Are you replacing existing ones? There are some good YouTube videos on rebuilding these actuators. 99% of the time, you just need to disassemble and clean up the brushes and commutator surface. I did that with mine and it was like magic. They went from old and tired to snappy. Only issue appears to be that you can't get the rubber boots anywhere, so that could be an issue depending on how much weather your car sees.

Here's an example
