Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and rear right position before installation. Confirm the electrical connector style matches the existing plug-in setup and inspect the regulator and related components for wear before reassembly. Because mounting hardware and the regulator are not included, reuse or replace those parts as needed during the repair.
