Worst engineering, EVER.

I've worked on almost every part of my car in general, and I'm going to have to say that the window up/down mechanism design is the stupidest engineering in the history of GM for workability. It took me two hours to get my window back on the track after it fell off last night. I just made it before the rain too.

That makes me

SSTUPID...DESIGN!!! ya the pullys and cables on the newer gm`s are much better..when they break there`s no putting the window back on without replacing half of the entire door
