Driver's side crapped out after 7 years and 60k miles. Passenger side is still original (8 years, 65k miles) but is getting reeeeeeeally slow....won't be long now.

Passenger side once, OEM driver's side is on it's way out.

I replaced the passenger side with one that came with a lifetime warranty. I hope I don't have to use it.

Driver side(replaced under warranty) and dimensions will cover that failure for those who have the 100k/6yr package! Passenger side is beginning to show signs of "slowdown"
