OEM V/S AFTERMARKET

We receive many inquiries about Aftermarket and OEM.
Why are the prices so different?
What is the difference between the two?
The prices are different mainly because the aftermarket items do not have a brand to support, such as GM. The dealer has to support his stockholders.
In many instances the aftermarket suppliers are the same factories that supplied the OEM parts to the original car manfactures. Not always.
The aftermarket companies will not tool a part they cannot recoup their investment from.
With that in mind, an aftermarket part may not be available for a part that does not fail on a large scale.
We stand behind All of our Replacement Aftermarket parts with a one year warranty.
All of our parts are NEW, not rebuilt, no core deposit hassles.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Rear Window Regulator / Motor

Jeep Grand Cherokee Window Regulator
If you are the owner of a Jeep Grand Cherokee you are probably aware of the issues with the window regulators, front and rear.
1999-2000* Grand Cherokee window regulators with motor are available as an aftermarket item. Front and Rear
*2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Built Before March 9, 2000
2001-2004 Grand Cherokee window regulators with motor are available as an aftermarket item. Front
The Rear regulators for the 2001-2004 model years are not available as an aftermarket item at this time. However, the rear regulators for the 1999-2000* will fit and function on the 2001-2004 models. The only difference is the bolt hole pattern where the regulator mounts to the door. This is a simple process. The mounting plate is easily (3 bolts) removed to modify the bolt pattern and re-assemble. Depending on your model year, you may need to re-drill 1 or 2 bolt holes.
UPDATE JUNE 2008
The REAR Window regulators are now available as an aftermarket item.
2001-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
No modification necessary.
Direct bolt on and plug in.
