Does it work or not?

THAT is the question. What is IT? IT is the motor for the driver’s side front window. I had some issues with it last fall where it didn’t want to move up OR down. It got worse a couple months ago. I went to the bank, rolled down the window (or tried to) and heard this screechy noise. Then the window wouldn’t move at all.

I called a couple repair places around town. It would cost anywhere between $175 and $300 to fix it … depending on where I take it. I figured I’d wait some time in April to take it in and see exactly what is wrong and get it fixed.

Well, when I came home from work for lunch today, I tried my window. It rolled down without any problem. I only rolled it down about an inch or 2 … I don’t want to tempt fate. I don’t know if it’s just that it hasn’t been used for so long that it’s all rested up or what. I’ll still take it in to at least get an estimate (I can get a free one at Meineke … and it’s not very far from my apartment.). Maybe there are only parts of the motor that need to be replaced and not the entire thing. I’m sure that’s wishful thinking on my part … but I can hope. If it doesn’t cost as much as the estimates I got, then that’s just more of savings that can go for a laptop and less time to get the amount I need.
