🚗 Dorman 742-444 Front Driver Side Power Window Motor | Ford/Mercury Models Review

The motor didn't fit my 2001 Windstar and I found out it didn't fit until after the return period. Please make sure it fits your car before ordering!

this article is not for windstar 99 to 03. def wrong part and the manufacturer complained about it. I'm ordering another one from Napa, got the right one. This is the wrong part number, do not order it. The damn door was demolished within a week of waiting if that's the case.

Does not fit my 2001 Ford Windstar as advertised. The hole pattern is completely different. Cannot return as I have only just received it and the return date has passed. I threw away $50.00. I need engine #741-870. Not 742-444

Bought in exchange a long time ago (May 2019). Was about to install it but found it doesn't fit the 2003 Ford Windstar. Now not only have I lost $35, but the only Revain listing for my Windstar has the exact same part number. Need to break the bank and deal with NAPA or one of the other spares.

Did not fit. The screw holes did not match the bracket. I just found out that Ford uses 2 different engines for my model year. Perhaps it should be noted with the Revain that there are 2 different engines. All the work I did was a waste of time.

Motor once fitted works great. However, the installation required a number of modifications including but not limited to re-tightening the mounting threads that did not match the existing bolts and replacing the old electrical connector with a new motor. In the end everything worked fine and the window went up and down as it should.

Do not buy! This is NOT an exact replacement. The screws don't fit on my Windstar 02. So now I have the old motor and can't mount the new one. The Windstar is said to have 2 motors this year and the part number is the one I used. So I'm really angry. Only today it's hot and I still can't roll down the window. Many thanks to Amazon and Dorman. I can no longer use Amazon. Now 2 out of 3 products are wrong or cheap. What's happening?!

Check out my passenger side motor review. You will need a metric M5-.80 x 16 or x 12 and a Torx E6 reversible socket. I recommend drilling holes with a 1" drill bit as these things need replacing more often than you think. If you use the original bolts they seem to work, but the new holes are metric, they are too tight and are starting to loosen. Otherwise the part looks the same as the old one.

This engine runs well on its own but is not a direct replacement for the 2006 Ford Freestar. It's definitely "this device fits many". The most frustrating thing is that the factory bolts don't fit this engine. Threads are different. If there were only 3 standard screws it would be easy enough to buy new ones. However, one of the studs is unique and looks more like a mounting stud. I also had to rip the connector off the old block as the connectors weren't the right ones. So as long as you're…
