If you have any electro-mechanical skills - you can do it yourself.  Just have to be logical about how it came apart and how it goes back together.

Schlepcar.
I have both door motors out and tested. Both motors go up without issue, both very slow and weak coming to the down position. I have not removed the quarter window motors yet but they move very slow both directions in the car. I do not want to go the repop route, but the one vendor that I have contacted wants $225 per motor to go through them.
Any other vendor or advise is helpful.

This pic was taken '80 of my '72. Of all the cars that I've had this one and my 396 SS/RS are my all time favorites.

Funny, I had a 73 full bumper Camaro in 1980. Maroon with black vinyl top and black interior,...front and rear spoilers like yours, but I put a 78 Z28 hood scoop on it.

A friend of mine had a red 70 RS with the L88 hood on it and I always thought it looked perfect on it.

  I had rebuilt  some years ago. My general opinion is that there are no aftermarket set-ups that are made as well as oem. It is also my opinion that factory power windows are a rare enough option that it should be repaired rather than replaced. Most of the time that I ever tore a motor apart I found it was either junk or not needing a tear down. They were either corroded so bad that they were not usable or just plain worked. I think if I were to do another car I would likely test them before doing anything. Each motor has to be independently tested and every switch. The master switch and harness is where a lot of issues begin. There is not much in tearing apart a motor just for inspection purposes. A simple clean up and lube will generally give peace of mind to a functioning motor and junk ones can be rebuilt with parts of other  makes and models. The difficult part is already handled if you have all the right harness and regulators. When testing the motors just remember there is no positive/negative….you have to reverse the terminals for each direction. A good jump pack is handy for testing.
