i had both my gmc trucks door regulators replaced 2 times by the dealer, after the warranty the pass side went out again, the ebay one out lasted the dealer one.
i had manual windows but the mechanics are all the same. the cable fails, or the plastic rollers fail and eat the cable.

You guy know.. the biggest issue is probably lack of lube and then the ball pulls through the plastic. Bonne guys have made up metal to put in there. I'm thinking I might figure it out for W bodies.

i used to spray everything down best i could with anything wd-40 to silicone spray, then switched to graphite spray for locks, that stuff is slick. and works well.

And the junkyard might be better but then again it is used and you can't predict how long it would last.

I put one of the cheapie window regulators (from RockAuto) in mine. It lasted about 8 months.
I've sinced replaced witha Dorman from Checker and it's basically the same as OEM whereas the cheapie had a plastic return pully assembly.
The cheapo you got from ebay will work, for a little while. When it breaks (it will break), replaced it with a good one.
The Dorman from Checker has a lifetime warranty.

Let me know if you need help with drawings or getting some pieces made. I can probably help.
I'm not crazy about the aftermarket ones either, no matter the cost. After comparing the operation of a new OEM part to a +$130 aftermarket part, I'll never buy aftermarket on one of these again.
