Anyone else have friggin' possessed windows?

The windows on this car are a full time job. Over the past two years:

->Replaced both window motors (both were working crappy)
->Replaced broken driver side window switches
->Passenger side window decided to occasionally stop working from the driver side switch (cleaned contacts on passenger side switch - seemed to work)
->Replaced both outer door seals to reduce window rattling
->Numerous tweaks and adjustments to reduce wind noise.

...now the driver side window has decided not to work on cold mornings. I can hear clicking (I guess from the express down module) but no action until the car warms up a bit.
Should I be assuming I have a bad window motor again???

Anyone buy motors off Ebay? They are half the price of off the shelf.

Forget the engine.....
I am still trying to find a way to put a 150 shot of NOS on my window motors.

They just flat out suck due to being underpowered.

That or I just crack them.

My passenger one isnt aligned right, It could go up higher and it pops out when I go high speed, I must have bought it that way?

I havent had to change a motor yet.... Hope I dont, But! I dont open them when it's cold, I found they are so slow so I just open the door at the ATM or at the gas station and save the window the work!
