      Compare part numbers. If the part number for the motor is the same for front and rear, then it's the same part.

      It's a pain in the ass to just replace the motor, though. Aftermarket regulators come with the motor already installed. Makes life much easier.

        no. the part numbers and designs for the front and rears are completely different. of all the windows it's usually the front driver side that goes first. i just had to replace the regulator on my front driver side recently.

          The regulators are definitely different part numbers, but the motors themselves are as well?

            yeah, they are physically different. maybe the internals may be the same but the motor housings are designed front and rear to be mounted to their complementary regulators.

              the rear motors cannot be replaced by themselves it comes with the regulator attached so the answer would be NO
              i know you don't want to replace the motors for the rear but they cannot be separated from the regulator so they cannot be moved to the front




              see how the motor is attached to the assembly

              now look at the front,





              the motor and regulator are two different pieces

                Oh yeah, I completely forgot the rear regulators were so simple! The last time I worked on one of those was 2003...

                  well despite it being a part of the regulator assembly i have on several occasions at my local "pick your part" come across many regulators with motors removed. in some cases it looks as though they were pryed off until the welds broke (in the case that they are welded on). maybe it's cheaper than buying the entire part.
