Detailed Description

CARDONE remanufactured window lift motors are built from original equipment cores and returned to service after a full inspection and rebuild process. The motor is assembled with the correct lubricant amount to support quiet operation and long service life, and the output signals and pulse counts are matched for applications with auto up/down features. Part number 42-1029 is a practical replacement for a worn or failed Chevrolet HHR window motor when the original unit no longer raises or lowers the glass correctly.

Fits 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, front right. Fits 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, rear left. This part cross-references Chevrolet 15211268 for the same application.

What It Fixes

• Window glass that will not move up or down
• Slow, weak, or intermittent window operation
• Grinding, binding, or noisy motor operation
• Loss of power window function at the front right or rear left position
• Auto-up or auto-down operation that no longer completes the cycle

Installation Notes

Install the motor with the regulator fully coupled before operating it. Do not bench-test an express-up or anti-pinch motor before installation, since doing so can cancel the upper limit position and require a reset. If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, travel limits must be set according to the service procedure after installation if the motor was disturbed from its factory position. Verify wiring, switch function, and regulator condition before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE remanufactured window lift motor is tested for speed and strength, and critical internal parts are inspected and renewed during the remanufacturing process. The brand’s process is designed to return an OE-style part to service with consistent performance and fit for the Chevrolet HHR application.
