Power Window Motor Suitable for power windows and motors

This motor arrived in 7 days with free shipping. The connector that came with the motor did not fit the connector in the door. The connector on the failed motor had to be cut off and plugged into the new motor in order for power to be supplied to the motor. Also, the new motor's timing shaft is not as long as the OEM motor, resulting in the gearbox barely engaging the window mechanism. Matched motor mounting holes. The engine is installed and works perfectly so far. This motor costs about 1/3…

Either the part is wrong or NOT complete and now I have to pay to get it back!

I'm not sure what the problem is, but the description and photos show a cable connected to this window regulator motor. The connector is the same shape/size as the OEM door wire so I figured it would be fine. I received a beautiful motor but without a cable. I have requested a return as I cannot install this item on my power window and now have to pay $7.61 to return this item. DISSATISFIED. Again, maybe MO companies have some quality assurance gap in shipping or picking, I'm not sure. But…

  • Delivery was very fast

Worked great for spare parts

5 stars are truly for products that completely exceed your expectations and that are hard to come by with aftermarket parts. Now you actually need to put some grease on the metal gearbox to keep it from making noise as it's metal on metal and that's how the factory motor you have to buy separately comes in. Now if it came with a tiny sachet of lube it would exceed my expectations and get 5 stars. Maybe that's a harsh criticism, but that's the fairest thing I can do. Has been working great for a

Pros
  • Easy installation

good product: spare parts

I bought these for my 2006 F250 Super Duty, one for each front door. Installation was easy, took me about 45 minutes per door, motors work great. I think they're a little quicker than the factory engines, but that's not a complaint. It's been almost two months since I installed them and they continue to work perfectly. This is a good product that I would recommend. It works as it should and for a DIYer they are pretty easy to install. I only give 4 stars because I reserve five stars for…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad but...
