Review on 🚘 Dorman Front Driver Side Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly (Black) for Select Dodge Models - 741-649 by Joseph Scalea

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Junk item with known defects that Dorman will not repair

You can purchase this and it will most likely fit. It fits perfectly in my 2002 Dodge Dakota. The problem is that you have to buy a new one every few months or at most once a year. They use cheap plastic clips to hold the entire cable, motor and rail together. These break every time. I've bought 6 of these in the last two years to replace the broken ones. I'm only buying them here because the dealer is asking $600 for one. Dorman knows this is a problem, and there is ample evidence to support this error. Dorman simply refuses to do anything about it. So if you have metal rails and 12v dc motor parts in stock that you will never use, this product is for you. Or you throw away a bunch of metal and electronics every six months because a tiny piece of plastic broke. That's what's wrong with this world. I have a drum for 55 Dorman window frame motors that all needed the exact same repair. Of course, Dorman also guarantees that you will NOT be able to purchase a replacement plastic element. This is a really sad situation that wastes so much time, energy, money and harms the environment.

Pros
  • Replacement Parts
Cons
  • Upgradeable
