Default power window motors

My back window motors on my convertible are clicking. My question is are these motors the same as the front? Where can I get new gears? Does anyone have the motors or gears that I need?

if the motors are running you only need to change the lil plastic things inside the casing
I went to the junkyard pulled out one motor from a lincoln took the motor apart took out the plastic things
then I found a v6 mustang that had a motor that was good and took those out to
went to pay for em and it was like a dollar those lil plastice things theres 3 of them in the motor break all the time.
if your motors running just replace those some guy on ebay sells them for like 6 bucks a set.
that lincoln motor was exactly the same as my mustang motor! if the motors bad just take it with you to the jy and find one that will work

Actually the motors and housings are the same for the front and back. The difference is in the gear design. I put one of my old front motors that still worked in the rear when it stopped working. Yoy just have to swap gears. The internals are not the same, but I fabbed mine to fit and seem to be holding up well. 50 Resto does sell the replacement gears for both front and rear, as well as complete assemblies.
