These motors are substantially more powerful than the window motors.

They were legal in 2012 and 2014 as well.

That's exactly what we plan on using it for. We have been trying to make a spool to put on the shaft to make a pulley but it's oddly shaped and metric.

Just an FYI, the worm gear is pretty efficient (as far a worm gears go), so its actually easy to back drive it.

We thought about a worm gear but with our experience with it last year, it overheated very easily and would stop working. With this motor, we tested 70lbs in " windshield wiper mode" for 3 minutes continuously and the motor was stone cold.
