ON 12/24/2007 THE RIGHT REAR POWER WINDOW ON MY 2002 BUICK LESABRE BROKE. IT WAS REPAIRED AT A BUICK DEALERSHIP ON 12/28/2007. THIS IS THE THIRD POWER WINDOW TO BREAK. THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW BROKE ON 6/28/2007 AND THE LEFT REAR WINDOW BROKE ON 12/4/2007. THESE WINDOWS ALL BROKE IN THE DOWN POSITION, SO A REPAIR IS NECESSARY. ALL WINDOW HAD VERY FEW OPERATIONS. I WOULD ESTIMATE NO MORE THAN 100 OPERATIONS FOR THE FRONT WINDOWS AND NO MORE THAN 50 OPERATIONS FOR THE REAR WINDOWS. THE RELIABILITY OF THE WINDOWS SHOULD BE BASED ON OPERATIONS AND NOT MILEAGE. *TR
ON 9/30/2007, I ROLLED MY DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DOWN TO PAY FOR PARKING AT BWI AIRPORT. THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I PICKED UP SOME FRIENDS AND WE HEADED TO BALTIMORE MARYLAND WHERE WE HAD A RESERVATION FOR LUNCH. THE HIGHWAY HAD BEEN SCORED FOR FUTURE RE-SURFACING, SO THERE WAS MORE DEBRIS THAN USUAL. A PASSING CAR KICKED UP A STONE AND IT WENT PAST MY HEAD AND HIT MY PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT AT 60 MPH. FORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T HIT ANYONE IN THEIR EYE OR ELSE THEIR INJURY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. *TR
