i just got back from vacation and will finally have the time to remedy my winking (embarrassing) vette. a few years back i rebuilt drivers side with the plastic gear. i read some into it and my thinking was this. this gear was put in as plastic as the weak point in the system. the worm gear on the motor is metal. this way if something goes wrong and the motor keeps running, the plastic gear with break. if you replace gear with a copper one, and something goes wrong the motor will burn itself up. the weak point is eliminated and the repair is going to be much more expensive. as previously posted my passenger side is making the grinding noise, and the drivers side is stuck up. it will not go down on its own, or manually. what do you all suggest i rebuild them with, and is my train of thought incorrect. thanks
