Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor line is built as an updated replacement for worn factory window motors. The 82-126 uses a stronger gear material and controlled lubrication to support quiet, consistent operation while helping the motor handle resistance from aging window regulators, tracks, and seals. This makes it a practical choice for drivers searching for a front left or front right power window motor for a 1990s Buick Regal, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Chevrolet Lumina, or Pontiac Grand Prix.

This part cross-references Cadillac 22138764 and Oldsmobile 22087325 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Window moves slowly or stops before reaching the top or bottom
• Motor runs but the glass does not move consistently
• Grinding, clicking, or stripped-gear noise from the door
• Intermittent window operation caused by a worn motor
• Loss of torque in cold weather or under added window load

Installation Notes and Tips

• Compatible With front left and front right positions only for the listed vehicles
• Includes the original connector on the confirmed applications
• Regulator is not included, so inspect the window regulator, guides, and tracks before installation
• Verify door-side fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering
• Use the supplied instruction sheet during installation

Quality Assurance

Each motor is load tested to confirm performance, and the design uses upgraded gear material to improve durability over the original-style component. Cardone’s engineering approach for the 82-126 focuses on fit, function, and long-term operation in real-world window lift systems.
