Detailed Description

CARDONE 42-1060 is a remanufactured window lift motor engineered from an Original Equipment core and renewed to meet factory-style performance expectations. It is built for front left and rear left applications where listed, including 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne front left and rear left, 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt front left, 2010 Pontiac G5 front left, 2008-2009 Pontiac G5 front left, 2006 Pontiac G4 front left, and 2006 Pontiac Pursuit front left. This part cross-references Buick 10393893 and 15929736, and Chevrolet 89044609 for the same application.

Each unit is assembled with the correct lubricant, inspected for internal wear, and tested for output under load. For vehicles with auto up/down or anti-pinch systems, the motor is shipped in the full-up position and should remain undisturbed until installed and coupled to the regulator. Part number 42-1060 is built to work with the factory mounting and regulator arrangement in the specified Buick Lucerne, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Pontiac G5 applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak window movement
• Window motor failure on the front left or rear left door
• Intermittent operation caused by worn internal motor components
• Noisy operation related to worn gears or bearings
• Loss of proper window travel in supported power window systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the part number and inspect the original motor before installation, especially when replacing outside the vehicle.
• Do not bench-test or operate an express-up motor before it is coupled to the regulator, or travel limits may need to be reset.
• If the vehicle uses an anti-pinch system, follow the service manual procedure for initialization or travel-limit setting after installation.
• Check the regulator, tracks, weather-strip, switch contacts, and wiring if the window still binds or runs inconsistently.
• Confirm the motor’s 2-wire electrical design matches the vehicle’s control strategy before installation.

Quality Assurance

Every CARDONE remanufactured window lift motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal gears are inspected and renewed, bushings are gauged and re-impregnated with oil, ball bearings are replaced as needed, and armatures are tested for insulation integrity. The remanufacturing process is designed to restore reliable operation while reducing energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
