Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements that match the original mounting, regulator interface, and performance requirements of the application. Part number 42-146 is engineered for the rear left window on 1991-1995 Saturn SL, 1991-1995 Saturn SL1, 1991-1995 Saturn SL2, 1993-1995 Saturn SW1, and 1993-1995 Saturn SW2. For buyers searching for a rear left power window motor for a Saturn SL or Saturn SW2, this unit provides a direct replacement path without changing the factory regulator design.

Each motor is rebuilt with renewed internal gears, inspected bushings and bearings, and tested output to help ensure proper window speed and lifting strength. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear window will not move up or down
• Slow or weak power window operation
• Intermittent rear left window movement
• Grinding, worn, or noisy motor operation
• Window motor failure after normal wear

Installation Notes

Fits 1991-1995 Saturn SL, rear left; 1991-1995 Saturn SL1, rear left; 1991-1995 Saturn SL2, rear left; 1993-1995 Saturn SW1, rear left; and 1993-1995 Saturn SW2, rear left. The regulator is not included, so inspect the window regulator, tracks, switch, and wiring before installation. If the vehicle uses an auto-up or anti-pinch system, do not bench-test the motor before it is coupled to the regulator; travel limits may need to be set after installation. This part cross-references Saturn 21077583 for the same application.
