Can anyone name four 'chronic' defects which routinely occur in the 1963 Studebaker Avanti power window system?

Only FOUR !😬

Let’s see: contacts on the switches burn and lose their contacts, the breaker under the hood goes bad, the fiberglass cracks around the regulator and water gets into the motor causing it to freeze up. Also the stops for the window travel get lose and allow over travel, wires on the earlier or rather everything but the late models have wiring that can break or short as it’s not in a controlled run at the hinge post as in the late 64’s. Etc. etc.

No, I'm not depressed at all!....I converted my '63 over to factory manual windows about three years ago...and then sold the power window regulators to a fellow from New Zealand who needed them...EVERYBODYS HAPPY!!!
