Hi Jason,
                     I have an electric front car door 
window opener/closer mechanism which
has no problems except one tooth gone from
a 1.00 dollar plastic gear. The complex electric
motor etc works fine and is like new but to fix
it I have to replace the whole motor mechanism
because the part is designed to be disposable.
A $200.00 disposable part.  Very discouraging!

Eric
