KIA SORENTO 5-DOOR REAR LEFT WINDOW REGULATOR & MOTOR
Rear Left / UK Nearside Rear / NSR
READ THIS BEFORE ORDERING - FITMENT IS CRITICAL
KIA SORENTO I / BL 5-DOOR - REAR LEFT POWER WINDOW - PRODUCTION FROM 01/04/2003 THROUGH 2008 CATALOG COVERAGE.
Buyer-specific compatibility must still be checked using the 17-character VIN, the old motor label, electrical connector and regulator mounting geometry. Do not order from registration year alone.
This listing has been built around the physical evidence visible on the actual part. The motor label photographed on this assembly shows 83450-3E000, supplier code XH602PA and DC 12V. The regulator itself carries the donor marking "SORENTO 2003 NSR".
In UK right-hand-drive terminology, NSR means nearside rear, which is the rear-left passenger door. For international buyers, always use the physical description REAR LEFT rather than "passenger side", because a left-hand-drive vehicle has its driver on the left.
Catalog data shows production revisions around April 2003. Vehicles built before 01/04/2003 require VIN and old-unit confirmation before purchase.
ACTUAL ITEM - VISUAL FITMENT EVIDENCE
Actual item. Complete rear-left regulator and motor assembly. Compare the rail, arms, spring, mounting locations and connector with your old unit.
Primary identification photograph. Label visibly shows 83450-3E000, XH602PA and DC 12V.
Donor identification. Hand marking reads SORENTO 2003 NSR. Production date still requires VIN confirmation because 2003 contained part revisions.
PART IDENTIFICATION & CROSS-REFERENCE DATA
CORRECT VEHICLE BODY STYLE - REFERENCE PHOTOS
These photographs are reference vehicles, not the donor vehicle. They are included so you can identify the correct first-generation 5-door Sorento body. The part in this listing fits inside the REAR-LEFT DOOR.
2004 UK 5-door Sorento BL reference. Visible side is the vehicle's left side. The regulator is fitted behind the interior trim of the rear door shown toward the back of the vehicle.
2007-2008 5-door Sorento BL reference. Rear-left quarter view showing the rear-left door/window position.
Reference images are illustrative vehicle-identification photographs. Trim, engine, colour, wheels and specification may differ from your vehicle. Exterior appearance alone is never the final fitment check.
DETAILED COMPATIBILITY CHART
| Vehicle | Year / Production | Body | Position | Status / Required Check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2003 - built from 01/04/2003 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | CATALOG PERIOD SUPPORTED - VIN + old 83450-3E000 label and geometry confirmation required |
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2004 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | SUPPORTED - verify VIN + photographed motor number/connector/geometry |
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2005 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | SUPPORTED - verify VIN + photographed motor number/connector/geometry |
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2006 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | SUPPORTED - verify VIN + photographed motor number/connector/geometry |
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2007 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | SUPPORTED - verify VIN + photographed motor number/connector/geometry |
| Kia Sorento I / BL | 2008 | 5-door | Rear Left / NSR | SUPPORTED - verify VIN + photographed motor number/connector/geometry |
| Kia Sorento first-generation / transition registration | 2009 | 5-door | Rear Left | VIN CHECK ONLY - catalog sources conflict on the complete regulator assembly. Do not purchase solely because the vehicle is registered in 2009. |
Petrol and diesel Sorento variants exist across different markets. The correct method is VIN + old component number + connector + mounting geometry.
Registration year can differ from production date. A vehicle first registered in one year may have been manufactured during an earlier production period. This is why we ask buyers to verify the VIN and old component rather than relying only on registration year or a generic compatibility selector.
WHAT THIS PART WILL NOT FIT / DO NOT ORDER IF
| Application | Fitment | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Sorento built before 01/04/2003 | NOT CONFIRMED | Earlier production regulator revisions exist. VIN/old assembly must be checked. |
| Rear-right door | NO | This listing is the physical rear-left assembly. |
| Front-left or front-right door | NO | Front regulators use different assemblies. |
| Later Sorento generation / XM-type body | NO ON THIS EVIDENCE | This listing is for the first-generation Sorento door/regulator architecture. |
| Kia Sedona complete regulator assembly | DO NOT ASSUME | The 83450-3E000 MOTOR has catalog cross-use on a Sedona application, but that does not establish compatibility of the complete Sorento regulator frame. |
| Vehicle with different motor label / plug / rail / mounting points | NO | Physical and electrical mismatch indicates a different application. |
Although 83450-3E000 has another catalog motor application, no additional vehicle is being advertised here as a confirmed fit for the COMPLETE regulator-and-motor assembly.
