Manual Window Regulator 8970955320 8-97095-532-0 For ISUZU TFR TFS KB140 Chevrolet LUV Honda Passport (1988–2002) — Front Left (LH), Manual Crank, OEM-Spec, 6-Month Warranty

The Manual Window Regulator with OEM references 8970955320 / 8-97095-532-0 is a verified direct-fit replacement for the front left (LH) door of the ISUZU TFR / TFS / KB140 pickup and its cross-brand siblings, the Chevrolet LUV and Honda Passport, covering the 1988–2002 production span. This is a manual-crank window regulator (non-powered), not an electric/power unit — it uses a hand crank to raise and lower the door glass.

The regulator is the mechanical linkage that supports the window glass and translates the rotary motion of the window crank into vertical glass travel. It is cataloged under the factory number 8-97095532-1, with engine association to the 4JA1 (2.5L diesel) and material origin described as China aftermarket, while also being cross-listed with Taiwan-produced options in the broader supply chain. Reference actual dimensions are 56 × 54 × 5 cm, with a 6-month quality guarantee.

• Window crank spins without moving the glass: The most common failure — the sector gear teeth are stripped or the lifting arm has disengaged from the glass carrier, so the crank rotates freely but the window stays in place.
• Window glass drops suddenly or will not stay up: A worn or broken lifting arm or regulator pivot allows the glass to fall into the door under its own weight.
• Grinding or clicking noise when cranking: Worn gear teeth or a dry/binding pivot produces audible mechanical noise during operation.
• Stiff or jammed crank operation: Corrosion, lack of lubrication, or a bent guide rail increases cranking effort to the point of binding.
• Window tracks crooked or binds in the run channel: A bent regulator arm or worn guide roller causes the glass to tilt and stick as it travels up or down.
• Visible broken or missing regulator components: Cracked plastic guides, missing rollers, or a bent sector gear require replacement of the regulator assembly.

• Manual only: This is the manual crank regulator. The electric/power window regulator for the same TFR platform uses a different part number (e.g., 8-97165800-2 for front left electric) and includes a motor and wiring interface. Do not order this part for a power-window vehicle.
• Front Left only: This is the front left door regulator. The front right manual uses 8-97095531-2. Rear door regulators (e.g., 8-97105000-1 left rear electric, 8-97104998-1 right rear) are not interchangeable.
• Cross-brand coverage: The same regulator is referenced for Chevrolet LUV and Honda Passport (via Honda OE 8-97095-532-3), making it a cross-brand SKU for distributors serving ISUZU, Chevrolet, and Honda light truck populations.
• Year boundary: The platform spans 1988–2002. Confirm the vehicle's exact year and VIN before ordering, especially for transitional years that may use a superseded regulator.

1. Confirm the required part first: Verify that the original regulator is manual (crank, no motor) and is the front left unit. Compare the crank provision and guide arm layout to the replacement.
2. Remove the door trim panel: Use a plastic trim tool to release the perimeter clips. Remove the manual window crank handle (retaining screw or clip).
3. Remove the water shield / moisture barrier: Carefully peel back the plastic moisture barrier to access the regulator mechanism. Do not tear it — it must be reseated during reassembly.
4. Remove the glass: Lower the window until the glass-to-regulator attachment bolts are visible. Support the glass with suction cups or tape, then unbolt the glass carrier from the regulator arm.
5. Remove the old regulator: Unbolt the regulator from the door inner panel. Guide the regulator arm out through the largest access opening.
6. Install the new regulator: Position the 8970955320 / 8-97095-532-0 regulator in the door and secure the mounting bolts. Do not fully tighten until the glass is aligned.
7. Reattach the glass: Bolt the glass carrier to the new regulator arm. Check glass alignment in the run channel before final tightening.
8. Test operation: Crank the window through its full travel range. Confirm smooth operation, correct glass tracking, and no binding or unusual noise.
9. Reseal the moisture barrier and reinstall trim: Reseat the moisture barrier with butyl tape or sealant. Reinstall the door trim panel and crank handle.
10. Road test: Drive the vehicle and listen for rattles or wind noise from the door. Verify that the window remains in position over bumps.

• Lubricate the regulator mechanism (sector gear and pivot points) every 1–2 years or if crank effort increases — use a white lithium grease or silicone lubricant compatible with plastic and metal.
• Inspect the window run channel for dirt or hardening — a dry or dirty channel increases regulator load and accelerates wear.
• Avoid forcing the crank if the window binds — forcing can strip the sector gear or bend the lifting arm.
• Check the glass carrier bolts for tightness if the window rattles or tilts during operation.

• Standard packing: Polybag or box; solid box + master carton available. Packaging dimensions: 55 × 45 × 0.1 cm (reference).
