The window motors (front & rear on driver's side) in my XTerra both failed. That was around 2007. The car was six years old but hardly driven after 2005. No gates involved. Back then it was $100 apiece to have them replaced. Who knows how much it is now.

I wonder how many people who break gates report themselves to Community Watch. :shocked: |

So what did we learn.
Gate crashers exist, they will enter the community and remain anonymous. Why do we need a gate that opens with a card or pushing a button? Why can't they open automatically when we enter as they do when we exit? A million dollars in repairs can go a long way. Follow the money. |

Numerous folks have stated that they just hold the card up to the window and the gate will open. I very seldom roll down the window to enter a gate. The only times I have to roll the window down is when the sensor is either above or below the window. If the sensor is ever with the window glass, just get within a foot or so and hold the card flat against the window.

It sounds good when people suggest that the entrance gates be set up to open automatically like the exit ones do. But…..
Our cards have our particular property/ID information embedded in them, and the system logs in that info when the card is swiped to open the gate. (This is what I was told at the district offices when I had to replace our gate cards because one was lost.) Maybe somebody here knows more about that, and the possibility that the system tracks entrants for security reasons. There might be more to it than just slowing down cars so carts can merge in. |

People without cards can enter TV streets by merely pushing a button. Contractors, delivery vans and other non-residents are constantly in and out. I've heard rumors about cameras at the gates, but I've been told by gate attendants there are no cameras. |
