Owner report 10135882 · 2005-09-08 (September 8, 2005)
BOTH POWER WINDOW REGULATORS FOR THE BACK WINDOWS FAIL TO RAISE AND LOWER THE WINDOWS, LEFT SIDE IN EARLY 2004, AND NOW THE RIGHT SIDE IN LATE SUMMER OF 2005. I DETERMINED THAT THE PLASTIC MOLD INJECTED SLIDER (INSIDE THE METAL TRACK FOR THE WINDOW) IN THE LEFT REAR WINDOW HAS BROKEN, AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE CASE WITH THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW ALSO. I AM SIMPLY WAITING FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW TO BREAK AS IT IS EXHIBITING SLOWNESS WHILE GOING UP AND DOWN. *NM
