He said "Not very long in the Villages." The window motor should last a long time. It's not like you are opening your car window a hundred times a day. I hope your window motor was covered under warranty.
Re: electric windows.
They are not the same in all cars. I have a chevy. A friend told me the electric windows are a problem in GM. Mine is ONLY 11 years old and works fine. I think the problem is holding the switch on after the window has reached the top or the bottom of it's travel.
The motor is stalled at that point and you can burn it out that way.
