Personally, I see nothing wrong with the stock setup as long as it's working as 
designed.   If it's broken (as yours is), I think it makes more sense to 
repair it (which costs $40) rather than replacing it with any of a number of 
competing, ever-more-expensive and complicated designs.

It's quite true that the aftermarket setups (whether we're talking about 
the Vadar kit or one of its clones, or the Aerostar conversion) will make the 
window go up and down faster, and the former setup saves some weight.   But 
to me, there is no problem with the fact that the stock motors don't launch 
the glass up and down at blazing speed.

Others may disagree....
