^I wouldn't be opening them either LOL

Yes I am in agreement about all 3 things and the order of failure. I know the guy who runs RegulatorFix.com was a member and/or vendor here which is why I chose to order a pair from him as a "test run".

I have yet to confirm, but I did watch a video where the slider clips were replaced in situ on Youtube, again in agreement that if one goes through the trouble to remove the entire WR, one should just replace it (and/or perhaps replace the slider clips with heavier duty ones at that time). If I am able to replace the slider clips in situ, as you are able to do with the black plastic clips, I theorize that you can extend the OE regulator lifespan by probably 50% or more.

Will update when I get some free time to do this, I need to pick up some spare door panel clips from the dealer.
