They are probably not really "new" and they are about the worst option you can install in your car. (I had Siemens motors before I jumped in to my experiment. The Dorman design is far superior and durable.) Likewise the hotwire mod may work to tear apart your composite door.

Interesting. I had not heard that before.
Here is a pic of them;

Wow - those are new cases. I haven't seen something like that in a while. Hopefully, they should do well for you initially. (Remans don't have a very good track record.)
The Dorman motors are fully sealed and the only penetration of the case is where the main rod and gear come out of the case. The OEM design has several other points where rivets go in to the case and bearings are pressed in. Supposedly, that lets in dirt and leads to faster wear.
