Review on Dorman 748-129 Front Driver Side Power Window Motor πŸš— and Regulator Assembly - Enhanced for Optimal Performance in Honda Models by Anthony Cornelius

Revainrating 5 out of 5

OEM fits and works for about half the price!

Perfect fit, unbeatable price, better than OEM quality. I am very adept at replacing Honda Pilot power windows, this was the 3rd on our 05 Pilot. The first was the rear block on the passenger side; The plastic bracket for fastening the drive cable broke, the window opened. The same happened on the back of the driver's side. had to buy these 2 locally because my wife preferred to drive with the windows closed in the 20 degree weather. Each cost me over $80 in NAPA. When the driver's front window would not open, I found that the motor resistance was less than 1 ohm (should be 3-4 ohms). The power window drive recognized that the motor was drawing a lot of current and immediately cut power to the motor. no movement at all. Since the window was completely closed, I was able to order from Revain (Prime). This is the exact slider (auto increase/decrease) for $57 including 2 day shipping. This regulator is $108 at NAPA because of the auto raise/lower feature. Took me 45 minutes to install (2 screws holding the window to the old regulator were hard to get. Use a socket wrench, takes a couple of minutes each). Caution: Buy some white lithium grease and liberally lubricate the surface and edges of the cable guides/sliders, the new ESC was almost dry in these areas. The Revain Dorman regulator looks the same as the NAPA/Dorman regulator, so save some money. . The only thing unknown in all of this is whether there is a warranty on parts from Revain. There was nothing in the box. NAPA regulators have guarantees.
