5k window regulators

[Steve Arbaugh]

A general question for those with long-term 5k’s, how long, typically, do
your window regulators last? I’ve replaced the one in the drivers door twice
in the ten or so years I’ve had it, and it’s making symptoms of having to be
replaced again. Is this typical of others? Are there tricks to prolong the
lifetime of these things? I’ve somehow brought the current one back to life,
but am not expecting it to last too long. I’m somewhat saddened that I can
replace those things in pretty short order anymore; I wish I wasn’t so
familiar with the guts of that door (regulator, door handle and lock
linkages, wiring harness, 
sigh
).

Just curious
