I bought a couple supposedly new ones from another ebay store, one was fine and one was noisey. Check their lifetime warranty and see if you have to send it back (pay shipping again, etc.) if it's bad or fails. My advice is pay a little more and get one with a lifetime warranty from your local parts store.

Do not buy these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-92...QQcmdZViewItem
I bought a set and the passenger side lasted about 4 days.

I was advised by a couple of forum members to get the Siemens motor and not the Dorman. I purchased it from partsamerica for $61.00. Used Shoebox's guide and it works like a charm.

Hi Folks
Mine came from Advance Auto Parts (about $60) but for the one on ebay, why not - I am sure it works. The price is great but when you replace it use the approach were you drill three holes in the inside door frame, don't follow the shop manual and drill out the BIG rivets (1/4"). I did it the hard way, it worked but would have been easier if I would have drill the three holes to get to the rivets holding motor to window frame.
thanks
Bill
