Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this same part through Amazon (National Auto Part) and received it today. Installed it uneventfully, lowered the window for the first time and "pop"! The lower clasp was not installed on the regulator fully straight from the factory causing the clasp to dislodge and the cable to get sucked into the spool. Once in the spool, the cable kinked inside without the needed tension and jammed the motor. This is not something a consumer would recognize, as it should have been manufactured correctly from the factory.
I uninstalled it, took it all apart, figured out what happened, fixed it best I could (the cable cannot be fully straightened after being kinked like that) and re-assembled it, this time ensuring the clasp and all other parts were fully installed. I then put it back in the door, hooked everything back up and ran the window full up and down a number of times.
Now I am attempting to contact National Auto Part for a replacement since this one will eventually fail again, seeing as the cable is partially kinked inside the spool. It's only a matter of time.
If you purchase this item, look at the lower clasp (one side has the pully, the other the clasp) and ensure it is fully installed to where the tiny plastic nub is fully seated in the metal hole (located next to the rubber stopper). This allows the tension to remain as the cable winds around that corner.
I'll post again when I hear back from the company about replacement parts.
