Cardone 82-158CR Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly - Front Right

Cardone Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly

Restore front right window operation with the Cardone 82-158CR power window motor and regulator assembly. This new assembly is built for Saturn SL, SL1, SL2, SW1, and SW2 models with a front right application, giving you a direct replacement for a failed window lift system.

Cardone engineered this window motor and regulator assembly to address a common failure point in the window lift system: a worn regulator that can overload the motor. By replacing the motor and regulator together, you reduce repeat failure risk and get a cleaner repair on Saturn SL and SW-series vehicles.

Detailed Description

The Cardone Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly, part number 82-158CR, is designed for direct replacement on 1996-2002 Saturn SL, SL1, and SL2 models, plus 1996-2001 Saturn SW2 and 1996-1999 Saturn SW1 models in the front right position. This assembly combines the motor and regulator into one service part to simplify repair when the original regulator has worn enough to cause slow movement, binding, or motor burnout. It is also a practical replacement for Saturn OE part number 21171230. This part cross-references Saturn 21171230 for the same application.

Cardone’s Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly line focuses on complete window lift repairs with fitment-specific engineering. For Saturn SL and SW-series vehicles, that means a replacement built to match the original mounting style, wiring layout, and operating requirements while improving durability in the gear train and torque delivery.

Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Front right window will not move up or down.
• Window moves slowly, hesitates, or stops partway.
• Grinding, clicking, or binding from the door glass mechanism.
• Motor burnout caused by a worn or failing regulator.
• Uneven or inconsistent window travel on Saturn SL and SW models.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s front right door application before ordering. This assembly uses a 2-wire configuration, 5 mounting holes, and threads/studs mounting type, so matching the original connector and mounting points is important for proper installation. Confirm the regulator path and glass alignment during installation to help prevent premature wear.
