Not sure what the difference is but get the first one! thats what i got and make sure to get this to help you remove the black metalic part for the old motor..The rear door actuators are PITA to get to but NOT impossible ( i heard)

rear's are a pain, but have someone open the handle from the outside when removing and reinstalling. This gives enough clearance.

the rears seem way easier than fronts. its just that 1 10mm screw that screws with you.

anyways, i got all my doors done and they work great. im happy to use my remote now!

Do not get the motors with the collars on them already. They will not work.

my freaking driver's side rear is starting to get very lazy. Just noticed that these motors are now $20?? Wow the prices have gone up a lot since the last time I looked at this. A brand new rear actuator is around $75 bucks.

Based on the thread, people were paying around $3-5 when this issues first started. Now it's $20 for the set lol. Yeah I think I may try this, buy my hands are huge so I think that I will struggle with the back actuator.
