Gents,
I replaced my driver's side window regulator in November of 2012, and here we are 9 months later, and I'm facing the same repair again... lifting driver's door handle makes the "drop" sound, but the glass doesn't go down that half inch or so.. before shutting the door, I have to push the glass down by hand a half inch so it'll close properly. What's odd is that when I do this and close the door, it correctly pushes the glass up that half inch and seals it properly. Lowering the window with the switch makes awful awful noises
My question is, is this one of those parts that you don't want to skimp on and get OEM, or is it really that prone to breakage? The first one I had replaced was working for 4.5 years before needing replacement, and this one died 9 months in (ebay purchase).
What's the deal?
