echosierra3 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The front window regulator on Deville has failed and am about to order a replacement. Is there any company that offers a quality/upgraded part that has improved or redesigned so that it doesn't break again? Guess I'm looking for the best quality part to replace the OEM one. Or has Delco changed out the crappy plastic part for a more durable piece? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I think they are all the same. You might try a cheap, but effective and permanent fix. http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/cadillac-tech-tips/70894-deville-window-regulator-motor-repair-howto.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAUL T Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I used the cotter pin method on my father-in-laws 04 Deville rear passenger window and it is working great. Check out the thread on the other forum above. It just cost my time because we just found some cotter pins my father-in-law had laying around. We also used a clamp on sinker to use as a spacer where the plastic tab broke. I have read many horror stories about this problem. Fixes that cost up to $400 and people complaining that is should be a recall. It seems like we have a lot of new threads on the subject after I posted mine. If you own a 2000 & up Caddy be prepared for this fix because it is only a matter of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjaab Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Check any full size GM truck forum ! Same issue with the window regulator/motor assembly failure (aka the cheap plastic band that breaks). For the GM truck a Delco replacement was almost $200 bucks ! The cheap china knockoffs for less than $50 ! I have replaced several and the china specials have lasted as long as the Delco OEMs! I wonder if the Delcos for the DTS/Deville crossreference with the fullsize GM trucks??? Anybody got a crossreference book? 93 DeVille-13 Chevy Impala 72 GTO - 77 Triumph Bonneville 84 Z-28 Syracuse NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Look up the part at acdelco.com. They have a cross reference chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
