It boggles the mind how anyone thought this was a good idea. I prefer metal plates with teeth cut into them for window regulators. Last forever. All you have to do is replace the motor eventually.

On the regulators for bmw none are worth flip since the design sucks so bad. So my logic is buy cheap and buy many.

Its not IF its going to fail it WHEN is it going to fail.

Since stocking them I never worry about it. Also I haven't had one of these cheap ones fail completely. Just the little plastic clip/pocket the cable sits in where it has the lug crimped on it.

Glued with jbweld I have never had one fail since. From now on if I go to install one of these I will jbweld it before I even put it in.
