I remember carrier plates all the way back to the early 4th gen f bodies. (Like 93 or 94) They were terrible back then, you'd think manufactures would've abandoned the idea back then. But it's all about how they can get them down the assembly line the fastest. If it survives the warranty that's a bonus. I had to remove mine the first winter I had my Ram because I (stupidly) tried to open the window while it was partly frozen. Luckily for me it just popped the clip that attaches the window to the regulator.Carrier plates!!! I've replaced three of them now in my truck. 68k miles btw...
Is this just a Dodge thing? I replaced a dozen window regulators in my Dakotas and Rams over the years. Was a known issue...
Thought they would have figured it out by now. Our newer RAMs are still crap. I don't even want to lower my windows now in fear of them breaking and taking months to get back in stock. Last one I replaced cost me almost $700 and was peak covid times.
