So over a year ago, my mobile mechanic replaced my front right with this that I got

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-uro-premium-parts/upgraded-front-window-regulator-right/51337020660~upr/

Lasted about ten months and one day it guy stuck again...

I was able to recover a new one through the warranty...

He came again and replaced it... Done... Or so I thought.

He came back a few days later to fix something else... Out of sheer luck, I messed with the same window and the window just fell down.

Clearly we were both upset... Since I had just given him a free CBD oil sample, he didn't complain but just went back in to see what happened and fix it, no charge.

You could tell he was a bit disheveled, who wouldn't be, but he was getting a bit careless, lost a couple of screws, and also scratched up my tint which royally pissed me off. The only mitigating circumstance was the tint was old so I would have to get them replaced at some point but his behavior pissed me off. Keep in mind now, brand new regulator (same model) and I also got new clips on eBay to make sure.

Anyways it was done... Or so I thought, F....M...L...

A couple weeks later, I went to get brand new tint all over, upgraded ceramic. Everything looked amazing.

Couple weeks later, bam, f&@&$* same window falls down again, like it came right off the tracks...

Forget my anger... I contacted him again but he seemed as confused as I was, and kept saying how he does so many of these and he's never seen this happen.

Ok. Well F&@$ that.

Just found a new mobile mech I wanna give a shot.

1. I'm not buying that regulator again just in case it's the reason... So suggestions on alternative?
2. Should I also get new clips again?
3. Should I get any other part or tell the new guy anything... I think I'm done with dealing with this &$&!*!#.

And if this new ceramic tint is scratched up, and you see a big mushroom cloud over Florida, you'll know what happened.

End of rant.

The link doesn't work. Have you considered FCP Euro ? They offer lifetime warranty.

I guess I'll order from FCP next time? I'm not loyal to anyone, whatever I need I'll get.

A constantly failing window regulator is most likely a problem with your window guides. The window guides, from what I understand, are the reason these fail so much. Unfortunately window guides are insanely expensive.

But a window falling off the tracks doesn't sound like a problem with the regulator but instead by installation error, unless some critical piece is broken. He should have noticed that though during the install.
