As for window regulators, my X has yet to have a failure.

The locations where the X is operated has a lot to do with many of the problems that people are experiencing. Both of you guys live in Texas which I wouldn't call a rust belt state. You winter is not as harsh as people living in Canada or further North.

Temperature extreme affects the properties of material. Rubber items such as CV boots can crack when the temp drop below 0F.
