I don't think its a poor design. Due to technological constraints that was the best/robust they could design in 1990. Up here try any one of the auto salvage yards or pick your parts places for early-mid 90's Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, the first thing you notice "picked" over are power window parts.wingFeather wrote:I second that. It is either a poor design, or one that could benefit from routine lubrication (and nobody ever oils them).
