Replacement Details

Part number 742-164 is built for Cadillac STS models from 2005 through 2011 and is intended for right-side window motor replacement at either the front or rear door position. This Dorman 742-164 window motor cross-references Cardone Reman 42-1081 for the same application. It is a practical choice when the original power window motor has slowed down, stopped responding, or no longer moves the glass consistently.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

  • Window glass that will not move up or down
  • Slow or intermittent power window operation
  • Motor noise without glass movement
  • Loss of power window function on the right side
  • Wear-related failure in the original lift motor

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle position before ordering: this part fits the front right and rear right locations on the Cadillac STS. Confirm the connector style matches the plug-in design and inspect the regulator and window lift gear for wear before installation. Because the regulator and mounting hardware are not included, reuse or replace related components as needed during service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this replacement motor to match original equipment fit and performance for the listed Cadillac STS applications. The part number 742-164 is engineered as a direct-fit solution for restoring normal power window function.
