Default power window motor

my 95z has a problem with the right window. when i try to put the window up it does not have enough power and sometimes it doesnt go up at all. i have to do it manually. my question is if ineed the window regulator without the motor or with the motor. im not sure which one it is. how do i know if i need the window motor?

you need a window motor, other than only working for a short time is there any other problem with the window? lose or rattle?

no the window is fine. no rattles. i just have alot of trouble when im putting up the window. i usually have to start putting it up a long time before i get to my destination if not i have to get off and put it up manually.

yep you need a window motor. one thing you could do is replace the window stabilizer pads, they dont cost much and help to keep the window steady when half way down.

You need the window motor. These cars are notorious for them to go out. They're cheap little units that aren't worth a damn.
