I have manual windows, and they have failed four times between the
two of them.  They get stuck in the up position.  When I try to
crank them down, I can turn about a half a crank.  I can still
force them a bit, but the crank feels rubbery.  The dealer has
fixed them under warranty each time.  One is broken as I write.
