    Coupe Rear Quarter Panel Window Replacement Motor. DIY Needed

    I have searched and searched for this. Dane came up with a couple of DIY but unfortunately they were for the adjustment of the windows not the actual motor replacements.

    Does anyone have a good source for a DIY or if you have a Bentley Manual can you tell me if there is a section in there for the Coupe Window Motor Replacement since mine is loaned out at the moment.

    Thanks
    Phil

    Hi, Phil, yes there is a section on 2-door window alignment in the Bentley. There is also a "close with door shut" feature explanation, as well as a motor replacement page or 2.

    Right Tymm, I told him the different sections present in the Bentley manual, specifically addressing the 2 door model.

    My bad, sorry, OP did not see the rear quarter panel (not door) in the title. So there is a window that goes up and down in the rear quarter panel on a 2 door coupe?
    I'll look in my Bentley again tonight..

    It "pops" out the window on the Coupe, the verts drop into the body. I know that you have to remove the plastic covering that is at the top of the side bolster in the rear seat to get access to the motor. I haven't need to replace mine, just took it off for the tinting of my rear window and saw the motor in there.
