10 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2008

I have a 2000 Buick Lesabre with 71,000 miles. The drivers side rear window was partially down and I attempted to roll it up when a loud pop sounded from the door and the window started to slowly creep further open. The plastic tab that holds the cable in place broke. The gm dealer wanted over $400 for the regulator, minus installation. I found a replacement for $125 and installed it myself. After looking at the regulator, I know the other three window regulators will also break. It is time for gm to admit they have a problem and fix these defective window regulators.
