I tested the the switches with a test light, they're fine, given the history of this car it's most likely the motor.

its easy to run jumpers from your batt to the switch. a wire from + and a wire from -. unplug the motor relay and touch the 2 prongs with the wires. if it dont go up and down its the motor. easier to check it first before you take it out.

Yeah I gotta change that, well have it rebuilt. I guess I'll just drill those rivets out.

Dont do that. If its just the motor is held in by 3 screws. Take those 3 gold screws loose, un hook the motor and then work it down through the speaker hole.

Yup. It's held on by 3 screws but then you have to unclip a piece also.

If the motor is getting hot then the problem is definitly the motor. The motors should never feel really hot.
