This window motor from Dorman is engineered specifically for Honda Civic vehicles, providing a direct replacement for the factory motor.

Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify that the existing window regulator is in good condition since this motor does not include a regulator. The plug-in connector simplifies electrical hookup, but ensure the vehicle’s wiring harness is intact and free of corrosion. Reuse original mounting hardware to secure the motor. Test window operation before reassembling door panels to confirm proper function.