THEPARTPILOT CORRECT-PART CHECK
Our aim is simple: help you order the correct part the first time and reduce unnecessary returns. For the strongest fitment check, compare all of the following:
- VIN: provide the complete 17-character vehicle VIN through eBay Messages for vehicle-specific catalog checking.
- Old motor label: compare the number with 83450-3E000.
- Supplier code: compare XH602PA where visible.
- Electrical connector: plug shape, pin arrangement and connector orientation must match your original.
- Regulator geometry: compare mounting holes, arm/rail arrangement, spring location and glass attachment points with the actual listing photographs.
- Physical position: confirm you require REAR LEFT / UK NSR rather than rear right or either front door.
Send your VIN and clear photographs of the existing regulator/motor label, electrical plug and complete mechanism through eBay Messages before ordering.
WHERE IS THIS PART FITTED & WHAT DOES IT DO?
The regulator and motor assembly is installed inside the rear-left door, behind the interior door trim panel and moisture barrier.
When the rear-left electric window switch is operated, the 12V electric motor drives the regulator mechanism. The regulator transfers that motor movement into controlled vertical movement of the door glass, allowing the rear-left window to raise and lower.
The mechanism also supports and guides the glass through its travel. Correct regulator geometry is therefore essential: the wrong unit may have different mounting points, glass attachment positions, electrical connections or travel.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF A FAILED WINDOW MOTOR / REGULATOR
- Rear-left window does not move when the switch is pressed.
- Window movement is unusually slow or intermittent.
- Motor can be heard running but the glass does not rise or lower correctly.
- Grinding, clicking or mechanical knocking from inside the door.
- Window glass tilts, catches or travels unevenly.
- Glass drops unexpectedly inside the door.
- Window remains stuck fully or partly open.
- Window remains stuck closed.
- Regulator arms, pivots, guides or gear mechanism have excessive wear or damage.
A faulty switch, fuse, wiring loom, damaged connector, power supply issue or poor earth can sometimes produce similar symptoms. Diagnose the electrical supply before replacing a working regulator.
WHY CHOOSE AN ORIGINAL FACTORY-SPEC USED COMPONENT?
Known Factory Geometry
When the part number and application match, an original factory-spec component provides the mounting pattern, connector arrangement, regulator travel and motor gearing designed around that vehicle application.
Reduced Pattern-Part Uncertainty
Low-cost pattern alternatives can vary by manufacturer and revision. Matching the photographed original part number and physical assembly removes one major source of fitment uncertainty.
Used-Part Value
Buying a serviceable used component can cost substantially less than buying an equivalent new component. On selected parts, savings may reach approximately 70% compared with current new retail pricing; actual savings vary by part, availability and current new-part price and are not guaranteed.
Reuse Instead of Disposal
Reusing a serviceable vehicle component extends its useful life and can reduce demand for a replacement component to be manufactured, packaged and transported.
As with any used mechanical component, previous service life must be considered. Inspect the exact photographs and listing condition before purchase.
FITTING OVERVIEW
Typical Tools Required
- Plastic interior trim-removal tools.
- Phillips/cross-head screwdriver as applicable to trim fasteners.
- 10 mm socket, ratchet and extension for typical regulator/door fasteners.
- Suitable tools for any additional fastener types found on your exact vehicle.
- Masking tape or appropriate glass support/suction equipment.
- Small pick or suitable tool for electrical-connector locking tabs.
- Protective gloves and eye protection.
- Multimeter or automotive test light for electrical diagnosis if required.
General Replacement Sequence
- Park safely, switch the ignition off and follow the vehicle's appropriate battery-isolation procedure.
