Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the mounting position, connector style, and vehicle design before installation. This WL42032 motor uses a blade terminal connection and reversible rotation, so matching the original electrical and mounting configuration is important for proper operation. Because the regulator is not included, reuse or replace the regulator separately if needed. Verify fitment by year, make, model, position, and design notes such as 1st design applications where listed.

Continental manufactures these window lift motors in ISO TS certified facilities and builds them to provide original-equipment-style performance and durability. The WL42032 is intended to restore window function with a direct-fit replacement approach.
