Rear Window Regulator

bigbutz

Does anyone know where I can find a window regulator for the rear passenger side door/window for a 2000 suburban? I've tried all the auto parts stores and online and all I can find are front window regulators and nothing for rear. Ironically I just replaced the drivers side rear regulator/motor a couple months ago and just went to the dealer for that one. Cost was $400+. Trying to avoid the dealer again.

Have you tried a junk yard?

No but I will check. I guess I'm just more curious on why the front regulators are so readily available but the dealers are the only ones who sell the rear regulator.

I suspect the 2nd row windows get substantially less usage than front row (at least they do on my vehicles)....therefore have less oppty to wear out or fail. Could be also that the actual part numbers for the fronts are shared with other models, and hence the re is more movement of inventory.
