Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements that begin with original equipment cores and are rebuilt to restore factory fit and function. This approach helps maintain the correct mounting, regulator interface, and output characteristics needed for vehicles such as the Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Saturn SC1, SC2, SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2. Part number 42-157 is built for rear left, front right, rear right, and front left locations depending on application.

This part cross-references Chevrolet and Saturn OE numbers, including 10262152 and 16636590, for the same application.
