Window motor mixup Both my window motors need replacing, so I ordered the Siemens motors from Autozone. Problem is, I recieved Dorman motors not Siemens 
So I look at the boxes and they say that these Dorman (Part #742-101) replaced the Siemens(Part #WL42014). I'm a little annoyed because my invoice has the Siemens part # that I ordered thru Autozone. Should I just use these motors, they still have the warranty, I'm just a little ticked off because I wanted the Siemens which everyone says are the good ones. Did Autozone stop carrying the Siemens?

There was a thread about this along time ago.I had the same problem.I went ahead and used the Dormans.They've been working great.My friend got Dormans as well and wasnt happy about that and went to Autozone and had them switch them for actual Siemans.The Siemans come in a white box and say Siemans on them.The Dormans are the brown box.You wont be disapointed with the Dormans,although the Siemans are a little quieter for what ever reason.
