Consumer Description

WHILE TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL, THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR MADE A LOUD POPPING/GRINDING NOISE, THEN THE WINDOW SANK DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE TO ME (SAME NOISES IN COLD,RAINY WEATHER, BOTH TIMES) ON MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. SINCE IT COST ME ALMOST $400 FOR THE FIRST WINDOW, I REPLACED THE PART (THE ENTIRE REGULATOR) MYSELF THIS TIME. THERE IS A LITTLE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE WIRE IN PLACE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BROKE. WHEN IT DID, THE REGULATOR GOT THE WIRE WRAPPED UP AROUND IT IN A NON-FIXABLE CONDITION. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED. I STILL HAVE THE "BAD" PART IF YOU NEED IT FOR INVESTIGATION. *TR
