SiriusBlack Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hey all. I am repairing the door to an 87 XT coupe, and it is missing it's window motor. I have already checked Rock Auto for a new one and they don't have it. So my question is, does anyone know if a different window motor will work for this door? Thanks in advance.

DaveT Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 There is a chance it was the same as a regular GL model from those years, or a Loyale. But this is only a guess. It's unlikely anyone sells aftermarket parts for this. The ones in the wagons do not fail often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockAuto has the Right side window motor, so I guess you need the Left side. I looked at RockAuto ( "interior, window motor" ) and found that other models use a different part number for the motor. The XT 85-91 use the same Cardone 474108 (left front) part number. Look at the images and you will see the difference. If your local junk yard uses Hollander reference books, they might be able to tell if another OEM used the same window motor. Here is a LINK to Hollander Parts dot com. I used your zip code 68333 to search for the left front window motor. Looks like there are none listed close to you, but a lot of them will ship. You will have to call each one to see if they still have the window motor, because some yards forget to remove the listing after they sell the part or scrap the car. I have run into that, but eventually find what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusBlack Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 I found several motors on eBay, but it's missing the regulator too. Anyone know if the regulators from the other 80s models will work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Can you get the part #? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusBlack Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 Not sure, like I said when I started work on this door it was missing these parts. I can try to check my shop manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Maybe search by part number and the words "window regulator". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmleggy97 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 There is a XT and XT4/6 in the Oregon pick an pull just a heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusBlack Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 I have the regulator from an 87.5 parts XT. It's not good either, the cable is all kinds of mangled. Anyone know of a gear/linkage type that will fit instead? Not a big fan of the cable types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2k Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 My '86 Turbo is also missing the regulator. I bought one of ebay, but without the original one to reference I can't tell if it is the correct one or not. I also have a tangled cable mess.

SiriusBlack Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 I got my regulator sorted out today. I took the regulator and cable reel from the driver's side of the parts car. Then I swapped in the cable from the passenger side. Had to cobble together a new plastic cable guide. Made it out of a piece of scrap I had around, used to be a 90 degree pipe attachment of some sort. I'd post pics but the damn limit is saying mine are too big.
