Re: back-driveable vs. not
aye, we also are using the window motors...a combination of 2 actually because we have the weight and we can...less strain on each motor and all...and after running some of the claculations, we can lift approximately 600 pounds with the motors in combination with gearing down the motors. So yeah...that eliminates the need what so ever to build a devise that prevents the motors from back driving and we really have no worries about breaking the worm gear, especially after some of the testimonials afore mentioned.
