Review on πŸ’‘ Dorman Window Lift Motor 742-264 - Front Driver Side Replacement for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Models by James Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Replacement inserts - as advertised

Overall - I am completely satisfied with this product. I used 742-264 to replace the front/driver side motor on my 1997 Ford Explorer. I also used a 742-265 to replace the front/passenger side motor. I'm the original owner and the drivers side glass has been repaired 3 times in the life of my car so I'm not a big fan of OEM engines - they should last over 5 years. So I decided to give this Dorman product a try as it was half the price of an OEM refurbished product and had a better warranty. Form, fit and function were perfect for a direct swap - Note: I didn't swap the ESCs, just the motors. One of the other reviewers pointed out that these engines were louder than the original engines - not my experience, but I may have gotten used to the growl of older engines in their death throes. I bought through Revain based on the reviews and I VERY appreciated the 'It fits your car' feature on the website. A final note for fellow DIYers: there are no instructions in the box. Before ordering, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the installation.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
