Hello everyone,

I have a Seat Ibiza 2010, 5-door, with front electric windows only and rear windows manual (hand crank).

The right front window (passenger side) stopped working, and I was told the window motor needs to be replaced.
After removing the right front passenger door panel, I checked the motor installed in the door and found the part number 6R0 959 812 on it.

However, all parts catalogs list this part number as a rear-right window motor, which is confusing since it’s installed in the right front passenger door.

When searching online for a replacement right front window motor, I can find parts that seem correct, but they have a different part number than the one currently installed in my car, which makes me unsure which one to buy.

My questions are:
  • Is this motor interchangeable between front and rear?
  • Should I replace it with the official right-front (passenger-side) motor, or buy the same part number that is already installed, even though that part number is listed for the rear right door only?
Thanks in advance for any help.
