Only buy this brand as a last resort.

I liked that the part worked well. But absolutely hated that it was made so cheaply. The mounting holes for the tension came loose when attaching to my door panel. I had to improvise to fix it because I didn't have time to return it. It was 20 degrees outside and I needed a working window. This post was included in the 2014 Dodge Caravan. Yes. You read that right. And 2014. Even the original, factory window regulator was a bunch. What do you expect from Dodge? I have driven 25 year old Toyotas…

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Some bugs

If it's a genuine Dorman product, it doesn't say

A year and a half ago my driver's side window fell into the door after I heard a grinding noise. I bought and installed the cheapest Revain window regulator. It worked for 17 months and then it happened again. So this time I said I'd buy one that at least carried the brand name and while the dorman is sometimes laughed at, I haven't had any problems with any of the dormans. Parts are now part of my van. But that? It doesn't look like Dorman's part. No markings anywhere. It came in a plastic bag

Pros
  • on the box or on the product itself. Weight
Cons
  • . The list will be long.

Save big money and do it yourself

This part is for Chrysler Town and Country. I installed it on a 2012 model and it was very easy. I would describe how to do it, but there are several videos on Youtube that walk you through the instructions step by step. Let me tell you how this saved me a lot of money. A local tire shop (name not given) charged me $200 for the motor, $189 for this part, and $300 for the labor. As you can see by reading this review, the item is much cheaper.3. Normally the engine is not bad. If the cable fails,

Pros
  • Best in Niche

Fits, Works: Replacement parts

Fits like OEM. Time will tell how long it will last. However, the large plastic pallets that hold the window are stress-cracked during installation (you have to force them to slide along the edge of the glass until the plastic tab snaps into the hole in the glass, causing it to flex until it snaps into place). ). The originals broke when they were removed, they were very brittle (the temperatures were below zero here, which probably didn't help). Tip: You can replace this without completely…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Upgrades available

Works but has a few minor issues

Bought this to replace a 2009 VW Routan that chewed a wire in the factory regulator (only 56,000 miles) on my car ). Lots of YouTube videos showing how to make the replacement so I was able to take it apart and install it fairly easily in about 4 hours of work. The reason this took longer than it should is probably due to two issues (which is why I only gave it 3 stars). 1) Plastic piece that holds the window on the right side of the door (towards the front of the car). ), cracked when…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
