Dorman 742-600 Power Window Lift Motor Compatible with Select Models

Installed in the driver side of a 2001 Corolla without any problems. Works great and the provided electrical cable (one of the 3 different types provided) clipped right in. The speed is about the same as the other windows and the noise is slightly louder but comparable when putting the window up. The only thing worth mentioning about the installation (besides the fact that there isn't a whole lot of room to work with inside the door) is that the holes for the screws on the motor housing are not yet threaded so you will want to use the screws (which should be self tapping) to create the internal threads prior to placing the motor inside the door where you will not have the leverage required to tap the screw. This product worked perfectly and fixed my window problem. It's only been installed for a few weeks but externally it seems at least as well built as the original motor. I'm thinking about getting the passenger side version of this motor even though that side is only beginning to show signs of failure.

Fits my 1999 Tacoma TRD 4x4 just fine and works great. Be aware that it's a 1-size-fits-many, so it comes with a couple of different wire pigtails to choose from, and you just select the pigtail that fits your car. One end plugs into the motor, the other end plugs right into your car plug. The metal parts were a perfect match and bolted right up. The sound is a tiny bit higher pitched that my OEM motor, and the window might move a little faster. The express-down feature still works great too! I've only had it in for a couple of months, but so far it's working perfectly and is significantly cheaper than the OEM motor. I would definitely buy this again.

Despite all the concerns from other reviews about the mounting holes on the motor not being pre-threaded, I did not have any issues threading the holes manually with the existing screws, as others suggested. What's more important is that the screws thread properly into metal door frame once they pass through the mounting holes on the motor. I was also pleased that for my 1999 Toyota Sienna, the up/down buttons were not reversed as some other reviewers mentioned having trouble with. One of the 3 included wiring harnesses fit perfectly and saved me the trouble of having to splice wires. I watched a couple of YouTube videos on other people replacing their motors and got the job done in about 2 hours. My local auto glass guy wanted $160 to replace the motor (parts and labor), and thanks to AMZ warehouse deals, I got the motor for a steal at $32. $128 savings for 2 hours of work and my window works like new again! If only I made $64/hr at my regular job, haha!

Bought this to replace the original Toyota window motor for the driver-side window on my 1989 Supra. I installed it on the original window regulator, and as other reviews have noted, the mounting holes on this Dorman motor do not have threads (not "tapped"), which is annoying, but you can still use it and you do NOT need special tools. First, make sure you have all the original screws from your old window motor, and second, set the motor aside, separate from the regulator, then carefully insert one of the original screws into one of the holes and start screwing it in. You will need to keep the screw nice and straight and apply some force initially, but the screw will start to dig in and self-tap the hole, meaning it will create its own screw threads. Do this for the other two holes, then back the screws out, THEN mount the motor to your regulator. I also had the problem where the window was moving in the direction opposite of what I was pressing on the switch, but this was an easy fix as well. At least for the plug Dorman includes for Toyota, they use a type that makes it easy to swap the black and red wires around, you just need a small flat-head screw driver to push the white plastic tab away from the wire lead, and then you can push it out of the plug. Do the same for the other wire, then reinsert them in the opposite slots, and after that your window should go up and down as expected with the corresponding switch press. As for the overall performance of the Dorman motor, the sound is fine and it moves the window up and down at a reasonable speed -- not too fast, and not too slow. I am a little concerned about longevity, and almost wish I went with the reman motor from Cardone (as I believe it's a remanufactured Toyota motor), but I'll give the Dorman a chance and see how it goes.

I purchased this for my 1998 Toyota Corolla. Replacing the motor itself is very very easy, the time consuming part will be removing your regulator off the door so that you can access this motor but it's all just nuts and bolts ,nothing fancy. The part arrived with 3 different wire harnesses ,one of them was exactly the one needed for my vehicle. There are no threads on the mounting holes but that is no problem at all,just use the same screws from your old motor and they will tap the threads on the holes as you screw them in carefully. The motor works great,i can finally use my window without it dying on me haflway up or down.

I found it easy to install and liked that it comes with different wiring connectors in case you need them. But the connectors are wired wrong. They are not red to red or black to black. Because of this, it makes the window work backward. So just cut them and swap the wires to get it correct. Also, the holes are not threaded on the motor but I was able to srew the screws in slowly with a drill and I added a little oil and it threaded very easily. No damage to the threads of the screws. I have only been using it for 2 wks now, but all is working well. ***Update*** Motor burned out in less than a month of use. It really sucks because I had it shipped all the way to Belize. The original motor that is 29 years old still works, but the new one did make 3 weeks. Changing my review to 1 star.

This was cheaper than an online auto store. I installed this into a 1999 Toyota Sienna. It took no more than 10 minutes to mount the motor onto the lift. Do not worry about tapping the mounting holes with a tap & die set. Just use your pre-existing screws and start to thread it prior to mounting it on the lift. This saved me a lot of money over my local auto store and works just a good as OEM. Here is a quick guide to replace it on a 1st Gen Toyota Sienna - - Remove the screw inside the door handel cover. - Use a flat head screw driver stick it just above the lock "button" at 12 o'clock gently pry up/down, do the same at the 6 o'clock position. - Remove the door arm rest by sticking a flat head screw driver in the crack and pry gently up/down. Once that is off remove the 2 black screws. - Remove the entire door pannel. Tape the end of a flat head screwdriver and slide it along the door frame and plastic pannel. gently pry all the away around. Slowly pull up and out to lift it off the top lip. Watch out as you still have 2 connectors to disconnect. 1st is the door light, 2nd is the power window/lock control. - Peel back the plastic sheeting 75% up. use some tape to hold it up while you work. - Remove the power control unit from the door panel and reattach the wire harness. lower the window until you can see the 2 bolts holding the window to the lift. remove the left one and then line up the right one with a access hole in the door frame. it should be a 1" hole. once that is completed roll up the window all the way. use ducktap or packaging take and from the indside over the top door frame to the outside. Basiclly it is a upside down "U". Use blank sheets of paper and place it over the painted part of the door fram to protect it from the tape. - Roll the lift all the way down to the bottom. The glass should now be held in place by the tape. There are 5 gold 10mm bolts holding the lift and 1 black/sliver/gray bolt. Watch out for this one as it has a washer that easily falls out. Disconnect the window motor wire harness and pull the entire lift out. - Note the gears in relation to the motor. Remove the old motor. Caution there is tention and the gears will move. - Prep the new motor and pre tap the mounting bolts with the existing screws. - Mount the new motor and now you are 90% done. - Reverse all the previous steps and you are now done.

I would have given this motor a higher rating, since it did come with the correct harness for plug & play installation in my 2003 Tundra Access Cab. Unfortunately, the wires to this motor were reversed, and when plugged in, actuating the window "up", caused the window to roll down. I had to cut off the connector, reverse it and butt connect it together. Once this was done, everything worked flawlessly. You may want to contact the maker and let them know that they need to be more careful when installing the leads into the plugs.

Watched a " YOU TUBE" video on installation of window motor, everything came out EASY other than clip breaking on arm rest & wiring clip on master switch!!! Had it done in just over 1 hour!!! Screws holding mtr. to regulator re threaded into new mtr. EASY!!!! Note, re lube all pivots & gear with white grease while you have regulator out. window works very smooth & saved a "TON" of $ doing it compared to dealership $ 1000+ taxes!!!!!

The product was approximately half the price of the opposition's product and fitted and worked perfectly. As other customers have mentioned the polarity is the opposite of that of the motor being replaced but it is not a major issue. If I need to replace other window motors in my vehicle I would definitely use this company's products.
