This is an 86-91 style hatch motor assembly. These are very often damaged or do not work correctly. This assembly is in excellent working condition and would work great to replace your damaged original. The sliders were just replaced so this motor should work great for a long time. It has the power hatch release on it but can be used without it as well. The connectors styles can vary but you can easily swap them with your existing connector. (Note: If you have a '91 model car you will need to verify this is the style motor you need since the smaller 1992 assembly was also used on some 1991 cars.)
