Correct part for reasonable price
Verified Buyer - Submitted 9 years ago
Product was exactly as described, fit the application exactly, and adequately packaged for safe product handling. Both regulator and motor appeared same quality of materials as part I was replacing although can't tell whether original was still OEM. Connector mated exactly to vehicle wiring harness. Although I might have been able to find used at local yard, at this price for regulator and motor and warranty was just a much better low risk alternative. Would not hesitate to get this item or similar for other vehicles as applicable.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
solid aftermarket replacement

This was my for 88 fullsize bronco. Knowing this was an aftermarket part, i knew it was going to be somewhat different. When you first open the package they have a peice of paper showing that this is a universal part, where some vehicles it would mount upside down. Then it had the great Brand of Tiwan on the motor it's self, So i was very hesitant. Then i realized it did not come with the mounting hardware.
So after some searching i realized advance auto parts did not stock the DORMAN Regulator Hardware kit?!? So i checked a few other chains sure enough they had it in stock the universal part code for this is Dorman 702-013. Now i'm not going to give a long rant, that if you stock the part, you should have enough commonsense to stock the hardware to mount it & the tools it takes to mount it. Mine only took 4 poprivets, trust me when i say this that those 1/4 inch steel poprivets are not only stronger then tring to bolt and nut it up, it's a heck of a lot easier!
That said, you will need a heavy duty poprivet gun (I do have one but I do this for a living, so i got my tools). If none of your local chain stores carrys it, even for a loaner? then go to a real bodyshop (not a mechanic shop) as we use heavy duty poprivet guns almost daily when replacing doors.
Besides that, this is a much sweeter lighter weight and less bulky regulator & motor combo, then what you will pull out of your door. Which makes installing it in a tight place to begin with a heck of a lot easier! Far as longjevity only time will tell, but it seems stronger then the orignal.
I gave it 4 stars only because of the hassel of not stocking (not even able to order it) the mounting kit Dorman 702-013 ... Besides that, now i will replace my right side with this setup with a nice 15% discount and maybe with a gift card!
