    Does anyone have experience with VDO, MTC, URO or Dorman? Or is it best to shell out the extra money on OEM?

    Stick to oem, from what I've read if you try aftermarket regulators you mights end up having to replace it more often. Buying the oem once > buying aftermarket 2-3 times
    Wagons are made to haul things, mine is made to haul ass

    Yeah, good call. I just found an oem regulator online for $109 plus $9.50 shipping so I went ahead and bought it. My regulator broke yesterday so I now have a piece of wood inside the door panel to prop the window closed until the new part arrives.

    URO is not recommended.

    VDO is recommended.

    OEM is highly recommended.
