Subject:Rebuilding Vanagon Electric Windows or How To Go Into Debt Quickly

Anyone have any inside information on a good reasonable way to rebuild or replace vanagon electric window motors and switches?  With vw replacement motors costing roughly as much as a left arm and leg, I would rather go with an alternate design which'll last longer if one exists.
Both of the Multivan's I've purchased and reworked (a 90 and now a 91) have had power windows which operated at a very slow speed as if the motors were wearing out.  Now I know that the vanagon is a patiencemobile but would very much like to get the window rolled down before my trip is over once in a while!!!

Anyone got any tips?
Thanks,
Brent
