1/2 year after my post on this issue, my windows are still working perfectly.
In Europe I was quoted IIRC around 1300EUR to replace just the front window regulators. Bought them as spares from Germany and got them installed in a regular auto shop. Total around 600EUR
I brought my can in so many times for them to fix this issue I lost count, but on the last visit they replaced all 4 motors. They said the motors keep track of the windows positions and so that was the reason to replace them. Before this, when the windows wouldn't roll up I would have to try the switch multiple times before I can get them to roll up. After the new motors were put in, they roll up 99.99% of the time. On the one occasion it didn't, it only took one extra push of the button to get it to roll up.
I would have to find the work order, but just tell them to replace the motor. There's only one motor per window so there shouldn't be any confusion.
Will do - I’ve told them in the past to replace the regulators as it seemed like that was fixing the issue for some folks. I wish they would just replace everything related to the windows, every time I take it in I’m without my car for a month (do have a loaner though)
They also replaced the regulators, reprogrammed, etc in the past. Each time they did one thing, and yes each time they kept my car for weeks...very frustrating. But, in all, I put around 5k miles on the loaner instead of my car so there's that.
