Need new window regulators

[RonB]

Any recommendations? Was looking at WAI Global or ACI on Rock Auto. Not really a fan of Dorman stuff. Although its probably all made in the same factory. LOL

I have had bad luck with the ones that look like the original ones for a 2005 libby. The plastic on the original ones likes to crack and break. I got the cheaper ones from Ebay that have two cables about a year ago. They work twice as fast and I have not had any problems so far.

Used Mopar is better and will last longer than new aftermarket. I recommend www.car-part.com for that.

I dont think I can find any used that arnt as old or worn out. Mines 2012 with 130k miles. I dont use passenger side and it died about 1 week before the drivers side I use everyday.

Dorman was no good for me. need to confirm not a switch or a frayed wire, just saying

That's not whats causing the noise. But not buying dorman

I bought metal regulators for all windows 6 years ago, since one of the plastic original ones cracked, and since then no issues...

If it's "just" a cracked plastic bracket, consider replacing it with a metal one. The original version can be purchased from Steiger Performance (http://www.steigerperformance.com/products/products_jeep.html). Mine had a knock-off imitation that I had to re-rivet after a while, but the Steiger version is guaranteed.

I only see listed for 02-06 Liberty. Will that work for 2012?

No, totally different mechanism on the 08-12 KK Liberty. I am running 3 original window regulators and one I replaced because I accidentally broke it while removing a door latch mechanism I was working on.
