Which window motor to buy?



You can get a whole new regulator with a lifetime warranty from O'Reilly for about the same price. That's what I did.
 
Logan so you're saying the more expensive one died in a year? Did you buy the cheaper one then?

Andrew can you link me to the part on O'Reilly? I only see regulators without motors there...
 
just get a new window regulator. its the whole part the motor sits on, and a new motor. they can be found for around 50 bucks.
 
Took the door apart, turns out the cable was frayed and all jammed up. After a couple of weeks of trying to open and close a jammed up window regulator im surpised the motor is still running, but it is! Just ordered the ACDelco regulator from rock auto for $45, pep boys wanted $70 for the Dorman part.

Thanks for all of your help Scotty.
 


most of use have eaten a regulator or 2 over the years. im yet to do one in the regal. but my truck used to eat them for lunch for some reason.

Nope went to jy found a 4 door with low miles pulled from the rear door figured that had seen less use
 
Okay so to revive this thread I replaced the regulator with a new AcDelco one from RockAuto, put it all back together and it just doesn't seem to have the power to fully move up and down. It quits out after a few very slow inches of either up or down.

This would make me think the motor is burned out from trying to move the old (and frayed) regulator so many times. However when you remove the motor from the regulator it goes without a problem and seems to be consistent and powerful. What do you guys think? If I buy a new motor I can't return it after I install it so I need to make a decision here...
 
I would buy motor with regulator or if you just want a motor and can wait a week or two I have motor I bought brand new that's only been in about 6 months its a acdelco or $30.00 shipped
 


Just my input, but I've put 5 ebay motor/regulator assemblies into the 3 GP's I've owned. They were all faster than the stock motors, and never once **** out. (though one I did have to repin the connector, because up was down, and down was up)
