Kia Sportage Window Motors and Parts

The Kia Sportage is a vehicle manufactured by Kia in three door convertible and five door compact SUV body styles. With Kia introducing two body styles going through four generations over a production run that began in 1993, the Sportage vehicle has had many window motor variations. If you’re looking for a Kia Sportage window motor replacement, there are window motors, regulators, and other parts and accessories that can fit your Sportage.

What is a window motor?

The window motor is a geared electric motor inside the doors of your Kia Sportage that provides the force needed to raise and lower the window of that door at the operation of a switch. This happens either on the inside door of the window or on the inside door next to the vehicle drivers seat.

When should the Kia Sportage window motor be replaced?

Window motors on the Kia are reliable auto parts but may wear out or become damaged. If a vehicle window motor fails on your Kia, the window will either not move at all or move very slowly or erratically. The window motor on your Kia Sportage is a sealed unit to ensure reliability. Because it is a sealed unit, however, when it breaks down the mechanic replaces the entire unit. If the problem on your Kia Sportage is the window motor and not the regulator, then the window regulator may not need to be replaced at the same time as the motor.

What is a window regulator?

Window regulators are required parts and not accessories. A window regulator is a mechanical device that is inside the door of your Kia Sportage and transfers power from the window motor to the window. In your Sportage, a window regulator consists of several parts, including a carriage and track. The carriage moves the window along the track when the window is being raised and lowered. Both manual and power window setups on vehicles have window regulators. In many cases, the window regulator and motor are treated as a parts assembly. The Kia Sportage uses a cable-type window regulator.

What are signs that the Kia window regulator needs replacement?

A failing window regulator on your Sportage may cause the window to not move at all. In other cases, a loud noise will occur when the window is moving or the window moves slower than usual, as if it pushing against a restraining force. If a window on your Sportage is misaligned, tilted, failing to completely open or close, then a bad window regulator is likely the problem.

As always with KIA Sportage parts and accessories, whether ordering a window motor or window regulator, be sure to verify that the applicability of the auto window motor parts you select matches the make, model, and year for your KIA Sportage.
