Default Window regulator replacement options

I am replacing the passenger side window regulator and have two suppliers in mind - Dorman and URO. What is the experience with these two suppliers for this product?

Go for the cheapest if you are a DIY man. They are probably the same part anyway. Dorman is the cheapest place for parts. $192 for the part you are looking for. No brainer.

Not exactly same model but great video here on how to DIY.

I recently did my drivers side window regulator. Replaced with a Porsche window regulator for $283. I figured if the original one worked for 14 years on my DD, it was worth the price to get OE. Excellent fit and no drama. Make sure you mark the locations of the bottom brackets before removal. Made my job a cinch in realigning the glass.

Thanks, guys. I bought the Dorman and works great. Video was a great help to get the new one lined up without any adjustment after install.
