Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line focuses on remanufactured OE-style replacements that begin with original equipment cores and are rebuilt to match factory performance. Part number 47-2038 is a front right window motor for 1999-2001 Volkswagen Jetta and 2000-2001 Volkswagen Golf applications. For vehicles with auto up/down operation, output signals and pulse counts are matched to the application, and the motor ships in the full up position.

This part cross-references Volkswagen 1J1959802C and 1J1959802D for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Window glass that moves slowly or stops before reaching the top or bottom
  • Intermittent front right power window operation
  • Motor noise, binding, or weak lifting force
  • Failure of the original window lift motor after wear or electrical fatigue
  • Inconsistent auto up/down function on equipped vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s front right application before installation. This motor uses a through-hole mounting style with 3 mounting holes and 29 wires. The package includes the window lift motor and an instruction sheet. Regulator is not included, so inspect the existing regulator, guides, and glass tracks for wear before reassembly.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured window lift motor is tested, inspected, and renewed to meet OE performance expectations. The remanufacturing process also reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by up to 80%, supporting a more resource-efficient repair choice.
