Product Details

Cardone’s Power Window Motor and Regulator Assembly line is designed as a complete replacement solution for failed window lift systems. When the regulator begins to bind or wear, it can place extra load on the motor and lead to premature burnout. Replacing the assembly helps address both components at once and supports proper window operation. This Cardone 82-173AR assembly is a direct-fit option for the rear right position on Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles from 1997 through 2003.

This part cross-references Pontiac 10321731 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear window moves slowly or stops before reaching full travel.
• Window motor runs but the glass does not move.
• Grinding, binding, or uneven window movement.
• Intermittent operation caused by worn regulator components.
• Premature motor failure from excess load in the lift system.

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1997-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, rear right. Verify the mounting style, connector, and door configuration against the original unit before installation. The package includes the window lift motor with regulator and an instruction sheet. Because the regulator and motor are serviced together, this assembly is often used when the original lift mechanism shows wear or failure.

Quality Assurance

Cardone states that this assembly is engineered to meet or exceed OEM performance. Each motor is load tested, and the gear design uses stronger materials than original equipment to help reduce premature wear. The product is new and built for reliable operation in the listed application.
