as far as fasteners personally for ease of removal and installation i would use bolts the reason it is rivited in now is because rivets are cheaper at the factory than bolts
Mine were bolted on from the factory, but you have to drill 2 holes in the door frame to access all the bolts (there are 3). The door frame is dimpled where you need to drill and you use a 1/2" drill bit.
thank you. this will be coming soon, and i was gonna use bolts, in my mustang i swapped out the door lock actuator which was riveted in, and the bolt is still holding.
i was putting mine on by myself so i actually think i used 2 self tapping screws in each one... and then a bolt.... ill take the panels off here in a day or so to fix them and ill snap a picture of it
Ok, do to be clear, I was talking about bolts that hold the motor on the regulator. The regulator is riveted in, but you don't have to pull the regulator to replace the motor if you drill out the dimples in the door frame.
what dimples are u talking about because my doors dont have any around the motor
Not all doors have the dimples, "best guess" on the doors that don't will work.
Depends on what ExtrmZ has to do, title says motor, body states regulator so at this point its unclear what he/she wants to do.
However I'd add if the motor makes noise, can hear it spin, but the window doesn't move or just slides down on its own he doesn't need a motor, just the little bushings that drive the regulator. Myself I cut replacements parts from of a solid sheet of nylon.
