My '02 Silverado came as a base model from the factory. Manual windows. Manual just about everything. Right after I bought it in '05, I had power windows installed.
At some point a few years ago the driver's side stopped working. The motor went bad. I bought a replacement and still have it but decided since it was the driver's side, I'd just use a window crank. These window cranks have about a 2 year life until the ribbing wears out. So today I went by my FLAPS to pick up another one. Kid behind the counter asks for all my vehicle info and then says "We have one by Dorman that fits your vehicle for $21." I said - I paid less than $10 for my last one. Let's go look. We went to the window crank section and I picked out the $7 Dorman unit. Purcshased and went outside to install and two minutes later it worked like a dream.
So just out of curiosity I just now look it up on
Amazon and it's only $4.36 and I could have it tomorrow with my Prime membership. Oh well....was worth the $7 to get it resolved. The old one was not engaging very well. Works fantastic now.
