Used all the methods, my Younger Brother told me to just put the card on the window and it works. Use that method now. I do roll my window down from time to time and they still work after three years. Great place to live and would not retire anywhere else. Paradise. Buy a convertible it works so easy with the top down. Sun is shining and is going to be another fantastic day. twoplanedkid seems to post great info and wants to improve how individuals access gates. Good for him. Cheers Oldman. (that's what the called me at work). Customers called me lots more name's.

Please feel free to leave this thread at your earliest convenience.

Replacement window motor: $185-$360 (Replaced two since we moved here)

Mirror device: Pull up, wait 2 seconds, move on

Odd that many others haven't mentioned replacing window motors. You aren't the only one rolling your window down, I know I do it all the time and most of the cars in front of me do also. With 70,000+ homes and all the traffic and all the gates and all the people going through those gates you would expect hundreds of motors to need replacing every year.

A system that did not require rolling down a window would be better. This system *might* work through the window (it does for some). Perhaps once this upgrade is completed a mirror device will be investigated but it is sure to come with a cost both to the CDDs/PWAC and to each resident who desires to use it.

But what does the $270,000 upgrade provide and why?

Who is promoting this upgrade? Why?

$270,000!!!!!

That information is available from the PWAC page (link provided above) yet you haven't expended the effort to read it. Why?

wow after living here for 22 years I’ve finally found a person who has had to replace his window motor ,AND NOT ONCE BUT TWICE ,all I can say is WOW

Incorrect assertion!

Which is incorrect:
1. The information is on the website
2. The link was provided
3. You didn't take the time to read it

And if 3 is the incorrect assertion, then why are you asking questions without also providing the answers?

I sold window regulators to the OEM's for 30 years. (Both mechanical and electric.) They are designed and tested to a B10 life of one million cycles. That means 90% of them could be cycled 100 times a day for 50 years. (Assuming proper use or accidents.) Please contact me if you have replaced twice, I need lottery tickets

As I started this thread to alert Villagers about changes to the gate system, let me make these three points to present my current take on this situation at this moment in time.

If the numbers presented pan out to be true for future cost savings, the District CDDs should save money on some maintenance costs by making this change.

Will the cloned cards work after these changes are made? I still am not sure from the replays received from District staff and am still waiting on the answer to this question. “Are you going to let the Villagers that have cloned cards and the people that are selling them know about your stopping their cards from working? And, is there a gate that I can test my cloned card on to make sure it doesn't work?”

Why make Villagers go outside the system to have a better system (in my opinion) for activating the gates? If the cloned coin cards still work using the new system, why doesn’t the District provide the option of receiving coin cards from them that can be placed in car mirrors to activate the gates without human intervention? I will ask them that question!

I’m not the guy that had it replaced I’m the guy that was being SARCASTIC lol

Maybe you need a different car? Or replace the electric window with a manual one?

Those that abuse the rules are most often offended when the rules change.

You don't appreciate all the valuable and informative and detailed observations? Well! Imagine that!
