Mechanic's tip
The motor and regulator often come as an assembly, which simplifies the repair. Check your fuses first — a blown fuse is a $2 fix. Front windows typically cost a little more because they're used more frequently and the door panels are more complex. Ask about an OEM vs. aftermarket assembly — aftermarket units vary widely in quality.
