So I have established the motor is dead because I can apply battery power to the terminals and it does not make any sound at all. No clicks, nothing.

Now, with the front windows, the motor is separate from the regulator and can be swapped easily. This seems not to be the case with the rear windows on the w124.

The wire seems to be a part of the motor. Fastline lists EACH side at $320
No way I want to pay $640 to get the rear windows working....But I am kinda desparate because I want to get the car tinted and they won't do it without the windows working.

Any advice? Any cheaper options here?

What about removing the glass w/o the motor working? I'd like the windows to work, but I can live without if I can just get the glass out to tint it.

Thanks
