Designed to help return a sluggish or stuck front window to normal travel, the Dorman window motor 742-118 is an electric lift motor that drives the window regulator to raise and lower the door glass. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2005-2009 Chevrolet Uplander and 1999-2009 Pontiac Montana, and is cataloged for both the front left and front right positions. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.
A factory motor can fail from damage, fatigue or collision impact. When that happens, this Dorman power window motor is engineered to help bring back original equipment operation.

- Engineered and tested: developed and checked by Dorman as a solution for a failed factory motor.
- Durable construction: built to strict specifications for dependable performance.
