We replaced one window motor, between 2010-2020. Window tint didn’t allow, card to open gate.

Our current SUV card through the window doesn’t work on northern very low gates.

Between the 6’s card works 80% without open.

Our current village gate, south of 44 doesn’t work through the window, along with others in our neighborhood. It’s a pain 2-4 times a day, so definitely will spend $20

Of course, all drivers are aware that automobiles have first right of way, then golf carts can move. Many golf cart drivers think they are entitled to go first so problems ensue.

That is because the golf cart has a stop sign at the MMP crossings. In other places the automobile has a stop sign and carts have the "first right of way". Some people post "cars ALWAYS have the right of way"---that type of fallacious thinking is a formula for a serious accident.

Default Window motor replacement

I replaced a window motor 6 years after moving to The Villages. $340 for the part, my labor.
Since gluing the entry card to my car mirror, I now rarely lower the driver's window. I would buy the new sticker as backup to my present system, or vice versa. It's only $20.
