once!   Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences and help!   Janie

Replying to: paul79uf (Apr 15, 2006 1:38 pm) I have a 2000 Grand Prix GT and the passenger side rear window isn't working right now. I notice if I hit the button (down), the window goes down maybe 3 inches, but won't go up. There is a sound being made by the motor, so it is getting power. The window will slowly drop w/road vibration and when I stop, I have to pull the window up by hand. Does anyone think the motor is fried and need to replace it, or does it (and the window track) just need some lubrication?

Replying to: neustkg (Oct 28, 2006 12:20 pm) Hi, I purchased a motor/regulator assembly from the website suggested by compfixr, above. It was VERY easy to install.   The first window (passenger right) went out and I paid the dealer over $500 to fix/replace. Then second (passenger left) went out a couple of weeks later. I fixed it myself for the cost of part and expedited shipping for $130 bucks. The very next day my friggin' driver side went out. So today I will go back and order BOTH front windows JUST IN CASE the other goes out. It's Murphy's Law I think. Anyway, I was very pleased with the purchase I made online. Check them out.   Also, my boyfriend has a Pontiac Firebird. His driver side window has been acting funky too. Well at least we're prepared for the worse now.   Thanks to everyone for posting such great info. If it wasn't for this site I would have probably paid the dealer again.     Replies to this message: neustkg (Oct 29, 2006 1:17 pm) kimithee (Dec 27, 2006 3:26 pm)

Replying to: eaudejane (Oct 28, 2006 5:30 pm) Just looked at the door. Do you know of any diagrams or instructions on how to get that panel off? I don't want to tackle it until I know exactly how to remove it w/o damaging the panel.
#11 of 22 Diagrams to get the panel off? by eaudejane Dec 02, 2006 (9:29 am)
Not sure of any diagrams online but this link was posted above: http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Grand-Prix-Window-Motor/index.html   You will have to take the screw out of the door by the handle. The other parts of the panel just snap in and out. If you tug on it gently you'll be able to find out where they are connected. Mostly on the sides. If the clips break yo can replace them. I doubt you'll do any real damage to the panel unless you are really aggressive.   For the most part it removes easily.   I know there was an issue putting the srew back into the panel, though. Kept falling out because my screwdriver wasn't magnetic. A little piece of tape attached to screw and tip of screwdriver kept it on and once you turn the screwdriver the tape will break off. Just a little bit of advice.   Janie
