Subject:Re: Vanagon Electric Window Motors

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Though there is a left and right mounting bracket, can the motor itself be
used in either position? I've got a motor that runs, but I don't see why it
could not be used on either side. Is the bracket built into the motor case
or is it a separate part? Seems like it should fit on either side and work,
since the motor runs either direction. What am I missing here? I can see a
right and left bracket, but shouldn't the same motor fit either one?
