Dorman OE Solutions 741-769 Jeep Grand Cherokee Front Passenger Side Power Window Regulator with Motor Review

Dorman OE Solutions 741-769 Jeep Grand Cherokee Front Passenger Side Power Window Regulator with MotorIf you're mechanically inclined, you can remove old unit and install this piece with relative ease.It was a bit aggrevating only because I didn't remember the exact placement of the tail end of the worm gear.It should be placed just under the window track and against the inside door well.There's just enough space for it to pass through the opening.If you leave it outside of this small area, it may interfere with the up and down travel of the glass.

Use masking or painters tape to hold the window glass up while installing the unit, it won't leave tacky residue behind.When it's time to attach the glass to the bracket, CAREFULLY bring the glass down and don't allow one end to fall down further than the other or it will come out of the glass guide in the window part of the door.I did this, glass came out of guide, and I worked a short while getting back into place.

The unit works fine.It's just slower at bringing the window glass up and down.The motor must be smaller than the OEM.I assume this is a cost cutting measure.Dorman did reinforce the area of failure by using metal instead of plastic to attach the window glass bracket to the worm gear.

Price is great, considering that I've seen retailers pushing it for as high as $290 plus!

Chilton Repair Manuals - Chilton Jeep Wrangler/YJ (87 - 95) Repair Manual (40650) Review

Chilton Repair Manuals - Chilton Jeep Wrangler/YJ Repair ManualWhen one buys a repair manual they can usually change a light bulb which is about all this thing seems to be good for.I got this one for three issues on a 90 jeep:
1)how to put the lock cylinder back into a the full height door and have it stay - this manual didn't even show how the door latch was installed correctly.I know about the retaining clip but how do you get to it, I wound up totaly disasembling the door to get at it - an all day job.
2) someone has changed the turn signal switch and messed up the high beam switch push rod in the process - where is it supposed to be and how is it kept in place.This Jeep now has a floor mounted dimmer switch.
3) There is a miss at cruise, ok on aceleration and deceleration I assume it is a carburetion problem - but it has already had the carb replaced and the new one is worse than the old one.
The Hanes manual that came with the Jeep isn't any better either.

2 years later - I have a fuel leak in or around the fuel tank (there is fuel in the skid plate) the "instructions" to remove the fuel tank have no detail.For instance I can see the hose clamps for the filler at the top of the tank through a 1-1/2" wide slot 12" away from the clamps.The clamps are pointed to the rear of the vehical away from the slot.There are no removable panels to access these clamps that I can find, so the "instructions" are to disconnect these hoses before removing the tank - thanks for that bit of insight.
