So my drivers side window motor, on my 2003, went out for the fourth time the other day. I called about 6 dealerships to get the part number/price for this unit.

My dilemma is that I am getting 2 different part numbers for my car. Half of the dealerships are giving me the factory part number, and half are giving me the newer revised part number. Both are saying I should go with this one or that one. Any advice on this and/or opinions?

Factory 80731-JL00A
Revised 80731-CD00A

I have been told I need to stick with the factory part number, and I have been told that there is a reason to go with the revised. The revised makes sense, but the factory one can be found on amazon for $155.

 

go to local parts store, get a re-manufactured one and call it a day.....

 

And this is why this will be my fourth window motor. Did that the past 3 times and each one lasted about a year. Theres a reason why the OEM lasted 8 years, then the local parts store ones lasted about a year.

 

i have friends that have had them for years with no problems... guess it is hit or miss

 

Weird, they all have crapped on me within a year. Amazon has a OEM one for $150.

 

i just had mine replaced under extended warranty and cost me $50, that is the only reason i let the dealer do it.. otherwise i would have gotten one from autozone

 

Buy $2 brushes and change yourself? Otherwise I got mine off ebay refurbed for like $60?

 

Decided to buy this, has a 10 year warranty, $100, and very good feedback rating.
