Whoops seems like this was already addressed, sorry for another post that discusses comfort glass.

The window failed on Friday and I had it fixed by 5pm Sunday. Amazon Prime is amazing!

I also discovered a method for a future mod. While removing the door panel, I accidentally broke the plastic trail for the orange LED that is built into the interior door handle. While the parts were in transit I glued it back together with Loctite Clear gel superglue. Not only does the light work, it works better! It is noticeably brighter than the other three and I can now clearly see the door handle at night with the lights on.

After tearing apart the door:

The old regulator; it obviously didn't want to live anymore:
