01 Grand Prix - drivers window regulator gone bad - replaced with aftermarket part. Bad again? Why does this keep happening?

What about it is broken? Is this a power window problem or manual? Both have regulators and neither like to be forced. Ice is a problem sticking glass and forcing them causes issues in some more than others,

It is an electric window, you can hear the motor working but it will not move. I think the cables are shot. I already replaced it once.

If two door it should look like this........

You really need to go in there and see what went wrong and hope something can just be put back in place. Noticed while looking it seemed this was only available as an assembly.

Some of this crap is under-engineered IMO and just a pill. While in there, lube everything up so it's easier on the dang thing,

Something is likely binding in the channels somewhere causing the window to bind and break the regulator.
