I need to pull the passenger front power window motor and drive to replace some worn bushings. I'm hoping someone else has been down this path before ('73 Mustang 'vert, factory power windows).
This part in the Ford Manual has me concerned: drill holes in my car???

"3. On Mustang and Cougar models, make a template from the dimensions given in Fig 5. The dimensions shown are for right doors. Reverse the template for left doors. All other models except Ford, Mercury and Meteor have holes punched in the door for motor and drive removal. On Ford, Mercury and Meteor, it will be necessary to drill a 3/4 inch access hole for the lower attaching screw at the dimple in the inner panel.
4. Position the template... punch the drill locations center point.
5. Remove the template and drill holes with a 3/4 inch hole saw."
Have you done this? Is there any feasible workaround?
