Ackshully - the regulator was replace about 7 years ago - seems to be right on schedule for breaking. The grease was dried up on the center track!

I have tint and it has received scratches from previous door work (dealer induced) Sounds like moving the window switches to the dash makes sense - you avoid the wire harness fatigue failures too.
