> My older ICE’s most expensive maintenance issues in the last 2 years were the window regulators all failed

I had a car a number of years back where the window controls failed. Fixing it would have been so expensive (more than I could afford at the time) that I drove the entire NY winter with some plastic material taped over the top half of the window (as far up as it was when it failed).

Yeah, I did that for the first one for a month because I couldn’t get in to a mechanic for weeks. After that, I searched “how to replace a window regulator in <my car>” on YouTube and then figured out how to do it myself.

Turns out it was about 45 minutes for me to do it myself. Not only did I save money (about $500 for all of them), but I saved time- going to a mechanic always ended up being about 2h
