Initially, I was trying to find out how much extra money BMW was making off us by poorly manufacturing these actuators in the first place but after reading several of these threads I have another question.
Are window actuators destined to go out or does it have something to do with the owners window rolling technique?
I saw a few that said none have gone out and on some other threads I read where one guy had 12 go out. What's the difference between these two situations? Did the guy that had 12 go out get 12 bad actuators or is there a difference between the way he treats his window switches than the people that have had none go out? My wife drives mine now and I know she doesn't use any special care to the way she rolls up/down her windows and this is the 3rd one to go out.
Conversly, my lexus hasn't had any go out and she drove that car for about 150K now.
In summation, is it the actuator destined to fail or is it our button technique that helps them fail?
