I OWN (BOUGHT USED) A 1999 BUICK CENTURY, AT 27,000 MILES MY DRIVERS WINDOWS REGULATOR/MOTOR WENT OUT. AT 30,000 I HIT A LITTLE BUMP WHILE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE BROKE AND FELL DOWN, OF COURSE I SAW IT AND SWERVED A BIT, BUT FORTUNATELY NOT TOO MUCH. MY MOTHER OWNS A 2000 BUICK CENTURY, AT 20,000 HER DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BROKE....I AM JUST WAITING FOR A FEW MORE MILES AND THEN HER PASSENGER SIDE WILL GO. GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO MAKE THESE PARTS BETTER. I DO BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, DUE TO THE GENERAL REACTION OF SOMETHING HAPPENING LIKE THAT WHILE A PERSON IS DRIVING.
