The Subaru Ascent average ($145) runs 16% above its median ($125), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Our guide covers 9 model years for the GMC Sierra 1500 (2015–2025) but only 2 for the Subaru Ascent (2020–2025), so the GMC Sierra 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used window regulator

  • Distinguish between power and manual regulators, and confirm motor wire connector pin counts (e.g., 2-pin basic vs 6-pin express auto-up/down with anti-pinch).
  • Inspect regulator cables for fraying, rusting, or derailment from plastic pulleys, and check scissor gear teeth for stripping or binding.
  • Check glass attachment clips or mounting clamps to ensure plastic snap tabs aren't brittle or broken.
  • Verify front door vs rear door and left vs right side specific mounting hole patterns, as regulators are non-interchangeable across doors.
