Our biggest problem with using the window motors from year to year has been that they are different from year to year as far as how the motor looks under the faceplate. It is basically a re design each time we try and use one. I will see if I can get any details and put it into a whitepaper or at least some pics to share with the community. We never really thought we were doing anything that special but maybe we are. Does anyone else know of another team that does this?