- Remove the rear-left interior door handle trim, switch trim and door-card fasteners.
- Carefully release the door trim panel and disconnect its electrical plugs/cables as applicable.
- Peel back the moisture barrier carefully so it can be resealed correctly.
- Position and securely support the window glass before releasing it from the regulator. Never rely on the failed mechanism to hold the glass.
- Disconnect the window-motor electrical connector.
- Remove the glass-to-regulator fasteners and regulator/motor mounting fasteners as applicable.
- Keep fingers and hands clear of spring-loaded and moving regulator sections.
- Remove the old assembly through the door access opening.
- Before installation, place the old and replacement units side-by-side. Compare 83450-3E000 identification, electrical connector, mounting holes, arm/rail geometry and glass mounting positions.
- Install the replacement assembly and correctly support/attach the glass.
- Reconnect the motor and carefully test window travel with hands, tools and loose trim kept clear of the mechanism.
- Confirm smooth full movement before resealing the moisture barrier and refitting the door trim.
- Carry out any vehicle-specific window initialisation procedure only if required by the appropriate workshop information for that VIN.
ESTIMATED REPAIR TIME & GARAGE LABOUR COST
Planning estimate: approximately 1.0 to 1.5 labour hours for a straightforward regulator/motor replacement by a suitably equipped technician. This is an estimate rather than a manufacturer flat-rate time.
Corroded fasteners, damaged trim, seized glass attachments, wiring faults, diagnosis or previous repairs can increase the time required.
Estimated labour cost = Garage hourly rate x approximately 1.0 to 1.5 hours. A live JavaScript calculator is intentionally not used because active content is not permitted on eBay.
| Garage Rate | 1.0 Hour | 1.5 Hours | Estimated Labour Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| £40/hour | £40 | £60 | £40 - £60 |
| £50/hour | £50 | £75 | £50 - £75 |
| £60/hour | £60 | £90 | £60 - £90 |
| £75/hour | £75 | £112.50 | £75 - £112.50 |
| £90/hour | £90 | £135 | £90 - £135 |
| £100/hour | £100 | £150 | £100 - £150 |
| £120/hour | £120 | £180 | £120 - £180 |

The phrase "international delivery" is used rather than promising delivery to every country in the world. The availability and final international charge shown by eBay at checkout are the controlling information.
IMPORTANT - CHECK YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS BEFORE PAYMENT
We cannot simply redirect an order to a different delivery address after purchase. If the address is incorrect, the appropriate eBay order process may require cancellation and repurchase where permitted. Check the recipient name, house/building number, street, postcode and country before completing payment.
FITMENT, RETURNS & CONDITION
We provide extensive part-number photographs, physical-position information, compatibility guidance and a VIN-check route specifically to help prevent incorrect orders.
Please perform the fitment checks before installation. A regulator that has been installed, electrically powered, altered, dismantled or damaged may no longer be in the same condition in which it was supplied.
Where eBay policy and seller eligibility permit, a deduction may be made for actual diminished value when an item is returned in a different condition - for example used, fitted, altered, incomplete or damaged. This is not an automatic restocking charge.
If you believe the supplied item differs from the listing, please use the normal eBay resolution process and provide clear photographs where appropriate.
VAT / GLOBAL ACCOUNTING
Where this eligible second-hand item is sold under the VAT Global Accounting / Margin Scheme, VAT is accounted for under the applicable margin-scheme rules.
VAT is not separately itemised or reclaimable on the invoice for a qualifying Global Accounting sale.
This wording avoids incorrectly describing a margin-scheme transaction as a transaction on which no VAT exists.
SUPPORTING A LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS & REUSING SERVICEABLE PARTS
Thank you for considering ThePartPilot. Purchasing from an independent vehicle-parts business supports local employment, specialist parts knowledge, stock handling and the work involved in identifying, storing, photographing and dispatching thousands of individual components.
Reusing a serviceable vehicle part also gives an existing component another useful service life. Instead of automatically discarding a usable component and replacing it with newly manufactured stock, used-part reuse can help reduce unnecessary material consumption, packaging and waste.
We believe the best outcome is not simply selling a part - it is supplying the correct part the first time.
