Rear Hatch Motor Compatibility

I remember reading that there are 2 different motors for 91s, one is good up to a certain VIN # then they started using a different one. Mine **** on me tonight and I found this:

Claims to be for any year, is this legit?

The motor you linked to is good for 1986 to early 91. You need to look at your hatch pull-down unit. If it has a metal frame, then that is the correct motor. I reinforce those same motors and re-sell them on my web site. If yours has a tan molded plastic frame then yours is the second design that was used for 1991-92. That motor won't help you. I sell a few parts for that version as well.
