2001 Volkswagen GTI window and wiper problems

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

TWO MONTHS AGO MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW BROKE - IT WAS THE REGULATOR (COST ME $400 +), THAT GOT FIXED AND TWO WEEKS AGO MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BROKE, I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED UNTIL I CHECKED ON RECALLS BUT I DID NOT LOCATE ANY. I AM SURE IT IS THE REGULATOR AND WILL PROBABLE COST ANOTHER $400. HAVE ANY OTHERS SUBMITTED THIS ISSUE.
