Review on 🔌 Dorman 742-848 Power Window Motor for Front Driver Side - Compatible with Select Acura and Honda Models by Ahmed Jackson

Replacing the drive motor for a previously replaced driver's side windshield on a 1999 Honda CRV that was dead dead. Removing the door panel, disconnecting the old engine and installing a new one took several hours, but it was learned along the way. What was interesting to discover when we removed the inner door panel was that the body shop, which charged almost $400 for an OEM replacement in 2008, did not oil the lift or other moving parts. Everything was dry. A few days after the first change I went back to the body shop to tell them the glass wasn't working properly and was grinding. They said no, it's fine. This drag was probably due to a lack of lubrication, and that burned out the motor. Now, 11 years later, with this new Dorman engine, we have lubricated the lift and all moving parts. We also applied silicone grease around the rubber. The engine works very well. Much better than the previous car service installation. Honda charged me $578 for an engine swap. About $300 for one part! I would have liked instructions, but I think for the price you would expect too much.
