Detailed description

CARDONE 42-1061 is a remanufactured window lift motor engineered from Original Equipment cores and restored to OE-level function. The motor is assembled with the correct lubricant amount, inspected for internal wear, and tested under load so the output matches the demands of the window regulator system. For vehicles such as the Buick Lucerne, Chevrolet Cobalt, and Pontiac G5, this part supports reliable front right or rear right window operation where the original motor has failed or weakened.

This part cross-references Buick 10393892 and Chevrolet 89044608 for the same application.

Common issues this part can address

• Window glass moves slowly or stops before reaching full travel
• Motor runs but the window does not move consistently
• Intermittent front right or rear right power window operation
• Noisy or rough window movement caused by a worn motor assembly
• Loss of strength from a fatigued OE window lift motor

• Verify part number and physical configuration before installation, especially on vehicles with anti-pinch or express-up features.

Quality assurance

Each motor is 100% tested, including load testing on a simulated window fixture. Internal gears are inspected and renewed or replaced when out of specification, bushings are gauged and re-impregnated with lubricating oil, ball bearings are replaced as needed, and armatures are tested for insulation integrity. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
