My window motor went out on the driver's side, so I took it off track so I can manually raise and lower it... but now I've got a replacment motor, how the HELL do I install it? I cant see anyway to get inside the door panel to put this thing in there, or remove the other, Im about ready to cut the door panel away!

I pulled the motors from a ZX a while ago. As I remember I removed the window, then pulled the regulator, then removed the screws that hold the motor and slid the motor out. There should be 3 (or 4) screws on the inner door panel that hold the motor in. There is no reason to cut the door. Did you check the manual ????

The first thing to do is disconnect the arm going to the window channel to allow you to raise the window all the way up by hand and secure it there with some tape. Then, after you unbolt the motor you should be able to jockey it around and get it out. Then, since you probably won't remember exactly how you got it out, you jockey around some more putting in the new one.
