Aisin!

 

Ya... There's no question on this one, regardless of budget.
If you can't afford Aisin, park the car until you can.

I have to respectfully disagree. It really depends on the part.

I won't say that for something as trivial as a window regulator that Aisin would not be preferable, but I've used plenty of Dorman plastic/nylon pieces that performed precisely as the OEM part did (that is, lasting years).

For this job, and given that the price differential is not likely to be much, and Aisin is OEM, I'd go with Aisin.

 

With Toyota always use Aisin if you can. dorman is good for......I'll get back to ya. Iv bought there parts and 9 times out of 10, they either didn't work, didn't fit, or had different mounting or connectors

 

Yep.
Sometimes, especially on older cars, it's all that's available.
It's hard to screw up nylon washers and body clips and such, but anything that has a cast alloy part, every time I've used them I've either had to ******* engineer something to make it fit... or the thing just hasn't lasted.

 

Hey I did find a use for a doorman latch assembly. It held the title down as I signed it to give my 05 to the new owner lol
