Works best in window regulators and motors

Well installed and works well, slightly noisier than original equipment but a good replacement. Note: This is one of those numbered dorms that is described for the opposite side door, not the one in the ad.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Concise instructions

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Highly recommend Good for window regulators and motors

Includes everything you need to replace rivets with screws. Works great and fits perfectly. Now I don't have to raise the window while holding down the button or push it down while holding down the button. The motor is a little louder than stock, but not critical. That's the ONLY reason I took off a star.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Can't remember

working window again.

Didn't quite fit the car because the plastic wrap interferes with the car structure. It wasn't difficult to cut off the plastic that was causing the malfunction. Don't forget to oil things and oil the window. It's nice that it came with bolts after cutting off the OEM rivets holding the broken motor in place. Glad I have a Dremel.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I'll write later

Nice item, easy to install if you follow the YouTube video instructions

742-142 for driver's door, 742-143 for passenger's door. Watch YouTube videos on how to do this - there are several - look specifically for this one: How to Replace a 03-07 GMC Savana Window Motor (aka "Express"). Great instructions, even a dummy like me can handle it without any problems.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Only available in black

Perfect replacement for a 1990 Chevy C1500 Truck

I used this power window motor on a 1990 Chevrolet C1500. It was the perfect replacement for power windows. It's easy to install and lifts the very heavy windows that the old '90s Chevy had. I've had it installed for a few months now and have had no problems lowering or raising windows. This is a five star product and I would definitely recommend it.

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Compatibility

Hard work but engine runs well

Wires have been reversed. I bought it for the driver side but got the passenger side. Easy to fix, just cut and replace. But still stinks to do. Especially after paying attention and reading all the reviews to order the right one. I would buy both and return the one that doesn't work if I had to do it again. Come to think of it, I wouldn't just buy the motor if I had to do it all over again. I would buy the whole set. Hard work just to put the engine in.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Other

Easy repair for almost any DIYer!

Thank you to the people who leave product reviews on Revain. Reviews for this product are no exception. I knew ahead of time that I would have to use my dremel to remove the rivets holding the motor. That was the hardest part. One of the included adapters fitted perfectly and was easy to reattach with the included screws. Now the window works like new in my '97 Lumina (gangster phone). I highly recommend this product.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Dear

Purchased to replace the power window in a 1990 Chevrolet Silverado single cab. The original engine lasted 30 years. This kit has everything you need for multi-vehicle installation and the wiring harnesses are of a very high quality. This is not an easy fix for this truck. To replace this motor, which is riveted to the inner panel, the entire door skin panel and inner door panel must be removed. Make sure you have a dremel, angle grinder or drill that can handle very strong old rivets. The…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
