Dorman 741-950 Front Driver Side Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly for Honda Models – Black Review

Replacement for my 2000 Honda CRV window regulator. A few years ago, on a very cold but damp day, I was trying to start my car and my windows were fogged up/iced up. I thought opening and closing the window a few times might help but it was too cold and they froze and the regulator motor made a terrible noise and never worked again. already a few years. I figured it was a shop repair and I didn't have the money or time. But I'm on a bit of a vacation, thought I might try making it myself. I…

I purchased this part and installed it on my 2000 CRV in Spring 2016. Accuracy. What was missing in detail in one video was provided by others. I think I did pretty well for someone with limited skills and tools as an auto mechanic. Last fall I had the opportunity to remove the door panel again and inspect Dorman parts to check for a water leak in the same CRV. The leak turned out to be unrelated to the door or window or a worn seal on my CRV, but I was able to inspect my repair work and am…

This is actually a very well made unit and the hardware is very comparable to the OEM part I shot in terms of overall quality (weight, metal thickness, fit/density of each component). Dorman stuff hits or misses, mostly misses, but this is an exception. It is screwed directly to all factory clearance-free bores. It runs very smooth and is much quieter than my original motor and ESC which were intermittent and slow and dry to the bone. This new part is heavily lubricated and runs very quietly…

I have a 1997 Honda CRV and the driver's side power window started to fail. It had trouble closing, often stopping about halfway. Then I would have to raise the glass manually - not ideal. I solved this problem by removing the door panel and spraying liberally with wd-40 on all moving parts. It didn't help at all. At that point I just grabbed Revain and ordered a new window regulator for $60 + $10 with same day shipping. It wasn't worth my time wasting further troubleshooting. Regardless, it…

I was hesitant to fix the window on my CR-V but decided to try. I am a woman over 50 with a disability. but probably a little more than a typical mechanical experience. Before ordering this replacement part, I removed the door panel on the car. I had never done this before but with the help of Mr. Google who took me to the Honda CR-V Owners Club Forum where I found detailed instructions with pictures I was able to remove the panel, inspect the mechanism and also the door reinstall. Plate looks…
